Strongid C

Title: Strongid C

Heidi, I read your post about Strongid C.  I  just started giving Mujahli the daily ration about a month ago due to his inability to gain weight, and upon my vet's prescription.  I hadn't heard of this problem in endurance horses (and I doubt that he had, as well).  Do you or anyone have any info on the incidence of colic with endurance horses?  Mujahli has been getting B's at the hour vet-in but I attributed this to his lack of drinking and eating during the first 25 miles...usually it gets a little better toward the end, tho' he has not gotten an A on gut yet.  His metabolics seem to be good otherwise   Is the Strongid likely to exacerbate this tendancy?  I rode my first ride, the Mt Lassen Challenge, since I put him on Strongid and I noticed no difference.   He is indeed gaining weight.  If this is problematic during ride season, does it make sense to use the daily supplement during the off-season for weight gain and then terminate in the Spring?

Thanks, Steve McCorkle and Mujahli
