Glad everybody is feeling OK and that you got the all clear from Purina.<br /><br />Mango MommaDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-25544571151569558692012-05-09T00:47:51.812-05:002012-05-09T00:47:51.812-05:00That is absolutely terrifying!

I had this happen with Salem once; the othe...Eeeek! I had this happen with Salem once; the other part-boarder didn't lock the feed shed and Salem ate something like 15 pounds of Purina Senior (which is not what he normally eats, either). Thankfully, he was fine, but I was one worried mama.<br /><br />I would get some activated charcoal to give in future (which hopefully won't happen!)--it will absorb any toxins that the gut releases, which will reduce the risk of laminitis. I believe Dynamite clay and diatomaceous earth also absorb toxins, so those are also an option.<br /><br />And, whenever there's a risk of developing laminitis, THE best thing to do is put the hooves in an ice/water slurry of approx. 60% ice and 40% water--studies have shown that it's better at thwarting laminitis than any drug. Hopefully you're already past the danger zone now, but I would get some dry sacks and work on getting your boys used to having their hooves in them, at least with cold water, so they know the feeling and don't panic in an emergency. (You can get the dry sacks at an outdoor or sporting goods store, or some Walmarts).<br /><br />Glad your boys seem to have pulled through alright! :-) It's pretty nerve-wracking being a horse owner, isn't it ?!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-20949858492680970672012-05-08T19:59:05.091-05:002012-05-08T19:59:05.091-05:00Good to hear!!

For every horse I know that has foundered or colicked from getting into the feed, I also know 2 or 3 who've done the same thing and been fine.A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.com
