Epithitis?
Jo Whitlow Raymond.Jo@worldnet.att.net
A friend of mine has a 1 y/o 1/2 mustang 1/2 appy filly with early stages of epithitis and mod to severe upright fetlocks. Her knees feel like "orange peel". Nutritional hx: From weaning at 5 mos.=freechoice valley grass hay, 1# developmental LMF/day &1/2 C. soybean meal. In late Jan. she was "diagnosed" and put on 1 TBSP. MSM 2x day + free choice hay + super supplemental G-LMF. By middle of April, disease progressing, so put on 1/2 dose horse guard and no LMF. Currently on freechoice hay and MSM only. No lameness at this time, but no improvement either. Activity HX: Birth to 5 mos, paddock + limited pasture. Last 6 mos. large in door arena with occasional turnouts. My friend is very concerned and would appreciate any educational input. Her next step is OSU. Thank you. Jo.
