Becky:
<< He gets Omelene 200, beet pulp, fresh water and pasture.
I started feeding the beet pulp about 2 months ago, with wonderful results
>> and wonder if that was a factor.
What does this horse weigh? How much (lbs) total ration daily?
>>We have a cardiac rehab/nutritionist specialist where I work and (consider
human Vs horse) he thought possible the beet pulp provided so much more
fuel then he was used to, that his muscles were unable to keep up with the
toxic buildup. >>
Ask nutritionist what toxins in muscles is he talking about.
>>I know this is the normal process for muscles to fatigue,
but he suggested that it was a problem because the horse had so much more
fuel than he normally had available and over time, the body would learn to
deal with it., and to be careful and use a very long cool-down. >>
Here's what I think happened: he tied up. he tied up because of too much of a
taper during the last two weeks along with a high carb diet during that time.
A test for muscle enzymes might still give you a clue--high SGOTs could be
present as long as a week later.
