This message is from: "jerrell friz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If this were my mare, in addition to the tests that were done I would get a blood test [ ELISA TEST ] for Tapeworms............. I always, ask the question....when was the last time you wormed for tapeworms? and what did you use? A recent study of horses in the East, showed 80 percent with tape worms. Regards, Jerrell Friz, Anderson, Ca.
PS. The VS illness is bad stuff, a good friend of mine in Arizona, had her farm quarantined for over a month,[about 2 months ago] horses were in very good condition when they became ill, they all pulled through okay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 8/17/2005 11:12:06 AM > Subject: Re: fjordhorse-digest V2005 #185 > > This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > In a message dated 8/17/2005 10:12:12 AM Pacific Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > I currently have a mare that has not shed out this year.
