Oh THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I have the write ups and digital suggestions from the laminitis site in Great Britain I could give her - if I could save this mare … she is metabolic & I feed her for insulin

Re: BOT flies - deworm again?

BTW, having EMS does not mean you should deworm less often. The drugs themselves are not going to cause laminitis. It's a systemic reaction to a large worm kill that might cause issues with the feet.

Re: BOT flies - deworm again?

If you are constantly finding large amounts of bot eggs on him, deworm with ivermectin in mid summer in addition to the fall deworming. Double dose strongid is fine for tapes as long as you do it

Re: BOT flies - deworm again?

Re: Help for Mare following extreme over-trimming to sole

HI Makendra What a horrid thing for a "trimmer" to do! I would definitely post something on FB to warn others. One time when my mare got cut too short, we bypassed the boots and got some thick foam

Re: Update on Isaac

Thanks Cass! I do have a special spot in my heart for Isaac. Gosh, I appreciate your reply. I wish I could share a video of Isaac to show how he behaves/walks/runs/causes trouble and just plain acts

It's still early in the bot fly season and life cycle. Read about it here https://foundationequine.com/blog//horse-stomach-bots . Warm soapy water will hatch most of the eggs but there are also bot
