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 Dr. Getty,
I just wanted to write and thank you for recommending the Quiessence. I've had my gelding on it for two months now and have noticed a difference in that his muscles are no longer hard or tense and another positive difference is his behavior - standing quietly and just a nicer attitude. I had the vet out recently and he was amazed how well he has recovered from his bout with PSSM. Thanks again.

Hi Lori and Lisa!
Lori -- thank you so much for the feedback! May I use your comments on my website as a testimonial for Quiessence?
And Lisa -- yes, as we "talked" about privately -- Magnesium is very helpful for relaxing muscle spasms that can be a result of respiratory problems. So, if you decide to use Quiessence, please keep me posted how it is helping. I would also suggest adding DMG to the diet for additional support of curing heaves, along with added antioxidants (PreOx).
Keep me posted,
Dr. Getty
