RE: [RC] Re. calcitonin - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.Susan..Is it possible to have an inbalance of Ca (high) due to hard well water enough to cause tie ups in a horse already prone to tie up? I have a horse who has always been prone to tie up on well water but not on soft water. Patty I suppose it's possible, but boy, that would have to be some seriously hard water, ie liquid concrete. Since there's a fair amount of salt used in softening water, I wonder if the issue at hand isn't really an electrolyte deficiency. In other words, the tying up goes away when your horse is getting more salt? Might be worth supplementing some more elytes and see if that does the trick?
