Woooooohoooooooooo, Marty!!! Congratulations to all of you!!! I was in a 4 day staff meeting and just now am checking in. The picture of Jerry is SO sweet. Isn't it funny how a tiny little horse can bring this out in men? Here's to many happy years with Tiny Tim! Liz V.

My colt had diarrhea for almost 6 weeks. I tried everything. I finally put him on psyllium - 1 tbsp a day and in a few days he was normal. Kept him on it for a couple of weeks and he's been fine. Not sure if he had sand or the psyllium absorbed water. Had a mare who had it for a year! Finally...

You might want to consider not breeding them anymore. And you can be really picky who you sell to individually. Liz V.

Do you know if either her dam or sire is LWO? The filly is very pretty! Liz V.

Well, I'll probably get "looks" for my treatment. I had a paint gelding that got abcesses quite a bit. I like to use holistic stuff as much as possible. I give a homeopathic remedy that brings it out within 1-2 days. (Usually only one if the horse is REALLY lame). And I would soak 2 times a...

Rae, Sounds like you are doing a great job! I have mares that will test me like this once in a while. Sometimes they just don't want to be caught or maybe something stung him. I find that horses really can do strange things Did the vet check to really make sure he is deaf? I definately...

You can have the vet check to make sure he is deaf. I wouldn't leave a halter on him unless you are with him. If he got caught on something, that would be worse than never being able to catch him. Can you put him in a small pen to make it easy to catch him? He will come around. It just takes...

Marty, Why are you pouring the feed into Holly? Why does anyone feed their mares for 2? I never change the feed of my broodmares, except that I start adding a tiny bit more alfalfa in the last month, to get them ready for the increase I give a week or so after foaling. I keep reading that...

Yeah, Vicky!!! This is GREAT news!!! Yep, this happened to my mare. She came to me with diarrhea which she supposedly did not have when she left her old home. ( I believe that) She must have picked up something on the long journey. Anyways after a YEAR of diarrhea, and trying lots of things...

Check the baby's temp. Sending you lots of positive thoughts. Liz V.

Here's my thinking (watch out ). Could it be that it's bloodlines and the animals just happen to be white because of the genetic bloodline? Why are some people born deaf. Are only "white" people deaf? Or is it a genetic defect, like hip dysplasia or PRA, etc? Okay, back to my thinking to see...

YEP! Give her some exercise.

Vicky, I know your worry and frustration. I would get some psyllium in him. I like to use the straight stuff from the health food store. Sometimes it takes a while for them to get used to the taste. So start with a tiny bit and work up. I had a filly one year who had diarrhea bad. All over the...

I have been dealing with foal diarrhea also. Two things help, Bio Sponge and psyllium. The Bio Sponge is a pain because I have to give it myself and you have to syringe it. But it does help. I have also found the psyllium works also. So, I just give about a TBSP each night with a couple mushy...

I would contact the show secretary. Here in the states, if you travel through states, some require a negative coggins and health certificate (rip off and stupid) at some borders. Not sure if the show themselves do. As for vaccines, here in the states, I don't think anything is REQUIRED to show...

And no, we haven't tried alfalfa of any kind although I've considered it. Our horses have been on straight grass hay for years because everything we've read said that was better for them, especially as they got old, but maybe it's time to reconsider or at least ask a vet. Good to hear Spyder is...

Danielle, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I have been following your threads with such excitment for you. Good to hear that mama is doing okay. Hugs, Liz V.

I had a mare abort at 63 days. She was hand bred so I know the exact dates. The night before she acted colicky. We gave her banamine. When she was examined the vet said colic but I said it looked like she was in labor. She had normal poops, etc, but was acting painful. She looked to be...

Kim, You need a prescription for it. Ask your vet. And I don't remember the dose. Seems it was 500mg 2 x a day. Liz V.

I'm wondering if the psyllium helps absorb some of the water so it helps form solid stool. Kim, did you ever try Metronidizole(sp) ? It might be worth the try. It's also called Flagyl (sp). Liz V.
