Clydesdale Feather
query...Please help! | |
|
|
Hi Sara, What
an amazing web-site you have….most informative. I found your site while trying to find out if my Clydesdale feathers
will grow back. I know….I really screwed up. I have the most beautiful Clydesdale gelding; “Mikey”. He is four years old now and
I purchased him when he was only 8 months. I am taking him to his first show the end of this month…we are
going to attempt some jumping classes and some flat classes. It was strongly recommended to me that we clip Mikey’s
feathers so that we can be taken seriously in the show ring. I had my coach clip his feathers and now by some others,
I have been told they may not grow back the same. I feel sick ……. I should have researched this before
going ahead with clipping off his feathers. PLEASE give me your advice & guidance….what can I do? I eagerly await
your reply and thank you so much for creating one of the best sites I have ever entered. I live in Burlington, Ontario
and am seriously thinking about visiting Michigan and attending one of your sessions. THANK YOU THANK
YOU THANK YOU Kindest regards,Leslie
Farnham

RE: Scratches
Hi Sara, .... I was reading your article on scratches......n I've
been dealing with this on my horse since November 2007...... I've had the vet out a couple of times...
he says this is a slow process to get rid of.... He is a paint with four white legs.... I have changed
his hay, shavings..... and used many different medicines and creams. .....,,The most recent is sulfer mixed with vegatable
oil ......and I noticed it slowly coming off. ......There are some days that I notice swelling which I then get
nervous..... and wondering if I'm doing more harm than good. .......Can you tell me how long that it took before
it cleared up on your horse?......... Did you turn your horse out for pasture?..... I've pretty much
kept him inside all winter to keep him clean and dry...... I noticed that your a 231 area code which I wasn't sure
if a Muskegon, Michigan number. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. This is the most frustrating thing
that I ever dealt with. Thanks, Jacki rjdeyoungranch@sbcglobal.net
THANKS JACKI THANK YOU FOR THE
EMAIL.... I'M SORRY FOR FOR YOUR SCRATCHES WOES...ITS SO AWFUL I KNOW.
MY CLYDE STILL HAS
IT TODAY A TINY BIT. .... I DON'T REALLY THINK ANY ONE THING IS THE CURE. ... I THINK THE DISEASE
CHANGES OVERT I'ME AND YOU MUST CHANGE WITH IT. I DO KNOW FOR SURE INTERNAL STUFF LIKE LYSINE- .....VIT
C- ......ANTIOXIDANTS I USE GRAPE SEED EXTRACT OIL- ......GLANZEN- NUTRNA XTN .....SOYBEAN MEAL
THE COMBINATION OF MY INTERNAL FEEDING AND MY EXTERNAL SALVES ARE THE KEY .......I WASH HIS SORES 2 TI'MES
A WEEK EACH TIME I WASH THEM ...I SHAMPOO ABOUT 4 TIMES .... THEN PUT ON CONDITIONER LIGHTLY AND BLOW
DRY REALLY WELL THEN LATELY I'VE BEEN USING DMSO AND NITROFURAZONE IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING GOOD. ABOUT
TURNOUT... YES YOU MUST GIVE HI'M AS MUCH EXERCISE AS POSSIBLE ....CIRCULATION IS WHAT GETS ALL THE STUFF
THRU IS .....SYSTEM .....ALL THAT EXPENSI'VE STUFF YOU ARE FEEDING HIM EVERY TIME A HORSE TAKES A STEp
THEY PUMP THE BLOOD AROUND THEIR BODY ....DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE MUD....JUST CLEAN HIM OFF WHEN YOU BRING
HIM IN ....ITS REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL...ONCE YOU MAKE IT A PART OF YOUR ROUTINE .......YOU CAN USE
A BUCKET OF HOT WATER AND A TINY BIT OF SHAMPOO AND BLEACH AND JUST USE A WASHCLOTH TO RUB OFF THE MUD IF YOU
ARE TAKING HI'M DIRECTLY TO A NICE CLEAN STALL OR YOU CAN SPRAY HI'M OFF...WHATEVER....I LIKE THE TINY
BIT OF BLEACH CAUSE I KNOW IT KILLS THINGS .....I AM 30 MINUTES WEST OF TRAVERSE CITY ABOUT 2.5 HOURS
AWAY NORTH OF YOU ... PUSH THE LYSINE TO YOUR HORSE,,,I'M SURE YOU WILL SEE AN I'MPORVEMENT ....PLEASE
SIGN MY GUEST BOOK THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR YOUR TIME SARASHALDA@aol.com

you buy your Lysine from? ......Brand, etc. I've been washing him with the Micro-Tek Shampoo, 2 - 3
times a week which I find helps to clean and loosen the scabs.......He is stalled everynight to help keep clean
and dry. Everytime I think he is getting better ....he gets a new scab or growth which is frustrating. Maybe I'm
not getting his legs completely dry after ....washing. I've been drying off with a towel and then letting him
air dry before applying the salve. ......I have used the Nitrofurzone dressing but not mixed with DMSO. I have to
say that the Nitrofurzone is messy and everything sticks to it. .......Do you think this disease comes from the
ground.......? I've ....recently put Lime down because someone has told me that it helps to kill off bacteria.
Not for sure on this but I figure it will help my pasture to grow. ......On another subject I've been giving
him fresh garlic to help keep the flys away. Have you ever heard of this before? Thanks, Jacki rjdeyoungranch@sbcglobal.net
hi jackie.....the lysine and s0ybean meal will pretty much eliminate the new breakouts we get the lysine from united vet .....its called
pure lysine 1 800 328 6652 ....its about 55.00 i think we have a standing automatic reorder on
file .............for out one horse we get a 5 lb tub every month .......we also have a standing reorder order to
horseteck ....they make glanzen....i really swear it is a miracle .....we
use about 2-3 bags of soybean meal and alfalfa pellets .......these have the highest source of lysine found in
nature and grape see extract is the most.....powerful anti oxidant found in nature ........we use the
oil from meijers grocery store ......we also use vitiamin c becuase it boosts the absorption of lysine.........your
shampoo is good but the most important thing is .........the consistancy of treatment..not what shampoo you use ....remember
stress reaseses all sorts of bad hamful chemicals in he body so keep your horse happy ....make sure he
is not with any other horses that stress him out.....people too...send photossarashalda@aol.com

Subject: Re: Scratches .......I see you mentioned Alfalfa
Pellets. About 1 week ago I eliminated the Alfalfa hay that I was feeding him .....thinking that he may be allergic
to it. ....If he was allergic to Alfalfa though I would think he would have ...it all over his body and nose don't
you think. My Vet said that it's the process of elimination to see what's causing this. ....Also, I
noticed you mentioned stress. .....Back in late September he did have an incident where he went through some fences,
got cut up a bit and seemed to be very stressed for a few days along with having a fever......I truly believe all
this was from this incident and it's almost like his body can't fight it off. I've even put him on some
oral Tucoprim for infection...... Thanks again for your advise. I really appreicate it. ....jackie
thanks jackie.....the two highest sources of lysine found
in nature for a horse is soybeans and alfalfa
i wish i could get my hands on soybean hay
but i cannot in this area ......my clyde did go thru a stage of total body breakout .....it was right
in the middle of show season .....words cannot describe that ordeal .....but we got thru it somehow ......pain
and stress is definately a deterant to healing .......make sure any medicine you put him on does not have.... negative
side affects that stress him ......i know it is difficualt to know what your horse is feeling..... but you must
ask him to help you ...... you must reach deep inside your self and know that there is a way to achieve a deeper
comminication with your horse ....that is how it was for me .....i knew i need information from my horse ....i
knew my horse had a spirit .............i knew i had one too .....i knew there had to be a way for them
to connect because so much love existed ...i found it with my horses help today information between us is free flowing and a definate
ingrediant in healing .....i still fight the demon of scratches every day but now with my horses
help it is much easier .....if you want to learn more of what i have learned ...my psychic book will help you learn
to accelerate healing SARASHALDA@aol.com
