I am trying to get a consultation with Dr. K. Is there an email address that is regularly checked to make an appointment? I don't want to clutter the list with this, so if anyone could send me a messa

Thank you, Nancy! I fear the same. She is on Vitex Agnus now and since two weeks, we will give it another six weeks hoping it might be enough. Poor girl is so uncomfortable often, and it also affects

Can someone please message me if he/she has heard of this or point me to a list/source or similar for information on using phytoestrogen instead of estradiol for hormonal problems in mares? Our molly

That's where I order my copper. Apart from that I have everything custom mixed here where I am, by a big feed manufacturer. You can ask around, some do custom mixes. Send an email to Dairy One, they w

Thank you, Sandra! I will pull a new sample and have it retested. Just to be sure. Testing costs an arm and a leg here, but it will make me feel better to retest, I think! Jennifer in Germany Laramie

Hello there, I'm wondering if I need to retest my hay. In your opinion, is 305mg manganese very high? Should I suspect surface contamination? I was so happy when I saw the low iron (very rare here in

I would highly recommend VSL3 (the product for human use). Extremely economical, and live cultures. Have to keep it refrigerated of course. As you have to give around 40 billions CFU per day minimum,

Thank you, Kathleen! 1oz being 28g that sounds absolutely not too much to me. I remember Lars from Sweden doing some calculations once re: ALA and iirc he came up with a little higher amounts. So I wo

Hello there, I'm confused right now. I searched the archives and looked at the website and that confused me even more, haha! A member of this list says she has been told by Dr. K to feed 2 oz of groun

Kissing Spines come in various "grades", for lack of better word. Our john mule, IR, has them all along his back. He is pain free when not being ridden, so we retired him at age 9. He is a very happy

Export to the UK is not a humane option IMO. Apart from costing around $6000 for transport it just makes no sense to put a 33 y o horse through such a drastic change. I'm not saying that transport is

Turmeric= Curcuma. Not Turmeric= curry. Curry is indeed a spice mixture, of which curcuma longa (=turmeric) is a part of. http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/turmeric Jennifer in Germany Laramie

As you cannot balance your hay, you still feed vitamin E, ground flaxseed and something like CA Trace or AZ Copper Complete so that he at least gets a decent amount of copper and zinc, right? DId you

No, not afraid, hehe! It's just not possible to do yet. I have to get my minerals mixed by a supplement manufacturer. So next time I will do some more math and subtract calcium from the recipe. The ma

Forgive me if this has been discussed ad nauseam, I am too dumb to find it with searching the archives. *blushes* So the Phosphor I can feed has a certain amount of calcium in it, and other components

Oh! Haha! I got that wrong then. :) It would be by far cheaper to buy the individual ingredients in the US and put them together yourself. Shipping from Europe depends on the weight and is not cheap.

Ellen, you can have whatever you want mixed here: www.futtermanufaktur.de in Germany with no minimum amount. Shipping to the Netherlands shouldn't be expensive. You can also order individual minerals,

Yes, I saw that, and the pictures and x-rays. :) I don't want to say anything really, as I know you're in best hands with Linda. And I am just a layperson trimming her own equines. Hope she chimes in

Hope Linda chimes up soon, but in the meantime I would say that the toes are too long, and at least in the RF the heels can come down. I would not be happy with the trim, but I am not a pro, so hope s

You cannot do this if you don't know what's in the hay. You cannot feed an amount x into a horse when you don't know the iron content that you are trying to counteract. Jennifer in Germany Laramie Jul
