Does your vet have a lameness locator? Dr. White at Sallisaw just got one and we have had a lot of fun with it so far! He's finding things now that we would have had to make blind guesses at before.
You are doing the right thing with his feed, but what we have also found is that EPM relapses are coming from a lowered immune system. A healthy digestive system is the key to a healthy immune system. As much as everyone loves Forco I don't think it's getting the job done in some cases. It hurts a little to spend the money on the Bluebonnet Transform DSI, but I have been blown away at the results that we have seen. I was told by several vets throughout this feed contamination ordeal that my horses probably looked as good as I could hope for them to and there wasn't anything I can do...I'm telling you this stuff is bringing my horses back to what they are supposed to look like. I have a few that will not be able to be performance horses, one that won't be useable at all, and one was euthanized, but we know now why I had to treat 10 horses for EPM in the past three years.
You have to have a healthy gut to have a healthy horse...and if your horse looks drawn up in the flanks all the time, the gut is not functioning properly. This means that no matter what you feed them they will act and look ulcery and will not gain.
What many doses to you get out of the Transform DSI ?
Sorry found it on their website.... its pricey.
Anyone have before and after pics with this?

We are feeding it to seven horses right now, so I'm a little scared to figure it up...Ours is out of necessity to see if they can recover from the bad feed. You are supposed to be able to get 30-60 days out of the 13# and 90-180 days out of the 40#. We had them all on 4oz a day for the first 60 days and now they are all on 2oz a day. Bluebonnet used some of my pictures recently on FB to show their changes in 30 days on Omega Force and Transform DSI. It's been amazing to see them fill in so much when the vets said that they wouldn't. | |

I've used FORCO and can't get bluebonnet on my area. Got a mare (no epm) but she's tucked up all the time. Race bred but still would like her more filled out
Bluebonnet ships from their website, but it's $18 for the 13.5 pail. I'm lucky enough to have plenty of dealers around. If it would be cheaper for me to ship it to you I'd gladly do it! | |
