My new mare Lacey had full episode on the side of the mountain today... looking back there were just a few things that should have clued me that this may be chronic and not a freak thing. So whats working for you?? |

| A shot of Selenium and Vit E once a month during the summer months. But it probably depends on the horse and situation. |

This! My mare has severe PSSM per muscle biopsy and (knock on wood) we have managed it very well with no episodes for a long time with diet and consistent exercise. |

Location: bring on the heat, NV | She has been getting Alfalfa (2nd cutting) and just not quite a lb of a manna pro controlled starch (only difference between it and the low starch was the controlled starch had higher fat same NSC if I remember correctly) with one scoop of platinum performance regular. Our area is deficient in copper and seleium but the grain has a added seleium/copper (within a safe supplement level I checked). She was pretty buddy sour had a hissy fit and tied up shortly after. On some links it was recommended to add a calming supplement to insecure horse that tend to ty up. Anyone tried it? Thank you all again for the info. I have turned turned out now in a large dry lot. Ill have grass hay this upcoming week. I want to try renew gold on her but do I keep the platinum or leave it out?
