Sam asks about their mare with cushings

I strongly suspect this RMH mare has cushings. She is 22 years old, has been shown alot in her younger years.  Is the Mom of several great Rocky Mountain horses. I bought her in September, knowing her condition, and knowing she is the great granddaughter of Tobe, and Johnson's Toby, Blue Boy, Molly II, Johnson's Blue Mare.

First I want to do all I can to keep this mare healthy especially since she quickly became the love of my wife's life.   and second, would certainly like to have a foal out of her, if she is able to conceive again.

What would you recommend for this mare?

Thanks Sam

Hi Sam, I would definitely begin on feeding program as sson as possible to build upon when using any of our targeted support that will probably be needed at least for a short while.

Now, adhering to the program (see What to feed link below for review) regular RED CAL, Weight Check Oil and the Just Add Oats to make oats or any grain complete. (preferable oats!)

Alosn with this.. supplement for additional support with our "Critical Care" Hypothyroid Insulin resistant formula— it is pricey but may only be needed for a short while 2-3 months. Also consider our Gut Check product to support the gut through this. This would be the minimum. Also consider the Joint Check for not only joint support but for antioxidant support as well.

I'm hoping for the best so that she can again bless with a foal. Keep me posted Sam!

Thanks for asking and do take care! God Bless

Lynne with navicular disease question for her horse

What do you recommend to feed to a horse with navicular disease?  Would just add oats be too high carb?  I have used your products in the past.  I had a mare in foal founder. Used several of your products.  

She delivered a healthy foal and is still doing fine 3 years later!

Lynne

Hi Lynne,

Thanks so much for your kind words about out products. Oats are lowest in starch of all grains and I absolutely recommend Oats, but as I say… "oats alone are not enough",  thus the need for Just Add Oats supplement as part of the overall "feed For Success" feeding program.

For a  navicular challenge, our Feeding program is perfect to adhere to and build upon by supplementing with the targeted support offered from our Joint Check product (joint support + antioxidants!) Provide Joint Check at 1 to 2 scoops daily.

Thanks again for your support and thanks for considering our products again! (Be sure to review feeding program at the "What To Feed Link" below!)

Mary with questions about her pug dog’s skin allergies

You were recommended to me Lyrene in ________ TN. She thinks that you can help me, I hope that you can make some suggestions.

I have a pug that has skin allergies. He scratches a lot and has scooted around on his tail until he has gotten it infected looking and sore. I know that it makes him crazy. I bath him in Malaseb shampoo and that helps for a day. He has been on Predisone for three weeks. He started on 1 1/2 pills twice a day but now that we are cutting back the dosage, as perscribed, to 1 1/2 every other day the scratching and scooting has returned. He is also on a antibiatic named Cephalexin twice a day. Over the summer he has been on Atopica, Temaril P and had a couple of shots. He is gaining weight and I know that is not good for him. He has always had a little problem with weight and now it's worse. I also think it's affecting his joints, when we walk his hind legs seem to give out a little. He has also been tested for Cushings, which came back negative.

Lyrene has your catalog and thought Aller Check or Health check might help. I called your number this morning and the lady suggested I email you. He is 7 years old tomorrow and I love him dearly. I will try anything you recomend to help him. I'm at my wits end and Lyrene swears by you.

 

 

Thank you, Mary H.

Hello Mary,

Bless you both… At the very least you can provide the pet supplements- Aller Check and the Omega Check oil along with the health Check. You did good reading! The Aller Check and Health Check will help rid past junk (drugs and other) and keep out junk and environmental stresses. The essential oils will benefit the skin and coat and more. Now if later you feel that joint support is needed, provide the Joint Check instead of Health Check as it is the same but has joint support ingredients.

But please know that such serious cases are so so serious and if local vet can't fix then it is tough for me too.. but would start with above. I want to also suggest considering the Innova brand of natural food- it is what I buy.

Tell Lyrene thanks and please keep me posted as you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynne asks about our formulations with enzymes…

Thank you for your response to my email (re: navicular). I am very interested in changing over to your feeding program for him.  Just one more question…what about enzymes.  Are they in any of the supplements.  do you carry them?  

Thank you again!!!!

Lynne

Hi Lynne, you're more than welcome for sure…. the "Just Add Oats" supplement (part of the program) contains microbials that will offer up lots of digestive support. Now if more "targeted" support is desired we have Gut Check and Hoof Check that also contains digestive enzymes/ingredients for further enhanced support. And of course, even Bug Check which we say is much more than just a "bug product" contains Alltech's probiotics (Lacto-Sacc) for the gut along with antioxidants/grape seed etc.

It is safe to combine any of our "targeted" supplements along with the foundation of the feeding program.

Thanks again for asking and considering. Keep me posted!

Patricia asks about “sulfates in my horses diet”

is there such a thing as a sulfate lick or are there enough in your Red Cal to supply a horses needs?

—Patricia

Hi Patricia, hope all is great!

Our RED CAL is so much better.  It is actually minerals in essentially a natural chelation type. Attaching minerals to sulfates is better than most BUT having the minerals from the ancient sea beds that are still attached to organic material (plant material etc.) Is so much better than merely attaching them to sulfur. (Sulfates).

I hope this helps and thanks for asking!

3 Throw Away All Salt and Mineral Blocks…
Make RED CAL Available Free Choice At All Times!

Our Red Cal supplement is a formulation and combination of calcium, micronutrients and herbs to help keep your horse healthy.

It is fed "FREE CHOICE", so it’s easy. And although you let them eat all they want, it’s economical too!

*About a dollar-a-day (or less!)

*Typically a 25 lb bag will last from 100 – 200 days for one horse but will vary depending upon the individual needs. Buying our bulk packages will make your per-day, per-horse investment even less!

Did you know that salt & mineral quality varies greatly? Unlike most, RED-CAL™ is not bleached, kiln dried, heated, or altered with chemicals or pollutants, it’s balanced by nature, not by man.

The minerals utilized are the finest available, with detail especially to purity and absorption.

"Did you know that most commercial salt and minerals are either "man made" or some other industry's waste product? Unlike these, ours is not bleached, kiln dried, heated, or altered with chemicals or pollutants; it's balanced by nature not by man! Did you know that blocks for horse, and others for that matter, are almost useless and potentially dangerous!

They just can't get what they need, when they need it, fast enough by trying to lick or chew from a block! When the weather changes sudden imbalances in the grass can occur. Horses must be able to get what they need when they need it! Period! RED CAL is fed free-choice and loose, not in a block form. Just hang a bucket on a fence post and pour a little in it. Rain does not even diminish effectiveness.
– Dr. Dan Moore

You can expect stronger bones, muscles, ligaments and better performance regardless of discipline. We believe this is our finest product yet developed and your horse will prove it. It is OK to use along with any of our other products and for any horse, any age. Use year round for best results.

If you don't consider any other portion of our feeding program at this time, at the very least you should provide RED CAL free-choice for your horses. ~~~ Dr. Dan

Pam wants to know what to feed very low thyroid, insulin resistant pony

Hi Dr Dan, I need to know what to feed my very low thyroid, insulin resistant pony.  

thanks
Pam M.

Hi Pam,

Our foundational feeding "program", with the 3 needed supplements should be implemented 100% as soon as possible for best results. Along with this we have a "targeted" Critical Care product for "Overweight,Hyperthyroid, Insulin Resistant Support"should be provided until under control. It is pricey but nothing else like it and has helped many through the years.

"What To Feed" link below will direct you to program page for review.

I appreciate you asking and considering.

CriticalCare IR/Overweight

The more insulin produced daily, the shorter the life span! Even in “lesser” species like flies, ants and other bugs, resting insulin level is used as a gauge for life span. Guess what causes insulin to go up—sugar and carbohydrates. What do we feed our horses? Sugar and carbohydrates—like grain and sweet feed. Here is an example of the crisis our horses are facing today: Rocky Mountain Horses were initially bred in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, they essentially were raised in strip mine conditions—that is—just fed grass, and barely that—all five foundation sires to the breed were still breeding in there 30’s!! Still kicking in their 30’s and going strong!

Most horses today are considered ancient at 20 years of age. Certainly many factors are involved like over vaccination, and over deworming, etc., but I believe our horses today are quickly becoming insulin resistant and aging prematurely because of the insulin levels. The insulin/age correlation within other species is my basis of the theory. Just look around at your neighbor or perhaps your own belly—any extra fat around? Overweight, outright fat, cresty necked horses is almost the norm today.

So much insulin is being produced to handle the sugar that the body’s insulin receptors stop working. A comparison would be walking into Grandma’s kitchen on Thanksgiving day. That turkey smells sooo.. good when you first walk in, but after an hour or so you hardly smell it—your smell sensors have become resistant. Anything we can do to keep the insulin levels low or lessen the resistance to insulin will be much healthier—not just for horses but people and pets, too. The prevention is a high fat diet (log on our website for the scientific truth about how good saturated fats, like coconut oils are good for us and unsaturated, high trans-diets are killing us).

The basis of the formulation has been gathered from some of the leading physicians in diabetic and cardiac care. The literature supporting the ingredient function is overwhelming, and clinically it just is amazing. Ingredients include Carnitine, Lipoic Acid, Biotin, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium, Chromium, L-Tyrosine, Cinnamon, Niacin, Ginger, Ginseng etc.

John asks about encouraging growth of feather

Hi Dr. Dan,  Do you have any tips for encouraging the growth of feather? Getting ready for a horse show.

John S.

Hi John,

The RED CAL along with the Hoof Check is a good combination for this. Of course as much as the overall feeding program that you can adhere to will benefit also. I'm not where I can check, but seems like I remember seeing an order a few days ago with a couple of the feeding program supplements- which is good and I appreciate it!

So again be sure providing at least Red Cal and I would for sure add Hoof Check for it is more loaded  with specifics for connective tissue growth (mane and hoofs similar structure believe it or not) ..methionine, lysine, biotin, enzymes etc.

Good luck at the show, keep me posted and thanks again!

Dr. Dan

Lizbeth asks a feeding question for her Andulusian

I have a 7 year old Andulusian I imported from Spain in April who does dressage. He had been on oats in Spain so I continued with crimped oats here- and lots of hay and over the summer added weight check oil (2 oz. 2 times a day)and have recently added Just Add Oats as well. Before he was on crimped oats but now is on regular oats.

He also has a Himalayan salt lick always in his stall which I replace regularly as he seems to use it a lot. Over the summer he was in turnout with grass- though lost weight which is why I added the oil. Then he was fine. I've just moved barns and his turnout does not have grass and he has lost weight again despite the increased oil. He gets 2 quarts of oats a day.

Any suggestions on anything different I should do.

Hello Lizbeth,


The very first thing I'm going to ask you to consider is getting rid of that salt lick
and start providing RED CAL free-choice 24/7/365 as best you can in this environment.
It is OK to add a tablespoon to what you're feeding each day if necessary, but provided free-choice they
will eat what they need on their own.

Of the 3 components of my feeding "program"… RED CAL is the single most important product
and the one I always want folks to consider if they won't consider anything else. I've got a salt block
video and much much more- including a Salt Mineral article at the "What to Feed" link below if you would
review this if not done so already.

I would like to see what this small move would accomplish as it has for so many through the years.

For the immediate— I would provide more Hay and more oil. But again- the intended results
are all going to better achieved if allowed to work in unison as part of the program and switching
to RED CAL would be a major step and when able the "Just Add Oats supplement.

Please keep me posted and I'm glad you asked now when you did.

Thanks,

Dr. Dan

No need to be “corn-fused” about feeding your horse… (for success)

a recent email:

 

Just the other day a couple of things happened that while at first thought, seemed to be completely different but as I reflected the next few days they reminded of such much more.

Corn Maze

First there was the story about the family that had to call 911 when they were lost in a corn maze and thought they couldn't find their way out!

If you missed that story and if interested, click here.

Then, as I usually do I received some questions that day via the Ask Dr. Dan form here. Questions that I have addressed before through the years online and at events, but at this time on the heels of the corn-maze story those questions made me think about what many go through trying to find their way through the maze of information and mis-information that you can be overloaded with as you search for the answers for your horses.

At least weekly (if not almost daily) I validate my stance that oats are good for your horses, beet pulp is bad, flax is not recommended, molasses is not needed, don't spray with listerine (yea,I know!), get rid of the blocks and rocks…. I could go on.

You're receiving this email just as my many other emails so you pretty much know my stance on such subjects. If not, you can review the AskDrDan.com blog, DrDanLibrary.com, WormCheck.com DrDanMag.com and especially WhatToFeedYourHorse.com for the consistent information I have shared for years.

Our "Feed For Success" program is as simple as 1-2-3, but the results are much more profound!

From Nickie D…

Well when the lady sent me your magazine and I watched your videos, I bought some Red Cal, the (Weight Check) Oil, and (the)Just Add Oats, (along with Bug Check) I got him off pelleted feed, and on oats plus his grass and hay.

He really went for the Red Cal, had a white nose everyday for awhile. But what a difference in his personality, no more pacing while eating, no more rubbing teeth, and although he has always been loving he is now trusting also ( if that makes sense).

Poor guy, sorry it’s taken me so long to find out what he needed. But now I can see a future in him and will start riding him soon.

Thank You so much, and God Bless You.

Let me emphasize again today, that the "Feed For Success" program has helped so many through the years with challenges and to be proactive against having to ever face many challenges. When adhering to this simple concept and foundation then our highly-beneficial standalone targeted support products are even much more effective when needed.

Click Here To Ask Questions is your 911 connection!

I just want to also let you know that at anytime you feel you too, are lost in a maze of sorts when searching for answers for providing the best for your horses, or even your cats, dogs and yourselves… know that I enjoy the opportunity to connect through every question and answer conversation we have- so please don't ever stop. I'm honored to be considered a source of 911 help to and for so many.

I appreciate your support and hope this upcoming week is great for you all.
