Would it be appropriate to request the Trainer Package (#603) test w/ Equi-Analytical for testing hay pellets or would the Equine Complete package (#604) test be better? Also, how many different bags

Hi Bonnie, He's getting 1 1/2 cup of orchard pellets & 1/2 cup of LMF Low NSC Complete right now. I'm trying to do away with the LMF completely & shift over to 1/2 beet pulp & 1/2 hay pellets only bec

Standlee isn't an option around here. I'm really just trying to get him to mostly eat beet pulp (and not much of that) with a little bit of "taste tempter" which will either be the orchard pellets or

Hi Bonnie, Willie's diet is mainly tested hay that he is free fed via a slow feeder. I have had him on tested hay for about 1 1/2 years now and have seen a HUGE difference in him. I just had to adjust

I'll try the brewers yeast, thank you Bonnie!

Hi Martha, Because I free feed Willie his hay, I can't put the salt on it. I don't think it would stick and surely I'd have a buildup at the bottom of his feeder. If I soaked his hay, that would absol

Hi Kirsten, I did see that suggestion, but I have reservations because Willie's hay is double bagged to slow him down, and most of the surface of the hay is covered by net, so I think that the salt wa

Hi Sherry, I did try leaving loose salt for him. He dumped it out. He was probably expecting an extra, tasty bucket, and got salt. Outrage. He will lick a salt block, and I've got one in his shelter,

Thank you Kim! What a great idea! I really appreciate this and all the other suggestions. This is the most amazing group. SO GRATEFUL to you all. Joy

Hi Trisha, I used Voltaren gel on my horse's hocks last winter and it worked well without clipping, although his hocks are not really *that* hairy at any time of year. I did find that the gel irritate

FYI: There is also a change in the liquid compounded pergolide now. The suspension oil is milky and very watery (I thought it was water) and there are visible particles that settle and separate very q

Thanks for your reply Laura. I'm just nervous to change *anything* because it's taken almost 2 years to get my horse at his current condition. Also, the adaptor sent for the bottle to syringe the dose

Aaaand now I can't get a call to go through to Avrio. One ring and then nothing or a straight busy signal. This is definitely not a great first impression all around.

It's ok, I sent an email to see if I can get the correct size adaptor. Thank you though Laura. Just want to confirm, the molasses flavoring is not actually molasses, correct? Thank you again, Joy

Thank you again Laura, for your replies and the information, I really appreciate it. You have helped allay some of my fears with this change.

FWIW I found ivermectin online on several horse websites, with no markup to the price. Most recently I found it on riding warehouse.

Oh my goodness, he looks AMAZING Nancy! <3

Please don't beat yourself up Diane. My horse likely was PPID/IR for YEARS before he was diagnosed. He saw 4 different vets over those years and not one of them suggested testing. You're here now, and

Aurelio, You may not know the answer to this, but is there any possibility that Ontario Dehy might one day sell balanced cubes that are *not* timothy hay based, but another type of hay such as orchard
