We are not that desperate yet. Fresh caught pan fish, but I have to omit
we will pick up a fresh road killed deer on occasion if not too badly
destroyed & the right time of the year.

Even though we are in the mountains there is sand everywhere in AZ. When we
first moved here with our two Fjords from the Pacific Northwest I have
learned to make things safer. Like mentioned about the orange Metamucil mix

Hi,
I saved this from the "List" a few years ago since we too live in sand
country. Try Orange Sugar Free Metamucil or the cheaper version Equate
from Wally World. 1/4 cup twice per day mixed dry in his food and
provide plenty of fresh water for drinking.

Hi Robin,
I have lived in the California desert with my Fjords for many years in a VERY
sandy environment. I feed psyllium religiously to prevent sand colic. I have
tried various kinds of psyllium products over the years, but have settled on a

All of our vets use this procedure for testing feces. They take a plastic
exam glove (the transparent ones). They put a ball of feces in the glove,
add water, and then tie off the glove at the "wrist end". Shake, and then

A method of "measuring" whether there is too much sand in a horse was
mentioned, and I feel it deserves some more discussion.
Ask your veterinarian for some plastic sleeves (the kind he/she palpates
with). Put one on and grab a BIG handful of one horse's f

Hi all -
Just a note to say that my previous [beloved] vet stopped using Psyllium.
Said recent studies showed no benefit over using nothing at all. So now we
just test "apples" in water in a rubber glove to check for sand. Preventio

Steve, I am sure the sand blast is like Vit C. You give it before the onset
of trouble not when they colic. I give it every three to four months and
maybe it does no good but the big boy does not have "lie downs" and so I

Jean,
Right, it does swell and makes one heck of a gooey mess. For a time we
would use it in certain cases of colic. We would take about two cups
full of it and mix with 1-2 gallons of water and drench it with a stomach
tube. You had to get it down them

Steve White, re sand blast, the amount given is a cupful twice a day. It
will swell to at least another two cup fulls as I understand, in the gut.

Marsha,
I'm glad you spoke up about psyllium being a waste of money. I was
waiting to see what all the different opinions were on this product.
Controlled studies have shown that adding psyllium to the diet does not
prevent or cure sand colic. H
