I liked the "complete and udder confusion" part of the story myself.

But I guess the OP was talking about a mare.:lol:

On the next question that OP asked, I have heard of taking another blood sample a couple of months after the antibiotics have been finished to try to determine if the horse has been cleared of the...

Why would you use a baby pad with a fleece pad? I thought the point of a fleece pad was to have the fleece touching the horse's back to wick away moisture?

Just asking.

Horses can have long-term after effects of the lyme infection. Some horses may develop permanent arthritic changes, particularly if the disease went undiagnosed.

Also recent research at Cornell,...

I sold a saddle and used Paypal. It worked extremely well. I'd go with that option over the cashier's check.

Shipping can be expensive, particularly to and from private individuals (costs more...

I don't know whether you've tried this or not, but it might be worth giving it a trial: an herbal supplement that combines some common mare balancing herbs with valerian and/or chamomile. Of course...

Bug spray for yourself.

You seem to have most of the basics already, so the rest you can just buy as needed. Although you probably want to check the expiration date on the antibiotic cream that you have: if you've had it...

Great photos. I think that polo would be too wimpy for her. I can see her as a buzkashi horse:yes:

From the post it's not clear to me what the status of the horse is. Is this a horse that has been treated multiple times for lyme disease? Over a period of years?

Has the infection ever seemed to...

If the horse is losing shoes and chunks of hoof wall are coming off with the shoes, then it sounds to me as though he is pulling the shoes. The hind foot is catching the front shoe and pulling it...

I don't know; the two-syllable thing doesn't seem to hold up. We say "prettiest," "funniest," wittiest." Maybe there's a special rule if the adjective ends in a "y."?

But anyway i'd use the word...

I had a horse choke on hay twice, both times within a week. The first time by the time the vet came out the choke had passed and the vet did nothing, aside from commiserate. The second time it...

There's actually a wonderful charity in South Africa, the Cart Horse Protection Association, that does great work both in rescuing some animals, but also in educating owners about horsekeeping,...

If you're teaching in a college or university, you should have TIAA-CREF available to you. They're great and provide a lot of information about investing.

If you don't have access to TIAA-CREF...

Just for fun, here's the whole family group: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/RiQsgyqaXn3_FsPLwgZ5Xw?feat=directlink

It was very cool seeing the zebras (and other animals) so close. But it...

Don't be too harsh!

And I don't want this to degenerate into a barefoot vs. shod thread, please!:winkgrin:

I think we may be hearing just one side of the story, and I'm not just trying to stir the pot.

It's possible that the Professional thought she/he was being clear that the horses did indeed sell at...

If you're going to be going to ride after work, I'd think seriously about the drive. I've boarded 25 minutes away from my house and (now) 10 minutes away, and I'll tell you that 10 minutes away...

Heightened reactivity *can* be a symptom of lyme disease, but so can lethargy. Each horse is different.

Merck actually donated (for many years, don't know if they're still doing it) ivermectin to communities in the Third World that were badly affected by riverblindness.

I just checked: Merck still...

You *won't* know the difference because, effectively, there *is* no difference.

Lyme disease can cause arthritis symptoms because it causes arthritis--it can cause the joints to swell and create...

Ivermectin has been used with people who have a particular parasite that causes river-blindness for years.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Too bad about the bad taste.

My son takes either a men's size 28 or a boy's size 18. Men's stuff tends to be more expensive though.

For schooling the JPC polo jeans (that aren't really jeans but are made of nice stretchy...

Why does it "boggle the mind"?

It looks like a great organization.
