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

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

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 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,

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 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

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

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

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, 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

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

I don't have an answer, but I had to say, Fergus is SO STINKING CUTE. I think he's looking good.

Oh Bobbie, I'm crying with you. I'm so very sorry. You were the best horse mom for Desi that she could have possibly had. Thank you so much for loving her so well. Again, I'm so, so sorry. Sending you

Judy, Bugsy is handsome! He looks so good. I agree, I'm so grateful for this group and my awesome hoof care professional. It has made all the difference for my horse.

Hi Donna, I have always been told by my horse's vets, even the current one, to dose him 20 - 22 pills 2x per day. So that's probably where you got the higher number.

Nancy, Vinnie looks great. He's so cute. How wonderful to see him doing so well, glad you shared that video!

Ok, good to know. Thank you Dr. Kellon.

Dr. Kellon, is there anything that can be done to help a horse recover from colon damage due to Banamine? Or does the vet need to use something else in the case of colic? Thank you, Joy

Fantastic news!

He's a lovely horse. I did not know that about stallions Lavinia. Interesting! I'm with you Martha. I clicked on this one to see what they got wrong in the "article" ... Wouldn't it be great if we cou
