Regumate . When to start in mares cycle

[debsflo]

After some advice please.
My mare has ulcers returning and as she is very marish and displays difficult behaviour every 3 weeks we are trying a course of regumate to see if this makes any difference.
Vet advised i wait until she comes into season which she has and behavoiur worse,distracted super sharp and spooky normally combined with kicking stable walls and difficult on the ground.
How soon can i start Regumate?
A day or do i let her come out of season then start?
Also how quickly am i likely toi see a change if it works.
TIA.

If the vet said wait until she's in season - start now.

Wasnt sure if i need to let her finish her season though.

I'd give your vet a buzz in the morning to confirm.

Regumate has totally saved my sanity !! And believe it or not, whilst pricey, is cheaper than the gazillion 'hormone supplements' she was having (and not working). Hope you get the result you're after

Fingers crossed.She has been double barrelling the brick stable walls today so is going to injure herself,
Weve turned her out for now but at the end of my tether and bank balance. YO has suggested i discuss ovariectomy as well as her behaviour is extreme.

Really ? I too had considered that and even discussed it with the vet but I am just afraid to take away some of her 'zest' (not sure what to call it). We do dressage and she has real presence and i would be afraid to affect that permanently. So for now we're sticking with a Regumate. I don't like the stuff at all but it's totally turned my mare around and maybe one day we can come off it .

Vet advises Regumate first so keeping everything crossed.

Do people still do marbles? I have no idea. It used to be the suggested thing, but i have not heard of it in a while

I agree with this, it may be expensive stuff but not much more expensive then all the supplements I have tried over the past few years that did nothing at all!!
