Hi all, Im hoping to find someone near Louisburg kansas or drexel missouri that would be willing to help me give my mini a ride to her new location. As you know from before the city I live in now wont allow her to be here anymore - I have 5 days left to get her to a new place. Im also in the...

Have any of you had a mini against city animal codes?? Anyone ever had to fight them?? Any suggestions for me?? Someone recently reported my mini to the city, and now Im facing a big fight to keep her. I know it is a long shot but since she is only 28" and nearly the same size as my dogs, I...

With the warming temps here, the snow is melting and causing extremley slick muddy conditions..... and of course Ellie gets in her mood to play with the dog and begins running at full speed all over the place. She wiped out once and took a pretty good fall, but got right back up and started all...

Help please! What does beet pulp do? why is it needed, or is it needed? Where do you buy it?

Good morning everyone! Im glad to say that seems Ellie is fully recoved from her colic early last week. She seems to be mostly like herself again now which is good, and passing plenty of poops with no mucus. My worries continue though about this purply color to her gums that doesnt seem to be...

Well, Ellie made it through the night. She took another small poop, but it contained long strings of what looks like intestinal lining which leaves me wondering if this is normal after colic? She also still has the purple color to parts of her gums....I've searched all over the internet to find...

Hi all, Im hoping you will help me understand colic a little better. Ellie coliced on me this afternoon - I called the vet, he came out and did what he could for her , but was worried because her gums were purply in color and thought there might be something else going on with her as well. I...

Hi all, I was reading another posting where listerine was mentioned for itching and other skin problems.....what other things does listerine help with? Do you use it full strength? Ellie as I have mentioned before is very itchy...now shes full of dandruff and skin knots as her winter coat is...

Do you think it is too cold to bathe my mini today.....its supposed to be 64 degrees today. I got some medicated shampoo to try on her to help with her itchy itchies and her heavy dandruff, but I dont want to do it if its too cold. I dont have a sheltered area to bathe her. What do ya think??

My Ellie showed up with a snotty left nostril this afternoon...its kind of pussy yellowish green in color - Could this just be from our first night in the 30's, or should I watch for sickness. We have no other horses or mini's, so not much I can think of that she would catch. What do you...

Hi all, Ive been using wood shavings in my stall, but am wondering if the pine shavings eveyone refers to using are the same as the pine shavings sold at Walmart , or are they a different kind of pine? It would be cheaper to buy them at walmart for me verses the horse store. Thanks for your...

First off, thankyou for all your suggestions! I will try to feed her less, or maybe in a large bucket off the ground......I do think the real problem is that I just cant find any real good quality hay where I live. (Overland Park, Kansas) Im in the city for another year or so....and horses and...

Another question for everyone today......(thanks for all your info many times before too!) My little Ellie must waste half of every bale of hay we go through...draggging it out of the hay bag, getting it all over, and refuses to eat what is left on the ground/floor. Is there a solution to this...

Good morning everyone.....I was wondering if it is possible to see worms/parasites BEFORE or AFTER worming? I always look but never really see anything. Also, after worming, does it sometimes cause looser stools? Thanks for your help!
