   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.

Re: severe arthritis of the hock

Hi Joanne,

Could you send me the website for this aloe product? I'll be happy to look at it for you.

Aloe is a very nutritious food, high in antioxidants, so it certainly would not hurt to feed this to your horse.

I will contact you directly regarding shipping of products.

All the best,

Dr. Getty

Re: severe arthritis of the hock

Hi Joanne,

I sent you an email with a few questions. Yes, it is important to wean him off of bute in order to avoid an ulcer. In the meantime, please add 30 ml of corn oil to each of his meals to help protect against an ulcer.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
