A very interesting conversation.......
Just spoke with an equine masseuse (sp) who has worked on Herk in the past and is way into homeopathic, herbal and preventative practices. He suffered Lyme's disease and was really ill for quite...

I've now heard of two more people having respiratory problems as a symptom of Lymes disease. There is now a Physician who is specializing in Lymes disease, and he's finding that there are many...

SIB....an excuse? I doubt you'd even know if your horse(s) are suffering. They are so not through and slaves, they'd just keep on goin as they do know the agony will eventually come to an end pn a...

ANYTHING OF VALUE TO CONTRIBUTE, SIB? ..........I thought so.

my impression of your horse care perspective. Try some seances and/or some healing crystals.......

Last Fall, my mare tested high postive for Lymes on the 'snap' test. I treated aggressively IV oxy-T for two weeks (vet came twice/day) and then another month with Doxy pills. I don't know the...

ToN, you are spot on. When Herc first was diagnosed with Lyme's disease, I only had him a year or so, but he was just plain "down". I knew enough of him to know that he was NQR. I know of some vets...

I think all these diseases are hard to diagnose, because the tests for them can be positive on horses with no symptoms- just like the western blot for EPM. My horse tested highly positive. But in the...

Neens, that is interesting about the sore paw on Marla. I didn't notice any Lyme symptoms on my dog, but now that you mentioned it, he did seem very reluctant to drop down from a step. I thought it...

I spoke with the vet who suggested a pro-active approach.......... But it is costly, and for horses who are traveling alot and competing. Right now, Herc is staying where he is. The weather has taken...

Neens, I'm confused about your situation. Is it the Lyme or some unknown respiratory problem that has you concerned with Herc? Do you think the Lyme and Respiratory problem are connected? I don't...

Yes, ToN, I'm wondering if there is a connection between the Lyme's and the respiratory problem. I haven't slept all night because of this sudden drop in temp and wondering if he'll have the snotty...

Interesting discussion. I have friends with Lymes and it comes and goes. This area is not supposed to have a problem but lots of folks are coming up with problems. Neens how is your horse?

So far no respiratory problems. But he was "down" and did test a very high positive for Lymes. He's starting his second week of Doxy. Within the first 4 days he was back to himself. It is amazing how...

How did things go, hf? My first horse had a mean kick injury on the upper part of his right hind. It swelled to a huge porportion and was hot, and there was an opening like your picture. We couldn't...

Changed antibiotics and the "relocation" did not work. He can rear and run and act like a fool but can't walk. So he is out in absolute SLOP. It has been raining here for weeks. Small paddock. Vet is...

Ugh.......so sorry to hear that. And not a good patient, either, eh? Is that leg still really hot? My experience with the coagulating/clotting blood was the opposite of what would be the normal course...
