My gelding is a tick magnet, and Lyme Disease
is a real problem around here. I asked my vet about feeding powdered
garlic, and he said to give it a try, that it seems to work for some
horses and not others.
Well, it worked for my guy. I used to
find multiple ticks on the tip of his tailbone and golf-balls sized
lumps (dripping blood and pus) near the groin. Now I might find
one tick on him per year!
Started out feeding garlic from Springtime but
later switched to ABC's garlic, and I give
him one tablespoon at each of his two daily meals. He would sift
it out of his sweetfeed, but adding wetted beetpulp took care of that
problem.
