Lynn......how about trying a syringe of apple sauce (get a really sweet
brand) and some grain pieces mixed in? Use a syringe......she won't have a
choice. Then, after she takes the meds.....give her hand treats like carrot
or whatever she likes.
Sorry to hear she is ill. Linda Baker Lottie in WI

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]><br>><br>>My fjord recently was
diagnosed w/ Lyme disease, fortunately her <br>>only symptom has been
shelly feet (an astute horsewoman suggested I <br>>have a Lyme titer
drawn after I mentioned that she couldn't keep <br>>shoes on for more
than 4-5 weeks). All 4 hooves just suddenly went <br>>terrible,
chipping, etc., though I do feed a hoof supplement and <br>>apply hoof
conditioners. Sure enough, the test came back strongly <br>>positive, 1
to 5000.<br>><br>>I need suggestions on ways to hide the tetracycline
powder in some <br>>tasty treat so Trina will eat it. She is being very
stubborn and is <br>>convinced we are trying to poison her. I have tried
mixing it with:<br>>grain<br>>grain and molassess<br>>grain and
honey<br>>dengie<br>>dengie and sweet feed<br>><br>>The dengie
and dengie/sweet feed combination works for a few <br>>mouthfuls, but
then she must get a taste of the antibiotic and turns <br>>up her
nose.<br>><br>>The entire process is further complicated in that Trina
is normally <br>>turned out 24/7 with 2 other horses, so must be brought
into a stall <br>>to be medicated. Leaving her cooped up hoping she'll
get bored and <br>>eat the stuff is a bit taxing, and could take hours.
She needs the <br>>medication twice a day for a month, so it would be
nice to find <br>>something she will scarf down! I'm thinking of pouring
a can of beer <br>>in the feedtub next!<br>><br>>Help!<br>>Lynn
