I have been very impressed with Silver Lining Herbs. Outstanding quality. This is one supplement to help the body cope with inflammation. They have many others available if you go to their website. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=961167 d8-55 b2-4898-a20 f-7 aed6 aa6 bbce&sfb=1&itemguid=ab053 c90-506 a-4792-bc57-8705891 f37 d0&utm_content=42309&ccd=IFH003&CAWELAID=120295250000092693&CATARGETID=120295250000428820&cadevice=m&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsqLSBRCmARIsAL4Pa9RUaFUaIgp6KicTaJr8VDuplwfo9VKaxVx4 joH-6 bw1 hsc-GXAAA6 oaAk1XEALw_wcB

Laura P. replied:
Cornerstone. Animal Clinic in Dickson TN. Head vet Mark Brannon, was an AERC ride vet for a few seasons. He really knows his soundness exams. 1110 hwy 70, Dickson TN, 37055. (615)446-9071 Where in Nashville is this horse? Sellers name? Heck, I might know them:)
Jackie C. replied:

Does anyone have a good vet for prepurchase near Lincoln, CA.
Theresa R. replied:
Loomis Basin Vet
Nicole C. replied:
Dr Karen Hassan is in Lincoln +1 (916) 742-2657. Great soundness and legs evaluation vet
Teresa S. replied:
Loomis Basin is only as good as the vet you happen to get, and they have many. If you plan on calling there, I'd recommend requesting Bob Morgan or Langdon Fielding - both have great reputations.
OAT FIBER? Anyone using Succeed supplement for gut health? It is so expensive but I think I would like to use it on my horse. He had Corona Virus which has left him with...
Misha G. replied:
Equine Choice Gen 2 is very similar to Succeed.
Valerie E. replied:
I think Total Equine is a complete feed, how much do you feed? Succeed is just an ounce or two.Succeed is meant to readjust the lining in the hind gut from ulcers. It is very different than just a balanced complete senior feed or even a probiotic supplement. So I don't think they are comparable. Thanks though. Marge Mabey.
Valerie E. replied:
Kathy Sherman I read that whole oats contain too much starch which could change the acidity of the gut you are working so hard to heal. Oat flour also has a bit more starch so Oat bran is supposed to be the best choice. Oat bran is easy to come by at Bob's Red Mill which is local to us, and nation wide by mail. You can also get fresh ground flax seed in bulk, kept cold at the store.

Amber W. replied:
No useful advice from me, however, I look to Dr Kellon frequently for research and advice and diet balancing. This is a good article. I would recommend reading her articles and contacting her. She is a nutrition guru and is evidence based. This is a tricky disorder. This talks about EPSM, PSSM, EPSSM. Sounds like you are on track, but perhaps trying micronized linseed or COPRA as suggested maybe more palatable? http://forageplustalk.co.uk/epsm-muscle-disorder-by-dr-kellon-vmd/

Progressive Envision is the best fat supplement I have ever used.

Hiccups, or Thumps, is an automatic "Vet Out" at rides in Australia. Usually means a calcium deficiency of some kind.
Hi, has anyone had any experience w IRAP to the front fetlocks . My horse is sound, vet recs as a preventative. Thanks!
Troy E. replied:
Had it done at Creekside Veterinary in Valley Center. Yes I would do it again. I had this treatment done to Ana four years ago and she had 100% recovery. Oddly enough I had taken her there on my way to Tevis to have her checked. The ligament that was treated 4 years ago was perfect. But we found these other issues so I opted to treat her and forego Tevis.
