Not Dr. Kellon, but I have used Stops Colic, now called Say Whoa, three times. As they advertise, within 30 minutes, the victim was no longer pawing or wanting to lie down, and started grazing. I cons

I use CoolStance to add calories for weight gain and as a carrier for supplements without adding sugar, starch, gmo, herbicides, pesticides, Omega 6. It has usable protein and fat in the form of mediu

I've been feeding NuZu for about a month. No problems, even with the one getting 4 lbs per day. I will say they are very eager to get their meals and maybe a little more crazy, but that is probably ju

So sorry for your loss, Jenny. You gave her many well-loved years. Carol and Rossi in Maryland 2003

I know it's a heart wrenching decision to have to make, euthanizing an old friend, especially if they still have that light in their eyes. It may be hard on him to be moved at his age and he would mis

That's interesting about the iron and manganese. I have a draft cross gelding in his 20's who came to me 4 years ago growing a REALLY long winter coat, shed OK in the spring. Since I've been supplemen

If you feed hay outside, you could try a hay net inside a HayHut. I built a pallet to fit inside the hayhut to keep the hay off the ground. If he pulls the net out of the hayhut, you could fasten the

Horses aren't very good at getting salt by licking a block. Salt is the only mineral horses seek out, so I would put at least 2 tbs. loose salt into his feed. Barring some disorder, he should have as

I've been feeding Coolstance Copra for over 2 years now. It's a great carrier for supplements, and good to put on weight if needed. Some say it is not good for IR or PPID horses because of the fat con

Cleaned my 100 gallon water tank out yesterday during a rare warm spell, and as usual the bottom of the tank was covered with orange slime as was the tank heater element, which I assume is iron. I've

Thanks, Dr. Kellon, that's good to know. I keep the tank full so they aren't drinking the stuff near the bottom. Carol and Rossi in Maryland 2003.

One caution with the NuZu. I had 2 horses choke on it recently. It was wet but not dissolved. I believe the pellets are so small they don't chew it much, and just bolt it down. One of the horses had n

I might add that if the discomfort IS from an abscess, cold soaking will delay the draining. You want to promote blood flow and whatever movement the horse wants to do, not forced movement. Warm soaks

Could she have choked? Maybe the esophagus is blocked before the stomach? Carol and Rossi in Maryland 2003

My 4 geldings do well on Coolstance. I use it as a carrier for supplements, about 1lb. per meal twice a day. My skinny gets 4 lbs per day. The medium chain fats are better than corn or soy oil. Carol

I am not a distributor for CoolStance. My experience is that it works for my guys, one of whom is PPID. There is a case history for Rossi. I will no longer post on this list, but lurk. Carol in Maryla

If I can get my vet to cooperate, I will get all tested. I never received the paperwork in August and don't know where she sent it. Carol and Rossi in Maryland 2003 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups
