[RC] chronic laminitis and ulcers - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Angie angie24@xxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I had a similar situation a few years ago. We too considered euthanasia because 
of chronic, severe eposides.  In my case, MSM seemed to be the magic cure.  I 
discovered it by accident - it was an ingredient in a hoof supplement that my 
farrier recommended.  I can't explain why it worked, but ever since I 
supplemented my horse's feed with it, his symptoms cleared quickly and he never 
had another episode - even 4 years later.  MSM is banned in megadoses so you 
wouldn't be able to use it while competing.  Unfortunately, my horse rotated - 
his career was over anyway.  I don't know if this will work for you, but I 
mention it in case you'd like to consider it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.  Watching a horse in that kind of pain is 
unbearable.
