I'm hoping it will get here quickly. I used to keep all of my fatties on it but I got complacent.Andrea -Mustang Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576342393431178404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-44143112852936050722010-08-22T23:51:48.691-07:002010-08-22T23:51:48.691-07:00We have a supplement here in Oz that is called Fou...We have a supplement here in Oz that is called Founder guard. My sis uses it for their cresty pony. Might be worth seeing if you can get it locally and feed it to Bella to help avoid future attacks. It is so hard managing these insulin resistant types unless you live on a bare property year round.T.L.

Keeping fingers crossed for you.<br /><br />My mare Maisie has had two laminitis attacks, both times without rotation, thankfully. She tends to gain weight easily, and to be cresty. I've got a grazing muzzle for her and we're beginning to try that out. She's also on a supplement designed for insulin resistant horses - chromium, magnesium, selenium (this might not be needed in your part of the country - we're selenium-deficient here) and vitamin E. It's made a difference, but I need to watch her weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-84191672281305679882010-08-21T14:40:10.569-07:002010-08-21T14:40:10.569-07:00Thank goodness you caught the laminitis early.
A ...Thank goodness you caught the laminitis early.<br /><br />A suggestion though - when a horse has such a large infestation of worms, my vet recommends deworming with a daily (strongid 2cx) for a month before deworming with paste (I use Ivermectin) and then continuing with the daily. That way the worms are killed off slowly so they don't all die at the same time and cause problems.<br /><br />I love daily dewormer. It works to keep the parasite load under control and I don't have to remember to give it every other month. I only use it from breakup to freezeup but deworm with paste every other month all year long.AKPonyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969589711581884433noreply@blogger.com
