I also have to say my vets were great they were available at all hours of the night and listened to me every time I would call even my dumb questions. They were so gentle with my horse and I can't say enough good things about them. They think possibly he had cancer we will never be sure because...

After a routine dental in December a week later he was running in the paddock and coughed up blood not a little spool of it. Called vet and they came out . Got an internal specialist to come out scoped him and he had lesions that were in the process of healing in his throat. Slight heart murmur...

Sadly I must post that my horse of 25 years passed away this past Monday. My days have been filled with tears and the barn is so empty. I wasn't going to go onto any sites about horses but I can't resist. Maybe I can help someone else anyway. I have certainly learned a lot over these past eight...

So sorry to hear about your horse. Hope he is better but in reading the posts about clover and in hay. Two years ago my horse was eating his hay, not foaming but a lot of saliva found the hay had horse nettle in it. It was supposed to be good quality hay that I bought but that year a lot of...

Found the laminitis site. Thank you it was,very informative. Still not sure about stall rest or paddock though our paddock is thick sand. I live in the south where there is lots of sand. So I'm thinking he would be fine out in the paddock. Looking into Pete Ramsey's site next thanks again

Taking my iPad with me and hopefully they have wifi so I can do research when I'm away. Thank you for the suggestion. Worried about going but the new shoe with pour pad goes on tomorrow and hopefully he is ok. Think yesterday was just a lot of poking on that foot as much as he's still really...

Vet came out yesterday, and took more X-rays. He no longer has thrush but his left foot has dropped slightly and they suspect laminitis as well he is day three back on pergolyde with just half dose. I didn't talk to the vet about this, they might have flipped. The farrier came out in the...

Thanks will approach the subject with her tomorrow. They are not to keen on other views though. I'm thinking I should maybe give him half the dose today or even a quarter and start him again. After listening to everyone who's horses have done good. Just not sure what to do. I was trying a...

I will look into it again it is nice to hear that some have good results. I have only heard negative and it really scares you. You start to question it. The vet from Hilton herbs does not recommend pergolydes in any instance. But as I say I am glad to hear from people that have had positive...

I read the info in the product out of a study on 177 horses some were lethargic some developed laminitis some died when I read that I took him right off it as he had gone thru two out of the three and there were more side effects the herbs I give him Hilton Herbs are from a vet in the UK they...

I will thank you. When I get this under control might rethink the pergolyde or do you think it's a bad idea. I just had terrible experience and every site I've been on someone has had a similar experience. Depression lethargy and it's amazing that the outer area of his sheath shrunk after coming...

He is on a strict diet of 4 cups triple crown senior this is for horses with Cushings as well senior is a very low starch, and his vitamins twice a day. He also has to be on hay cubes now which is a Timothy balance cube good for Cushings horses. I do turn him out to limited pasture, took him...

Ok starting this thread new to this forum but I have so many questions. Last December after a dental my horse coughed up blood this was a week later. Not a little blood but a lot. After two ultrasounds and antibiotics and scoped he had lesions healing in his throat but was diagnosed with...
