Will this link open for you without being a member of the group? I don't know how this stuff works:)
Becky
I had to log in but I did, and can follow it now... I joined the group once a long time ago... to ask about Isoxuprine being allowed or not... remember?
Oh, OK. No I don't remember you asking that there. Maybe it was before I figured out how to join myself. Took me awhile:) What did they tell you about the Isoxuprine?
Becky
That it wasn't allowed. :~)
You were a member... it was at your suggestion that I asked there> Even though it's not my region, they had the most active group.
RE calling in the prescription... Vet's voicemail said he was in surgery all day today and unavailable. could just be he's too busy to get to it.
OK, I'll ask them to hold the order until we can get hold of the vet.
Heh... the pony was still trying to reach over the temp fence, like it wasn't hitting her very hard, so I went out with some more tape and wrapped all the connections so I KNOW it's getting a good contact. NOW it's hitting her. NOW she's REALLY mad :~D
I also fed some hay... they weren't easily finding enough out there, hence the pony's behavior. The idle mind is the devil's playground!
The other day, I noticed in the corner that there was a new wood support up. It looks like a gate. A mare was backed up to it and scratching her butt real good. Right in the same place that Sarah Lee broke down.
What do you mean 'broke down'?
That place on her hip/backside where the skin broke down. She still runs:')
Oh. It might be a rub, certainly.
I had Sarah Lee tied up to a 4x4 the other Day. She started chewing on it. I told her to quit and pushed her away and she didn't try it again while I was watching but how do you stop cribbing from happening? I've never noticed her doing this before.
Horses Rub. People breakdown. Got it:')
Well, horses can break down too, I was just not clear what you were alluding to. :~D
That patch on her certainly could be a rub. It's kindof an odd spot to rub, more commonly, they rub their tail out tryin' to itch their privates... but maybe she had an insect bite there that itched. Then once she injured the skin, it probably itched more. It's kindof a self-fulfilling prophecy sometimes, when they rub.
You got RFD TV?! All right!!! Lots of good stuff on that channel.
I just realized how funny that sounded, I mean bloomers that go to your ankles, like the old timey swim costumes.
Chewing/eating wood is not the same as cribbing.
Cribbing is where they put their front teeth on and edge, and suck in air real hard.
Chewing/eating wood is just as bad a habit because they can eat the barn down:), but I don't think it will hurt the horse. Cribbing can kill them if they do it to much.
If your horse is cribbing there is a really good leather cribbing collar you can buy. It's called "Miracle Collar". It's will stop them dead, and stay in place unlike the metal ones. They are about $50, but they last forever. Rocky's old one was 10 years old.
