oppsie??????

I gave the small and hairy pony 5 pirotans this morning as they can help with itching a bit. I was dead impressed with him this evening - came in and stood quietly without any itching. Person who has been riding him got on and was going happily - he did a bit of a wiggle sideways which caught them unawares and off they came. Usually he would either stand still or head for the gate if this happens. Tonight he did a beserk rodeo! Gallping around the area bucking and turning, only stopping briefly to eat the tree and some grass. The only way I could catch him was to wave a bucket about.

In some ways it was funny but in others I was bloomin annoyed. The only thing I can put it down to was the pirotan. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? He is on top spec calmer and a multi vitamin supplement.

Never used it but if I'd have known it had that sort of result I would have used it years ago!!

A 16.2hh on my yard also get's Piriton..(assuming you are talking about the anti-histamines?) his dose is only 3 tablets...so if you gave your smaller pony 5 tablets..... you have over-dosed him. so maybe this is why he did a benny on your rider?! Oops indeed!!!

hmmmm - I will definatly talk to the vet - someone I know uses it and told me they based their dose on a person who gives a 14.2 8 tablets a day!!!!!

Just shows how stupid I am sometimes

Why does your pony need it? If that's not a silly question?

Hes got mild sweetitch and I would like to take his Boet off now and repair it but there are still a few midges about.

you can buy Benzyl "Benzoate" something like that...tis the stuff used for the treatment of Scabies and headlice in humans from chemists, for sweet itch. works really well!! just dab it on the sore patches, and anywhere he gets it! (but don't tell the shop why you want it, they can withhold the sale of it..) think you'll find this better than Piriton!
