In 2008 I had something similar happen to my mare. She had a lot of discharge, and I thought her water broke. I called the vet out immediately and he said it was just discharge and not to worry. She...

We have the big powerlines over our pasture. If you have these powerlines, go out there at night time with a florescent bulb. Just the bulb. The thing will light up. So freaky. The higher you hold it...

This is a very common scene at many of the stockyard auctions in my area. Horse traders from all over selling a pretty horse. These dealers hear about the expensive horses that sell online, and they...

Thanks. I was not able to get any milk out of her today. It was just annoying her, she wasn't in the mood for it! I tried the warm cloth, and rubbing it gently, but she got aggrevated.

I talked to...

Thanks for the link to that page. I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I will go out now and try milking her again. I am thinking that I didn't get enough of the good milk so my test might...

No I didn't test the calcium. I was killing time at a garden/feed store today and saw the pH tester. I never have tested it in the past, just remembered hearing about the pH levels. If she doesn't go...

My mare was due around March 4th. I did not breed her. She was pasture bred and that is the approximate due date that I got.

She is huge. She is bagged up, since the end of February. It looks...

Thanks! I will check into all of that. The feedstores sell a horse pasture mix, but it all contains fescue. Trying to avoid the fescue.

I would like to reseed my pasture this year. I keep hearing different stories from different farmers.

I live in southeast Michigan. Our soil is mostly sandy. We have sparse grass out there, not...

Thanks! He is 9. He is not crippled by any means. You can notice him dragging his toe at a slower trot, he tends to get lazy and you can see it at a jog. Fine at the walk, canter and working trot. I...

My friend is looking to sell her warmblood gelding that requires regular maintenance of his joints. He needs either legend or adequin, possible injections directly in the joint, and oral supplements...

There is another farm in VA that needs to be outed. Don't really want to hijack this thread, but something needs to be done about the VA farm also. AC has been called. She has tbs and warmbloods. I...

I have never dealt with the surgeons at MSU, just lameness exams and had a mare in quarantine there. I am just nervous and I want to make sure I pick the right place, and I was never impressed with...

Thanks animaldoc. Just curious. I don't think going into the pastern area is an option at this point b/c of an infection I have to deal with first. The joint is already trying to fuse. Just looking...

Regarding calling a lawyer: I lost a colt that was septic due to mismanagement in 2008. I KNEW the colt was septic, the vet came out and insisted he had just been stepped on. Unfortunately I lost...

I am at my wits end with these vets. I actually showed these x-rays to my orthopedic surgeon, thanks mickeydoodle! Sadly I have had more informative information with my orthopedic surgeon and you...

I did a search and didn't really find what I was looking for on Coth. In searching the internet on articles about ringbone, ethyl alcohol injections where mention to help fuse the joint. It is still...

EqT- none of that was done. I have learned the hard way that the vets in the area are not aggressive. I lost a foal 2 years ago to a vet (I no longer use) that was not aggressive enough.

It was...

bumping up. I would give him to a good home just b/c I won't be using him anymore.

Hip bones seem to be a TWH trait, same as some standardbreds. They are naturally hippy. You would have to almost make them extremely obese to cover up the hips. And her weight now is better then her...

Thank you Rodawn. Its helping me a ton for you to explain all of that. I will keep you updated.

I do believe this started with the nail, and is a result of the infection. There is obvious hard...

Located just west of Chicago. 15.3h bay rabicano JC mare, throws big, correct and colorful foals. Always has nice hunter prospects. Has been bred mostly to qh's and paints. Slipped her foal over 90...

The vet may want to do flexions just so he can get an idea of where to start. Just be aware that one radiograph may lead to another, and another... Also the vet might want to try and block him, which...

Located in south east MI. 15.3-16h big bodied dark bay tb gelding. Has been sitting for about a month, but is ready to start getting in shape for the show ring. Excellent dressage horse or eventer....

Not really obsessing with the infection, but surgery to fuse the coffin bone is not an option if she does have one. You don't want to introduce foreign material to her body if there is an infection,...
