psyllium



Hello folks.  A discussion came up at our barn yesterday about psyllium.
I know it was popular a coule of years back to follow a protocal of
giving pysllium for seven days straight out of every month.  Then,
somehow I became aware (was it from ridecamp?) that pysllium really
wasn' t observed to move the sand anyway.    Yesterday, a couple of
ladies said their vets (different) both recommend psyllium to avoid sand
collic.  (We live in an area with sandy soil.)  The protocal for one was
now different:   give psyllium every weekend on both days.  I had heard
that others think only sedentary horses tend to retain sand,  anyway,
and t hat psyllium won't move any more sand than bran or hay fiber......
If you have any experience with psyllium,  or knowledge of WHAT the
protocal is now,  (am I playing with fire by not feeding it?)   please
let me know.  Private posts would be great if others aren't interested.
Thanks,  jan freed
