Im almost positive my horse is tying up. Vet coming to pull blood on Thursday. I was just wondering what others have done to help their horses. I feel my feed is the correct feed for tying up. I feed Blue Seal Sentinel LS and grass hay. Reason Im asking is I don't have much faith in my vet or the others I have used around here. Ive been trying to get an appointment with another vet that is 2 hours away but our schedules have not lined up. Im at a loss here so just wondering if anyone has had success stories and what you have done. Also were your horses able to become succesful barrel horses.

I'd recommend check out the PSSM groups on FB - there is a LOT to keeping some of these horses managed. It will depend on what type you are dealing with - but my type 2 mare does the best on pasture, with vitamin e, magnesium malate, TC 30 ration balancer, some oats (if i remeber right this and pasutre are a BIG no-no for type 1), kidney support, and added electrolytes. The same diet would likely be bad news bears if she were type 1.
Also, I have had a lot of issues with corn in feed causing problems (as near as I could deduce) :)

I had a mare that being to tye up regularly after we injected her hocks and gave her oshphos. She tyed up cosnitently with exercise for 6 months and then never has since. Not sure this is helpful to you but maybe something else in her environement is causing this?

funny I was having issues for a year with him had everything injected plus a bone scan. Nothing really came up on the bone scan but a little in his hocks. We injected his hocks in March and he was great! Then started racing him every weekend since end of April. 3 weeks ago he started getting all over body stiff. I couldn't even ride him. Hmm wondering if that could be it

Sometimes Genectic's can have a issue with tying in certain bloodlines. I'm going to bump up a thread for you thats all about tying up and more about PSSM.
