Patricia asks about “sulfates in my horses diet”

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Dr. Dan

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

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Dr. Dan

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.

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.

Lizbeth asks a feeding question for her Andulusian

Posted on November 9, 2011 by Dr. Dan

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)

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Dr. Dan

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.

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.

Laura asks about horse’s ruptured peroneous tertius tendon

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Dr. Dan

Dear Dr. Dan:

Have you have had a patient with a ruptured peroneous tertius tendon? My 9-year-old KMSH gelding was just diagnosed and has been prescribed at least 3 months stall rest and 10 days of bute. I'm concerned that the combo of bute and the stress of being confined (he's usually out all the time) will cause stomach issues. Do you have any products that would be beneficial for either the inflammation and/or stress? What is the prognosis for this injury, in your experience? Also, do you think 3 months of inactivity is really the right way to go, what with muscle atrophy, stiffness, etc? It feels counterintuitive to me. I'd be really interested in your views, if you have the time. I'm a big fan of yours.

Thanks, Dr. Dan. You're the best.

Laura G.

Hello Laura and thanks for the compliment

I have seen horses recover. I do not believe in stall rest for that long… and of course not fond of bute unless absolutely necessary.

I would suggest our Joint Check, Gut Check and of course along with the feeding program components for best results. I would limit exercise to a large stall to start. The key is to just not let jump around .. just hard to tell on the outcome but I wouldn't give up.

Hope this helps. Keep me posted.

Thanks again.

Eileen asks this for her Horse with soft frogs…

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Dr. Dan

Hi Dr. Dan,

Thanks for all your previous help with my horse and dog. I have another question regarding my horse. He has a history of laminitis, and has very soft frogs, and deep crevices at the back of his frogs up into his bulbs that stay soft and moist and result in thrush. My farrier was here and suggested I use pine tar or turpentine, but I was looking at your Grape Balm Hoof Healer. Would this product be applicable to his current feet issues?

Thanks,

Eileen

Absolutely Eileen.

Grape Balm Hoof Healer has been a great "natural" alternative for many through the years.

Good to hear from you and Thanks for asking!

Dr. Dan

All natural alternative to chemical containing hoof products
Almost every other hoof product on the market contains petroleum, turpentine or acetone and some even formaldehyde. Wouldn’t an all-natural alternative make more sense – especially if it really works? How about if it effectively treats thrush in one or two treatments? What about if it re-moisturizes a hoof in one or two treatments and keeps them that way by using only once or twice a week? Well here it is – even packaged in an easy to use brush jar. Because this product is more like a gel in consistency it doesn’t leave tracks in the barn either. Also it won’t freeze and it doesn’t get thin in the summer. It does smell a little, but this is better than smelling acetone or formaldehyde and it is sure much better for your lungs! It is also great for nail hole dressing.

Janna w/ questions about Laminitis w/ older gelding…

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Dr. Dan

I have a 24-yo App gelding about which I have contacted you before.

This is his second bout with laminitis, the first 4 years ago brought on by hypothyroid IR metabolic issues. His thyroid levels test normal now (thanks to your Critical Care IR product), he is not overweight, has no other presenting symptoms besides obviously very tender feet, although I have noticed that he has lots of gas which is not normal for him.

He has HiMag Red Cal free choice, for about 2 weeks I have been feeding your Laminitis formula, oats, Weight Check oil, and Just Add Oats. There has been no significant improvement yet. The hay that I have available is medium to high quality fertilized coastal and I have it fenced off so he only has access for 2 to 3 hours per day. Our pasture is unfertilyzed but at this point it is overgrazed and we are coming off a significant drought all summer. Because of the drought he has eaten fertilized hay all summer rather than our normal pasture. In addition, we normally feed a small to medium amount of T______ (to provide minerals and vitamins) which is a forage and not a corn-based pelleted feed.

1. Is there anything additional I can do for him to minimize the pain or damages from the laminitis? Would some sort of probiotic be appropriate? 2. Is there a problem with giving Bute for pain and inflammation and/or is there something better you could recommend? 3. How quickly should I expect to see some benefit from the CritCare Laminitis product? 4. What type of forage is best for him now? Unfertilized green grass? Fertilized hay but on a limited basis? Something else you could recommend?

Thank you for any advice or suggestions that you could give me at this point. I am absolutely convinced that your IR product is what saved this horse's life 4 years ago so I have great confidence in your products but I admit I am greatly concerned about his apparent lack of response in this situation.

Hi Janna,

I think the coastal and the T__________ aren't helping things. The T____ is not needed with what you are providing already with the "Just Add Oats" supplement.

Now along with providing oats, I prefer a 50/50 mix of timothy hay and orchard grass.
If hay only- definitely timothy is my preferred (no bermuda), but regardless, try to
get the best "unfertilized" that you can and gradually get switched.

Too much fertilizer in any circumstance is going to be a problem— just going to
increase the need for the RED CAL for sure. Be sure to provide the RED CAL free-choice
24/7 all they want and remove any salt/mineral rocks and blocks. I think for at least
the next couple of weeks I would add a tablespoon of RED CAL to the oats daily.

So for "targeted" support along with the feeding program and Critical Care (Laminitis formula).

I ask you consider the Joint Check, not only for its joint/inflammation support ingredients
but for it's antioxidant properties as well.

The gas suggests that the gut is "out of sorts" and could be the cause of what is going on,
so I'm asking you consider our Gut Check to target the gut until it's back in line.

Very seldom do I suggest bute, as it can lead to potential gut problems. But if you feel you should-
be sure to provide above mentioned Joint Check at least 2 scoops to help "detox". But- personally
I would hesitate using bute at this time with the gut in the condition you described.

I appreciate you asking for my opinion and hope you will consider above. Keep me posted!

Thanks for your support Janna,

Dr. Dan

Margaret with questions about her horses’ challenges…

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Dr. Dan

My 2 horses and mini-hinny were trimmed by a barefoot trimmer too often and too much from 2009-2010.

My 9 year old Paso Fino was walking on his soles and when the vet x-rayed him in October last year (2010) he saw chronic laminitis in the RF (7 deg. rotation), LF and LH (6 deg. rotation) due to the over-trimming.

A year later my hinny and Paso are having severe bouts of lameness. The new farrier works with the vet but trimming now causes lameness and none of my horses have ever had shoes or will. I lime my pastures every year (no fertilizing);pasture plant analysis good;

September fecals were clean on all 3 animals; natural dentist came in September.

I Feed: less than 1/2 cup of M______ P______ Sp_____, P____-T____ Equine F.A./Plus granules which has 6,000 mg of flaxseed oil, Vitamins A, E, Choline, 30 mg of zinc and 30 mcg Selenium, and Med-_____'s D-______ B_____. Everyone has had free-choice Red-Cal since August 30. PLEASE HELP US FROM THE INSIDE OUT. The Paso has multiple sarcoids on his sheath which the vet prescribed XX-Terra for. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS, TOO.

Thank you.

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for making the move to RED CAL- that is the single-most important
step to make in regards to my programs and supplements.

Just to start, I would like to see you consider going all in with the
feeding program ("What To Feed"link below if not seen yet).

I would be in hopes that with the combination of components of
the program along with the targeted Hoof Check supplement and
the Hoof Check Conditioner dressing would make an improvement.

You will not need these supplements you mention. You can stop them with the above.

We do have a "Critical Care" Laminitis formula that is pricey and wonderful,
but I would rather you start with the foundation and the targeted products to
see what level the improvement is.

In addition, for the sarcoids I would use our Grape Balm product topically…
"icky and stinky" but nothing like it!

Again, great on the RED CAL and consider the above. I appreciate you
asking and considering all Margaret. Keep me posted!

Lori with allergy/breathing/joint challenges for her horses and asks about product combinations…

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Dr. Dan

I have a 23 year old qh mare. I have her on your Joint Check but she is now coughing more and she breaks out in hives frequently. Do I need to give her AllerCheck, Joint Check, Bug Check, and Just Add Oats with Oil and Redcal everyday or do some products replace others?

Lori

Hello Lori,

Please know that the feeding program and it's components are important as a proactive
foundation to have in place or if just starting- to build upon. Just as important as the
components to provide is what "not" to to provide.

Like our all natural RED CAL provided free-choice 24/7/365 as they will eat what they need-
RED CAL instead of rocks/blocks (they are junk)… our Weight Check Oil and not depend on
flax and the like when trying to provide omegas (good fats). And of course the Just Add Oats
supplement has got your horse covered in so many ways. If not looked at lately, please review
the "WhatToFeed" link below.

The other products are designed for "targeted" support and designed to work together with the above
and others. The Joint Check you are providing is a wonderful daily product for your 23 year mare and should
always be provided as well.

I will add that Bug Check is more than just a bug product and with it being as little as
about 30 cents a day per horse- I always suggest it for year round use even at a maintenance
level of just a 1/2 an ounce daily.

Now at times it may become necessary to target specific challenges and there is a
need to provide a little extra support to get over a hump. I think Aller Check
should be provided at this time to help with what you describe and as it gets better
possibly reduce as needed.

Just know that the possibility of results increase when the targeted formulas are
combined with the "foundational' feeding program— if no other part of the program
is considered I always hope that one will at least consider the RED CAL and remove
all rocks/blocks. Again revisit the What To Feed link when you can.

Thanks for asking Lori!

Erica asks this about our “Weight Check” Oil…

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Dr. Dan

Hello- I ordered the Weight oil this morning, but I was actually looking for the H2oil. I have used the h2 oil in the past, and it really seemed to help my horses hooves and coat. Will the weight oil help with that also?

Thanks for your time.
Erica

Hello Erica, you are good-to-go with the Weight Check Oil!

It's not often I can make what I have already better, but I did it with
Weight Check Oil. We did carry both for awhile after its introduction
but the Weight Check just became so popular that it wasn't
necessary to carry both. That was about almost 3 years ago.

I might add that next time you order you might also consider the
BUG CHECK— which is more than just a "bug" product and
one of the features we do promote that it is great for the skin and coat.
We also added probiotics to the already great formula.

It's just that Bug Check is so economical and full of goodness we recommend
it for year -round use. Actually can get for as little as about 30 cents a day
for horse.

I appreciate the order and thanks for asking and connecting!

Dr. Dan

Don't Miss: What To Feed Your Horse? http://www.WhatToFeedYourHorse.com

Now… To the Oats also add, our Weight Check Oil supplement.
Essential 3, 6 & 9 Omega Fatty Acids Are Critical To Any Horse's Diet!

Every cell in the body is surrounded by fat which allows nutrients into the cell and waste to get out. The hydrogenated fats found in almost every commercial feed causes cell membranes to become like plastic, preventing this exchange of nutrition and waste.

It's been proven in people that hydrogenated fats cause insulin resistance, obesity, Type2 diabetes, etc. Hydrogenated fats are killing us and killing our horses and pets!

Weight Check Oil is cold-pressed processed (not heat) and contains NO Hydrogenated Or Processed Fats!

It is "Certified GMO-FREE" with oil from the actual soybean itself. There is a difference!

If your horse needs to lose weight or maintain his current weight, give 2 oz per day. If he needs to gain weight you can add more. Extremely palatable. There is nothing else like it!

DIRECTIONS
Horses, Cattle, Sheep and Goats (all classes):

For weight gain—
top dress 4 to 8 oz. per day per 1000 lbs body weight.

For weight control—
top dress 1 to 3 oz. per day per 1000 lbs body weight (maintenance).

Added "Calm Cal-ories"
May Also Benefit:
Athletic Performance, Reproductive Health, Moody Heat Cycles, Milk Production, Body Condition, Coat Condition, Weight Gain, Weight Loss, Increased Stamina, and Muscle Recovery from Exercise.

Available: One Gallon; 2-Month Maintenance Supply and in money-saving sizes and packages.

Kim asks about putting weight on older horse…

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Dr. Dan

I need to know what to feed our aging pony he is late 20's early 30's and he founders easily. He is loosing weight and will not eat all of his hay .

Kim

Hi Kim,

Try soak the hay in water a little if not tried yet.

I would venture to say that thousands of older horses have been helped by our feeding program (link below) Of which a component is our WEIGHT CHECK OIL. When using the weight check oil you use a higher amount as directed for weight gain. And for an older horse I would even suggest our Joint Check product which is a combination of joint support ingredients along with a potent antioxidants.

Again, so many older horses and even foundering have been helped just with above.

If you go to: http://askdrdan.com/?s=older&submit=Search you'll see other discussions about
older horses I have had. be sure to use the "older posts" link at the bottom of each page to see them all!

Keep me posted and thanks for asking Kim!
