RE: [IceHorses] strangles
Hi Robyn this is just overkill! Robyn, what kind of homeopathic remedies do you use? I tried using one from the health food store--the little pellets. They don't dissolve very quickly and so the horse ended up spitting most of them out. Very frustrating! Are there homeopathics in a cream or liquid form that are easier than the pellets? I'm way behind on email. I do use the pellets and just open the bottom lip and put in 4 or 5 pellets, I also use the really tiny pellets and they just stick to the lip until they dissolve. I have also cut out a bit of the core or a carrot, stuffed some in and covered with carrot and fed them. A classical homoeopathist will say you shouldn't give food with homeopathy but I have found it still works and is easier to insure they are getting it.

Re: [IceHorses] Strangles
I have recently heard enough that I have asked him to order 8 doses for my 8 horses. I just hope that I do not make them sick. Renee - Please make sure you know the complete history of your horses and that they haven't had strangles or been exposed to it (sometimes after being exposed, they'll get a light case and it won't be noted that it is strangles) They can get a severe reaction from the shot if they've had it in the past. We had a horse boarding at a barn and the BO just decided to vacinate everyone in the barn for Starngles without mentioning it to the owners. Our Polish Warmblood had had strangles as a youngster and it was touch and go for awhile. needless to say we left that barn shortly thereafter.-- Laree

Hmm..Santana sure managed to! In they went and pleah pleah out they came again! I'm glad he has a talent for something. Robyn S.
