Howdy everyone! I’ve been really busy with floating teeth or setting up my new computer storage device (NAS). Remember I’m also a geek!
The God of fairness shined favorably on me yesterday. I washed both my Tesla key fob and my Apple air pods (as well as laundered money). I had gone to absent minded mode after floating horses in 90 degree…

Reply to Alfalfa Hay VS Pellets?
In human nutrition, processing has been associated with increased uptake in carbohydrates due to the faster transit times. While everyone is looking at “roughage,” processing the alfalfa shouldn’t affect the composition of starch and cellulose but it will affect the transit time. This is why in humans eating starch from vegetables has a…

Reply to Talk to me about PSSM
Here’s my question (posed to my vet but she hasn’t answered me yet): if blood levels are “perfectly normal” WITH supplementation, does that mean he definitely needed it? If I cease giving it will his levels drop? Did the negative result in the fecal sample play a role in his comfort? Is it just that he has the freedom to move whenever he…

Hi Kerry – Please listen to episode #3 in the podcasts. I also recorded a webinar on this back in 2016 which can be found here: https://www.thehorsesadvocate.com/pituitary-dysfunction-what-is-cushings-disease-in-horses/

Reply to Rounds With Doc T - "Ins And Outs Of Fat - An Addendum To The April Rounds"
Micronized linseed is a seed oil made to add Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and protein to human diets and now, to horses. There is little science behind it as far as gut inflammation but I would assume that like with all seed oils, it is a polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) and therefore inflammatory.

Reply to Rounds With Doc T - "The Ins and Outs of Fat" - 2021 April 26th
This might be a fantastic idea. The starch content of oat straw is lower and the lignin content higher. Therefore the horses won’t like it as much. In addition, the manure becomes more yellow than brown. When I exercised polo ponies back in the 70’s in Calif that is all they fed the horses.
Here are 2 images. The 1st is for oat straw (4%…
