Check out the Yahoo group at: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/COPD_HEAVES/ My curly was on dexamethasone for about 10 years before I discovered this group. I am following their recommended protocol for MSM and blue green algae (I am using E3AFA for horses and it is expensive but goes a very long way). I was able to take him off the dexamethasone. I always soak hay for at least one hour and 2 hours is better. It will get the dust out of the hay which is a major irritant and trigger. I put it in bags, so that it is not picking up dirt or dust after that. I recommend Nibblenet slow feeder hay bags by Thin Air Canvas, and I recommend the smallest mesh if you are feeding grass hay. They have a bag that flips from 1 1/2 inch on one side to 1 inch on the other side. You can get them used to the bag with the 1 1/2 inch side and then use the 1 inch. The two inch is too big for a grass hay in my opinion. Good luck, and I really recommend the Yahoo Group. The administrator is very helpful.
