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.

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
