Re: [RC] [RC] Hoo Supplements - kstandefer

Heidi - why would a horse's hooves remain poor condition 11 months after 
stopping this medication?  Does it do something to permanently damage the 
system?  This doesn't make sense to me.

  I''ll have to check into this one. Rascal had Marquis 1.4 times the dose
for 28 days. He did have a toe abcess at the end of treatment. I had pulled
his  shoes.  I put them back on when it healed. He hasn't had any notable
change in his feet since then. It has been 11 months.   I am going to check
with the  epm group, one of which is a farrier. There does seem to be a lot
of abcesses among the group when under treatment or right after, more than I
have ever heard of in a normal 'barn situation'.  I considered that
'unusual'.  He has always had really tough feet, never even a hairline crack
or chip.  So maybe the answer is elsewhere or an individual horse
sensitivity.

I'd be willing to bet that the toe cracks and lost shoes have very
little to do with the effects of EPM and more to do with the hoof being
balanced correctly front to back.


While you may well be right about hoof balance, just one small correction
here--it isn't the EPM that causes the shelly feet, it is the drugs used
to treat it.
