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...

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...

I am at a loss of what or how to even search for this item on the web. Bear with me, my sweet 10 year old is an awesome kid, but unique, to say the least. Where he comes up with this stuff, I do not know. Well, on his very short list for Christmas this year, he has written " a long coat ( the...

Odd question, I know. Wingnut's gelding post made me think about it. I have always taken it a first nature that when there is an emergency visit, gelding procedure, or whatever, I just help out. Have the clean bucket of water on hand, prep the area with garbage can, a makeshift seat for the vet...

I have never heard of this product until yesterday. I was so impressed when the vet tending to my impacted horse offered some to him (resolving impaction, is being monitored, will hopefully come home tomorrow). I went to see him and was told it was fine to hand graze him for ten minutes, and I...

Well forum family, I could use some good thoughts and prayers sent this way. Yesterday around 5-6 in the evening I looked at my big horse gelding and knew immediately he was off. Thinking it was gas colic, I Walked him, took him for a trailer ride, he passed some manure, passed some more in his...

We live in a multigenerational household. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for us. My mother dearly missed out black lab that passed away in March at 14 years of age. It really hit her hard when Summer hit and she did not have her companion at her feet in the flower beds or to take a swim...

Hi all. This isn't mini related, but none the less, I was wondering how long you all allow your horse to rest if they have a bruises sole or heel bulb. I found no other reason for my BH slight discomfort,she has the occasional off step on her right front limb. If she is in the stall or on soft...

Please excuse me for the venting, but how do you all handle non animal family members? My brother's new wife does not like his dogs, just not an animal lover, but likes to say stuff like, OMG, I want to steal your cat. She is the sweetest cat i have ever seen. My thoughts, which I keep to...

Okay, so,out of our two mini Aussies, mini as in just over the toy size, one has a shorter coat, the other has a fuller coat. The finer, shorter coated one gets a quick butt clip and I may trim the longer belly hairs on occasion, as well as clip her nails. The other I was considering taking to...

So after making little monsters of my husbands co workers by sending them home baked goods, and getting a ton of feedback from the parents at my sons olympic day at school.........it seems my homemade cannoli are a big hit. They are the super smooth yummy ones made with marscapone cheese, and...

I know I was on here last year when our 1 year old mini Aussie had severe flare ups. After getting nowhere with the local vet, whom is fine for vaccines, routine visits, and end of life decisions, $700-800 later, it was apparent that Zoey's issues were beyond their scope of care, not to mention...

From a previous thread, I had been asked to post when I went to TSC to list the algea aid for stock tanks. It is called stock tank secret and it is a small burlap bag with barley straw in it. They have a website, just google stock tank secret for info on the product and how it works.

My brother, his new (3rd) wife and his two step kids are visiting. I am happy he loves her but ugggg.... She is not someone I would hit it off with if we ran into each other on the street. She is constantly complaining about our dogs, doesn't get animals at all, commented how she gave away her...

I had a sobering reminder this morning that, as many of you already know, we must stop to smell the flowers and enjoy life. After several days of steady decline, we have come to the conclusion that we will have to put our lab down today. I knew it was coming, he is fourteen. This morning I told...

So, looking at MAYBE adding a bird to the family come summer. I have had parakeets, finches, and lovebirds in the distant past. I was thinking more along the lines of a conure or African grey. Lorikeets are lovely but their almost all liquid diet leading to an all liquid bm is a major messy...

So I went to a yearly equine event, and for the second year in a row, I looked at the horses that were ambassadors for different farms. There were gypsy vanners there. Love checking out the breed, eventhough I have two, it gives one a good sense what I do and don't like in body style. Well for...

I have had a lot of gelding procedures done, gelded all the boys that left here when I was breeding, even my senior stallion when I stopped breeding, but I don't ever recall gelding when it was cold out. It is time for my gypsy vanner colt to be gelded and was wondering if any of you have ever...

I hope it is permitted. There are two, three year old great pyraneese up for rehoming. I know many mini owners love to have them around to alert them of things that go bump in the night. I thought this may be a great chance for them to get a new home. I am finding out their exact location and...
