I've heard more than a few times vets minimize the importance of the horse's incisors. I realize older horses who've lost some of their front teeth can survive on mash. But how important are the incisors? Thank you!
I absolutely love this! I always have had a fascination with veterinary medicine and even worked in emergency veterinary care for a small animal hospital in California. Absolutely amazing work!
Fantastic video. Thanks very much. I wish you could help a horse with Wobblers who lives at Stal G Friesian Farm! I have been watching him on videos since he was a foal. He was adopted by a Friesian mare called Queen Uniek who had lost her foal. Now, Rising Star( not a Friesian) has Wobblers. It is so sad😢
If his stem cell treatment is possible in animals that have osteoarthritis, it must be possible to do the same to people who also have osteoarthritis. It would save us from a lot of pain and medication intake.
SO? Is EPM like Lyme Disease? Sometimes Doxycycline alone works while sometimes Doxycycline mixed with other drugs work better for humans? In Babesiosis, also. Same thing.
Thank you so much! I've had success with dealing with scratches: 1. Apply SSD, wrap with plastic wrap and leave on for a few hours up to around 24 hours. 2. Apply slightly diluted antimicrobial (like ketoconazole) shampoo and leave on for at least 10 mins ;) then gently remove the softened scabs, rinse and dry very well (I use a microfiber rag and sometimes a hairdryer). 3. Cover the pasterns with polo wraps (you can cut them if they're too long) to protect the skin from dirt in the environment. I found that the horse grinding its rear pasterns into the ground when getting up from lying down embeds dirt into the pastern skin. This is why wrapping is so important. This protocol has cured a horse who had scratches for literally five years and everyone including the vet had given up on, and his stall was very clean. He's been scratches free for one year now! Hope this helps!
I have a old thoroughbred that got EPM 17 years ago. I treated him & he recovered but only to about 85 %. He's now 24 yo it's definitely taken its toll on him. I think it's effecting his brain & a gait irregularitie. I know most horses that get EPM don't live that long. It would be interesting to do a case study.
