Hi, sorry I only post here occaisionally that dang work thing has it so I don't have much spare time. I know there a whole bunch of very knowledgeable people here, was wondering about this mare. Actually have an older mare (12 ) that has been cribbing forever (we have adjusted her diet to help, they tried a shock collar and in fact I believe damaged her flap in her throat, BAD thing, I feel bad, so when we got her, she was coughing and had trouble breathing. I accidently discovered that putting a throat latch sweat on, stops the coughing and improved her breathing, so she actually runs and plays, so figure the shock collar got turned around and burnt shocked her neck til it damaged the muscles around her flap-owners said this happened one night, can you imagine??...... anyways, the throat latch just about cures the throat/breathing problems, and aside from diet, I let her crib)
Sorry for rambling anyways, SHE stands with right back leg WAY back, especially when cribbing. I have noticed recently NOW a 3 year old half sister, has started standing in her stall with right back leg WAY back, I mean stretched way back. ANd the left hind right under her tummy. She moves well, hasnt been colicy, and doesnt crib, but am afraid that MAYBE this is a sign of ulcer-trying to get the pain to be better....... anyone have any ideas?
