Hi My horse has suspected EPSM/PSSM and I have completely changed her diet, she now moves so much better, her attitude has changed, she has more staminia and looks great. I had the back woman out yesterday who said she is alot better aswell. She hasnt had a siezure in three months and the...

Hi all Well touch wood and all that she seems to be fine and not had another siezure. I was reading all about azortoria and came across something called PSSM and ESPM so I have changed her diet to nothing with sugar in. Unmolassed sugar beet, happy hoof and corn oil and vitamins and she is...

Went down to see her on Thursday this week and she looked really dull, I offered her a carrot and she had her head down and after the carrot she then staggered as if she had lost her balance, I called the vet out straight away and luckily he was five minutes away and came down to the field and...

Hi My mare was exactly the same in a barn where there were bars (even with boards or blankets covering the bars) until i moved her to a stable, she still pulled faces if anyone got too near her but her attitude changed completely, she likes her own space and not to be intimidated by others at...

It has only been this year that the siezures have been happening. She has hunted succesfully etc. Fingers crossed it can be sorted.

I have to agree with you I really feel that they have no idea. If all the lastest tests come back as normal i am going to get her referred to New Market after checking with the insurance company at least this way i may find out the long term prognosis.

Hi First time was after being ridden for five minutes, she had like a spasm ( thought heart attack) and my boyfriend jumped off. After a couple of minutes she was absolutely fine and he continued on a slow hour ride. The second time was a few months later at the end of a normal ride at the...

Hi Has anyone has any experience with their horse having epilepsy. Also what tests can the vet do to find out and is the long term good? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Yes im going to call the vet out straight away when it happens again and get her blood tested etc. Im also going to add salt to her feed. Watch this space. Thank you

Hi The first time it happened was early spring, five minutes into the ride and i had only been walking, thought it may have been spasms in her back (or some heart problem). The back specialist came and nothing reallywas wrong. The second time about a month later, was five minutes to home and...

Hi I am having a problem with my home bred mare who is now seven. She has had a well horse check with blood tests and nothing has been found abnormal. It first happened early this year five minutes into a ride, i dismounted thinking she was having a heart attack and then she recovered to...
