Hello
Has anyone taken the route of Depo provera for their mares in season? And if so, could you please tell me your thoughts on it to alleviate the hormonal effects on your mare and her season!?
My loan mare has very odd behaviour when in season, and really seems to suffer with them. She mouths a lot, and is very foal like, turns very submissive and generally struggles for a few days to function properly. We have discussed it with the vet, and she said her behaviour is very extreme and quite rare, but some of the symptoms she has are normal, just rather exaggerated. She also suggested various options to take, including the supplements, the marble and Depo provera.
I've tried her with agnus castus, no change over two months (6 seasons in that time). Seeing as that is the main ingredient for most of the branded makes, we haven't tried any of them.
So, depo provera- how did it work for your mare?
Were there any side effects?
Did her behaviour change much and how?
Costs??
Thanks
Eta- ReguMate not an option, funding doesn't extend that far
