Make sure they are referring to a full blown founder case, not a horse with a touch of laminitis, many people use these terms as an interchangeable phrase. If it was a bit of tenderfootedness that was assumed to be founder but never diagnosed by a vet it could have been anything from a bad stone...

I don't know if it has been mentioned but yes, it sounds like ulcers and my biggest suggestion beyond the ulcergaurd is to skip the grain for now, offer her grass and soaked alfalfa cubes and a hay with a good alfalfa ratio in it. Beyond its bad rap for being rich it does amazing things for...

My mother made one last year, drove me crazy with it! Little concrete houses with moss and tiled roofs and schlecht fairies and no fairy village would be complete without a unicorn! It was cute, but she has a tendancy to not maintain things, so cute today becomes a down trodden mess tomorrow. On...

I am so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like life was all the sweeter for both of you (and your family) when you found each other. Treasure knowing he had a great life with you, better than many.

Of course any decision will be made with my vets, max's mom, you hit the nail on the head. I have to give my vets an update, and I am willing to go forward with the meds for awhile longer, but I just needed to hear from others on the matter. Guessing I just needed that reassurance that I am not...

Sounds like you guys understand and know where I am going with this....I just needed to know what is a realistic timeframe to give the meds to do their job. Thanks for understanding and not being judgmental.

I am not looking for any miracle cures and in all honesty, I am not going to put endless funds into a horse that isn't responding favorably to treatment, just wondering when you have all said "okay, enough". I am all for a horse that pulls through, heck, if there's a situation and they can...

Y'ep all great suggestions. Some oily coated dogs don't need foods with excessive omegas and oils, sometimes food allergy issues, anal glands and ears are huge smell factors. We had a lab with ear issues and skin issues, much of the skin problems subsided with changing to a better food, the...

Very exciting news for those that breed. I am just hoping that there are more responsible/honest individuals than not. There will always be individuals that will pawn of horses with applications that are not valid, bad bites, prior injuries, disposition issues that do not make them a good match...

Sorry for your loss. I still get teary eyed when I think of my mare I grew up with, she was 10 months when we go her, I was 9 yrs old. Had her for 23 years until she was put down due to cancer. Somehow certain horses hold a special place in our hearts.

I believe that our loved ones are so connected to us,or that someone was so connected to their life on earth that sometimes they linger. Sometimes they need to be told it is okay to go, we love them but there is so much more for them and they must move on. We cared for my aunt back from 98-2000...

I agree ulcers or prone to bouts of gastro enteritis. I also agree about a senior feed, doesn't have to be a senior horse, it is just easy on the stomach. I am a huge fan of soaked hay, soaked alfalfa or alfalfa Timothy cubes, probios and oil. I will hands down choose soaked hay cubes and soaked...

Liberty isn't only about the animation, it is also about the walk, trot and canter in both directions, the use of the majority of the ring, the catch at the end and even the presentation of song, horse and handler (put on a show, wear a costume, pick a song that suits the gates). It is about the...

OMG Mindy, that's awful, but funny. These will be 24-48 hours old when I get them, they should bond and hang around when they are put out as they get older. They were still pricey, but not too bad, just under $15 each, minimum of six, with a live delivery gaurantee. Shipping was free. Six was...

Coloring, cartoons and playing with my lil ponies, except they aren't so little, but I still like to braid their hair and talk to them (but I can't seem to find these ones in pink and purple with hearts and bubbles on their rumps)

We just ordered Half a dozen white call ducklings. A friend is splitting the order with me. I was wondering if they really do stay as small as they claim (18-22oz at maturity). We were going to get mallards, then the grey call ducks that look like mallards, but the thought of fluffy yellow...

Marsha, you were thinking the same as me, I was editing my post as you typed, LOL

Regardless of being proven or not, much is based on conformation, body type, pedigree.....if he is all you are looking for, $150 is more than fair. There were many on here when I was breeding who, for lack of better words, would say it wasn't even worth their unzipping their (the studs) fly for...

I can't tell you how sick and tired I am of this snow. My days off consist of plowing our driveway, the neighbors and anyone else out. Hauling hot water to the barn, soaking hay, hauling it up to the barn, trying to keep the house clean, did I mention plowing.......I go to work to get a break...
