Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.

Hello Aman,
There are a few things you can do for COPD. First, make sure her bedding is not dusty and it is kept clean. She also needs to have fresh, clean water available at all times. And, it may help to wet her hay before feeding it to her, in order to remove any dust.
The best supplements you can offer her are antioxidants – vitamins C and E in particular. There is also a product called Noni Juice, if you have it available in your area, that is very helpful.
Thank you for writing!
All the best,
Dr. Getty
