| uno-dos-tres! - 2016-01-03 9:19 PM grinandbareit - 2016-01-03 7:03 PM Everything that I read and the people I've talked to say it is VERY difficult to treat the pastures and get rid of it. Our pastures have areas of clay and sandy loam. It spreads easily so you have to be careful when shredding or even driving on infected ground. I have had some root rot problems that I now know the cause of though. Guess that's a plus, lol. Fertilizing is one of the worst things you can do, as it makes it worse. We are going to try some stuff this spring... lime and a fungicide... to see if it helps. We're going to do graze-on, too. Let me know how that goes. Thanks so much for spreading your knowledge!
My vet said they actually don't have Pythium, that they don't actually know what the irritant is, it could be different for some horses. He said thru trial and error they found that the Pythium vaccine us effective on whatever this is. He went on to say research is being done to try and pinpoint the specific irritant which will help finding a cure. |

This is absolutely true... which is why the vaccine is effective for so many different allergens.

What are you treating your pastures for, what are you using? |

We are going to treat for the pythium. And any weed that could be causing issues. Since it lives in the ground, we are going to disc it up and put lime down. No fertilizer and I'm checking up on what we can use as a fungicide to treat the area where we keep the horses. We're in the experimental stage, lol. If the vaccine works then it won't be such a big deal.

| I told my husband we were going to burn ours and start over ??????. We have 100 acres, I do have an 8 acre pasture that they stay in at night weather permitting, that I could treat. I know he won't do our whole place. |

Check with your vet to make sure burning will kill it. We had some cows come up with Yohne's disease, (I know I didn't spell it right). Any way it usually is a dairy cattle disease and it is spread through contact with manure and then it gets in the soil/grass. It was some kind of fungus/bacteria that caused wasting away. Nothing you can do for it. The only way to get rid of it was to test cattle, send the infected ones to slaughter and keep cattle off the contaminated pastures for 1 year. We kept them off for 2 years. We asked about burning and they said it wouldn't help. |

Is this mixture of 5 drops of Copiaba and 5 drops of Frankincense being diluted with Saline in the nebulator? |

There was a post on here about a week or so ago I believe where someone with the Equi-resp units said essential oils should not be used with these breathing treatments? I do not remember what the thread/post title was though. |

Wow, I wonder why? Aromatherapists will tell you one of the safest ways to use essential oils is with a diffuser or in hot water with a towel to tent over your head. |

I cannot remember why, I am trying to find the thread but I haven't found it yet. I was telling my mother-in-law about it, she is big into essential oils, and she said she agreed with not using them in the Equi-resp/nebulizer treatments even if they are diluted. Said they are too strong to inhale directly like that versus using a diffuser. |

Oh, you know, it maybe that the oils will damage the plastic tubes. I know that they do warn you about that on some tools in aromatherapy. It seems like I have read warnings in some of my books. |
