Re: Tail Chewing

["superpat" <superpat@gateway.net>]

This may be rather drastic as a preventative but I have seen muzzles
advertised in the various catalogs and some specifically say that the horse
can eat and drink with them on. I once spoke with someone who used it
because her horse was on turnout and she feared founder in the spring.
Perhaps someone has had first hand experience with this?

Our donkey is teething, and is completely chewing off and eating the tails
of the horses.  She has even started on the manes she can reach.  We have
treated the tails with bitter apple, "hot" flavored preparations, Cut &
Heal, and every anti-chewing preparation we can think of.  There are no open
paddocks into which we can move her.  Any helpful ideas, anyone?  Thanks so
much.
