Well Roger ...

[Pasofever]

so I want my horse's hooves to grow faster (maybe not quite as fast as roger's) so what diet is he on?

He cant have hay so he gets 10 lbs of dry weight beet pulp a day (divided into 3 meals a day) (then water added) and TDI 10 suppliment..1 C soy bean meal..NO grain etc..

IM as directed from the vet now he is all blowed up..doing well now got his feet done today and has easy boots on....and started on a new foot med...Banamine PO ...bute and 30 sulfa tabs a day..

Paso, I was going to mention that sometimes a horse will have a BAD reaction to an IM Banamine shot... I dont know if you can post links here, havent tried that yet... but they get a bacterial infection and it is really nasty. I always give Banamine paste or IV... wondering who your vet is...

here is a copy of an article about it:

Clostridial myositis

Serious bacterial infections following IM injections are caused by Clostridial species. In the survey of 500 equine practitioners, 28 (5.6%) had encountered a case of clostridial infection at an IM injection site. These occur in association with non-antibiotic injections only. There is no relationship to the infection and the technique used to prepare the skin and fill the syringe.

Signs develop over 2-5 days post injection and progress rapidly within 5-10 days. Swelling and heat at the injection site are followed by widespread crepitation from gas formation, and skin will become cold and necrotic. Early, aggressive surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy are essential for any hope of survival. Unfortunately, prognosis is very poor once signs develop.

Passo, if I'm giving Banamine IV I usually give 10cc for a normal size horse... 10cc per 100 pounds... Just one shot a day, LOL... sounds like your vet wants to make a pin cushion out of your boy.

I'm in Southern Charles County, waaaayyyy south!

Passo, I'm not sure what is wrong with your horse... I'm going to take a shot...

Thrush... abcess... some sort of bad infection. I was thinking either white line disease or founder based on the meds... not sure what the wraps are for... giving Bute and Banamine together seems a little extreme, Banamine is the stronger of the two... not sure why you would need Bute... I'm still wondering who your vet is, not trying to be nosy to bash, just curious!
