[RC] EPM/choking? - rides2far@xxxxxxxxTrying again on the EPM question. We've researched EPM. Difficulty swallowing was one symptom, uncoordination on hills was another. My student's horse has both. Her vet wants to scope the horse which has choked 5 times. Seems that a problem in the throat would not account for the uncoordination. Wouldn't the scoping be a waste of money? This is a kid whose *really* having to pay her own way but it's her pet so I want to help her avoid unnecessary costs. I know a spinal tap is the diagnosis tool, but that many horses who aren't sick are positive on that so is it worth the money? The article we read listed a 28 day oral gel treatment. Anybody know what that runs? Angie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!
