Just seconding those opinions...Vinnie looks wonderful!!!

Bobbie - Scotty is estimated to be around 40 (we have no records, this is by equine dentist, vets, and UW-Madison vet school.) I have owned him for 17 years, and was told he was much younger than what

Love this idea as I am a visual person, and love putting a face to the name. Unfortunately, the original link was blank, and I am unable to print the pics that were added here later. As this idea grow

Also Nina - I started Scotty on 1 mg Prascend and he is now on 5 mg Pergolide. Don't let the numbers scare you as they did me.

Nina - I have often said that my Scotty (40'ish) has lived so long in spite of my best efforts, not so much because of them. I too came here feeling like I had 1,000 pound weight on my shoulders, beca

In previous boarding situations Scotty had thrush in all 4 feet. It was horrible. I have tried every product known to man and horse, and I am with Dawn and HIGHLY RECOMMEND No Thrush. There is a purpl

How frustrating Bobby, and especially disappointing with the vet postponing for such a lengthy time. IMHO, that is not something to put a horse down for. It appears to my non-professional eye to be an

Kelly - I used the pre-ground flax for a year or so, and then discovered that I could greatly reduce my cost by grinding my own flax. It's quick and easy and saves me money.

I haven't been checking in here as regularly as usual, so I am late in expressing my sincere sorrow at the loss of your beautiful girl. She really was magnificent. I recently bought a small book of Na

Since Scotty basically has food 24/7, I give him Mov-Ease with other supplements as a top dressing on his soaked ODTBC. I do notice a difference when he is taking Mov-Ease, so that is just my 2 cents.

Three cheeers!!! I know what it's like to see your horse finally move...it's a great feeling. He looks awesome and I love Vinnie's personality...or I should say horseanality.

I don't know where we would be without you Dr. Kellon. Hope you had an amazing day and a healthy and wonderful year ahead.

Appreciate the simple explanations Dr. Kellon. It will help when talking to others.

Sara - Scotty eats the banana, but seems to prefer the fenugreek, so that is the only one I buy now. He hates peppermint anything, so I knew better than to try that.

First of all LJ...what an AWESOME barn owner you have. Not many boarding facilities will accommodate multiple feed schedules, etc. Scotty pretty much eats like that all the time...and he has only had

My horse is alone too. I worm once with Ivermectin in the Spring, and once in the fall after a hard frost with something that will also take care of tapes. I did not get a fecal this year; just one mo

LJ - I used MSM for years and years. When I started with recommendations here I was told to stop it.

I don't know if this is any consolation Tara, but a lot of people in our area had lots of problems with hay for the last 3 years...all sticky, hard, stemmy, etc. However, what I wanted to mention was

Kathy - I have seen clinicians use large round (kind of like pom poms) balls in horse's ears to dull the noise. I'm glad the Lyme test was negative. At least you are making baby steps forward!!

I know I'm late to the discussion here, but just got a chance to read through this. My Scotty has been body clipped (read shaved!!!) for at least the last 12-14 springs. Irregardless of meds, etc. he
