Location: taking the road less traveled... | Has anyone ever had successful treatment that didn't cost an arm and leg ? I know the omeprazole does not work. He is a very picky eater and strange smelling anything added to his feed and he won't touch it or he will eat around it and leave it in the bucket. He stays up at night and is out during the day. If he can see any horses out he wants out with them and wing finish his feed. What types of treatments actually work? Preferably one that you don't have to mix with feed? Also what types of feed work best and which ones to stay away from? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks ! |

| I just started a product called Redmond Daily Gold. It is a bentonite clay based supplement and you mix 2 ounces a day with their feed. I also have a picky eater that usually can smell a feed change a mile away! He INHALED this stuff from day one. It is mined back east and is basically in its natural state and put into a bag. It costs about 15.00 for a 40 day supply so very inexpensive. It coats and protects the entire GI tract from mouth to hind end from what I understand. I even put some on my tongue just to see what it was like and it tastes like DIRT. lol Nothing weird, so maybe thats why he eats it. I add a little water to my grain so it will stick but thats about it.. Something to try anyway and its Cheap , I am sure THE people will recommend Gastro plus. I have heard good about it, but 15.00 is more in my budget than 100.00+ for a month supply. |

THE GastroPLUS does work. It is one of the few that can be fed to heal hind gut. But if your horse is picky, this does have a strong smell. My advice would be to mix with a dab of water in an oral syringe and syringe it to him every day. A 32 dose bag will do wonders and is $115.95 shipped if purchased through me. |

| Redmond salt company has a clay that is supposed to treat hind gut ulcers, it is 15/bag I believe.
I haven't used it, but have used green clay with success, but the more I am reading green clay is suppose to be the least effective.
Bentonite (sp) clay is supposed to be one of the better, and I believe this is what Redmond uses.
I give one tablespoon daily when I suspect.
Sorry I do add it in with their food, I do start gradually with my finicky eaters.
Also look at their diet, low NSC, high fat will help heal the hind gut

Location: Nowhere Land | try putting some Molasses and hot water in a spray bottle and spray whatever it is you're feeding the horse a little .. that has worked for many picky eaters I know. Also, If that doesnt work you can put the meds/supplement in a oral syringe with some warm water and apple sauce and shake it up, then dispense that way. I used Ranitadine OTC 16 pills 3x a day for a horse here with Chronic intestinal Inflammation and Ulcers in the Hind gut. Hes on it for life. (this was a severe case) Another mare I had on it for about 8 months and seemed to heal everything she had going on, she scoped clean after, and now on a simple preventative supplement. She was on 16 pills 2x a day. The pills you can buy Generic Over the counter (human) PM me for more info. Hope this helps you, I know not everyone has had success with this, but I have. |

So they also told you to change your husbandry practices also to help deal with the hind hit issues then?
There's really nothing out there for hind gut that isn't feed through. EquiShure. GastroPLUS. Succeed. Even ProBios is feed through. |

My colt was pacing and kind of eating dirt once in a while. Started him last week, and he is CALM. When he is not eating instead of pacing he is standing. He is CLEANING UP his feed and seems great. Its 15 bucks so im happy. I am running him saturday so I will see if he runs any different. |
