Hi Debby: Please talk to Riva's Remedies up in BC, Canada before you give up. I have had great luck on everything that she has help me with. I run into a horse that lost all her hair and the owner just let her suffer and Maraika(horseremedies or Riva's Remedes) asked me to send her a picture of the poor mare that the people had just let the horse go without hair, well after two weeks of stuff that she recommended for the mare she is just great. If you would like before and after pictures. I would be happy to send them to any one that would like to see them.
