RE: [RC] Shadows' tieup, now Ray's anemia & red maples - shermanYes, I frequently look at the toxic plants list, to be aware of them. The reason red maples popped up is that it does cause anemia, often death, and Ray has severe anemia which is not improving. He has red maple trees outside his pasture and was seen taking a bite. Although not wilted, I wondered if red maple could cause some problems even if not wilted. Kathy Red maple leaves, if fallen on the ground are very toxic,(wilting). But many other plants can cause some \toxicity if ingested too much. Wild cherry and plum too. We had a friend, who had siniliar symptoms and his horse was eating wild plum in the pasture. Too many acorns or other nuts can cause some problems. Certain weeds.... Azelas, olanders, yews, Rhododendrom.... Black Walnut is really nasty. Usually the horses won't eat poisionous stuff-- but some horses don't catch on.... And some things are only a problem is they eat too much of it...... _________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
