Gawd, lami watch from here on in :-S

[sleepingdragon10]

Noticed today my pony has grass glands already He had an episode of lami last May after our fields were fertilised, so I am SO happy that his is being left alone this year!
He's been on a diet lately, and has lost alot of weight already, aswell as being in more work, so I'm hoping with careful management, that we'll be able to avoid the dreaded 'L' word this time round.

How many of you are on lami watch?

 

[Kellys Heroes]

Yep!
Lami prone girl just been diagnosed with Cushings.
She was always treated as a laminitic very strictly but had a seizure so we think it was stress lami last year.
She'll deff not be going out unmuzzled...

Aw, bless her. That's another thing I need, a muzzle for Naughty Pony! His paddock is practically bare, but he's already beginning to ignore his hay in favour of the grass that's starting to come through

Frankie's been coming in to be stabled during the day for the last 2 weeks, he's muzzled the rest of the time. It's a constant worry at the moment, hopefully one day I'll find the best management regime!!

Yes to an extent. Star has cushings and Be is a fatty, so although neither of them have had lami *touch wood* I am constantly on guard.

You and me both Dilbert. Every time I think I've got it right I start to doubt myself and then end up rethinking everything I'm doing

I've swapped Lukey from alfa a lite onto Spillers Cool Fibre, a)because it was suggested that the alfa a could be contributing to his naughtiness, and b) because he needed to lose alot of weight.
Hopefully you'll be able to avoid lami with both your girls Puppy. Is Be back in work now or is she still on the sick list?

I feed Be dengie good doer, but only 300gm per day, with Bailey's lo cal. She won't be coming back into work SD she is broken for good But we hope this year we shall be successful in getting her preggers and that we will be able to look forward to a mini Beans

 

[happyhack]

yup, Pony is on restricted grazing now as he came in a bit hot in the hoof last week.

My mare has never (AFAIK) had lami but she is the type so has been slimmed right down over the last few weeks before she went out onto the spring grazing today. She will be brought in during the day from now on.

Puppy, I'm sorry, I didn't realise
I'll send 'get preggers' vibes instead
