Thank you!
I had mare that would tie up in the spring and early summer. Suspected PSSM and green grass was the trigger. I put her on selenium and vitamin E and kept her off green grass until hot summer. Never tied up again.
MVP In Sync really helped our mare that had issues with tying up.
What are you feeding? Tying up is usually is nutrition or work related.
I switched my mare to a low startch & sugar diet. She can't have alfalfa due to making her a hot basket case and sweats excessively. I give her Vit E and Magnesium with every meal. I give her extra electrolytes as needed. All has been good since adjusting her diet.

Thank you, I have been looking at different supplements trying to figure out which one would be the best for her. I think I'm goin to go back to the D&D feed I really think she is getting too much starch and sugar with this one.
California trace minerals, multivitamins and pure vitamin E and 2 tablespoons of salt daily. Be sure to walk out to cool down .all those amino acids remain in those muscles waiting to be used. By walking they disperse. Vitamins E and C feed those muscles. Reduce iron intake.
Determined what is causing it. Mine was diagnosed with PSSM2, so he's on high protein & the Tri Aminos for base diet and really watch his muscles and how he's actually doing.
