Firefighter Wife Reg. Mar 2014	Posted 2014-08-03 9:43 AM Subject: Best Vet in Texas to treat a bleeder - who are your vets?
Veteran Posts: 100	I bought a new horse a few months back, I knew she was a bleeder, but I was told it was controlled by Lasix. I have dealt with bleeders before so this did not scare me given the talent of this mare. Well she is bleeding thru Lasix despite following all the normal protocols. While I love my vet, he just blows me off on the bleeding. Says give her 30 days of, antibiotics and start again conditioning. I know there are other things you can try with a bleeder so I'm seeking a vet in Texas that is aggressive and knowledgable about treating bleeders if anyone knows one. Thanks!

I also decided to give a feed through supplement (bleed block) to double protect him. My thought is that many people can use these products and not have to use lasix so if I double up he would be even more covered.

I went to a vet in South Ms, My horse was bleeding thru 6-7cc of lasix - I am talking about coughing up blood bad - Gave my horse 2 months off after my last bad bleed to let him heal - had to use 2 rounds of antibiotics to finally get him clear and healed, Verified via scoping This vet here got me Kentucky Red (which is an antihemorrhagic) to use along with my lasix - SUCCESS! I would find a track vet if you cant find someone who specializes with performance horses I use 5cc lasix and 5cc kentucky red (4 hrs out IV)

Location: California	Ask the vet about giving 1/2 cc (tab) ace. It was recommended to me by one of my track vets but check with your vet first.
