While we wait ;~D
Still no answer on the email I sent to the NATRC regarding Isoxoprene. Duchess... Isoxoprene is the name of the active ingredient drug itself. I don't think there are common substitutes, because it is the ~only~ treatment for navicular symptoms discussed on the web, besides bute for pain. I did all kinds of searching of "Isoxoprene" along with "banned" and "drugs" and "competition" and didn't find any returns that it is disallowed in other kinds of competitions. In fact, they speak of horses doing well and being able to continue performing in their sport (assumes it's allowed). But I didn't have luck finding any published lists of disallowed drugs.
what do you suggest? Should we just feed her hay and leave off the mare and foal feed?
We have been giving her a flake of hay and 4, 2llb coffee cans full of mare and foal feed a day. Is this right/wrong too much too little or any suggestions for changes appreciated!
I'll get hold of Celia, She talks to alot of people on NATR's e-mail discussion board. She will either know, or know how to get hold of someone, maybe quicker.
