Tick Control
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone used EquiSpot for tick control? We have had so many cases of Lyme disease around here - (Southern New Hampshire) and this year is supposed to be the worst. A friend mentioned EquiSpot - like the Frontline one puts on dogs for tick control with her horses. Anyone try it?

EPSM Diet
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi - does anyone on the list has a confirmed EPSM horse? I am curious as to what other people are feeding their horses with EPSM. Sonnie (18 year old Fjord Gelding) was confirmed about 6-7 years ago with a muscle biopsy sent to Dr. Valentine. He is on the oil and alfalfa pellet diet along with supplements. Does anyone else feed their horses alfalfa pellets? Thanks - Nancy in NH The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

OT - Medical Question
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sonnie - our 18 year old Fjord gelding started bleeding after urination about 6 weeks ago. We had him scoped and had a biopsy done twice - the most recent results came back as Hyperplasia - its located about 75-80cm proximal to the urethral opening. The bladder appears to be normal. We put him on Piroxicam for 30 days. He has been on the Piroxicam for 10 days and is still bleeding after urination. The biopsy results came back as Hyperplasia. He doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all - still eats well etc... Has anyone else had this type of problem? Anyone use the drug Piroxicam before? Also, what do people use to boost their horses immune system? Thanks - Nancy in Nottingham, NH The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Quest Dewormer
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for all the responses - So if you don't use Quest, is there a dewormer that you use instead?

EPSM diet and BOSS
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kelly MacDonald wrote: For the EPSM horse who needs the truly high fat diet, some of them do much better on more natural sources of fat, even when those sources (boss, rice bran), bring the total dietary fat below the 20%+ fat that the more severe EPSM'ers have been deemed to need. Corn oil is more fat - - it's 100% fat vs 35 to 40% for BOSS and rice bran and it weights more per volume measure (i.e. cup), so it delivers more calories per volume. However, it's not just calories we're interested in when we're adding fat, although that's a big reason. The nutritional value of BOSS is so much better than oil. I have 1 Fjord that has EPSM and have tried to keep up with any new info on EPSM and diets. I had never heard that BOSS would help an EPSM horse/pony. I emailed Dr. Beth Valentine who has been working with EPSM horses for years, including helping us with Sonnie. Thought that someone out there that is dealing with an EPSM horse would be interested in her reply: The black oil sunflower seeds contain up to about 40% fat, so they are good for horses that won't take in enough fat from oils. I wouldn't recommend them for a horse that eats other fat sources well, though, just be cause we aren't entirely sure how effectively sunflower seeds are digested by horses (at least, I haven't seen a study of it yet). There's nothing else in the sunflower that I know of that is good for EPSM. I think I'd stick with your current diet! Thanks Kelly for bringing this up - interesting! My Fjord does ok on alfalfa pellets, beet pulp and corn oil plus supplements. This is the diet that Dr. Valentine told us about years ago!
