Re: Supplements

Hello Dorothe,

Thank you for your patience.

The SuPer DMG3000 will work well. It is in a dextrose (sugar) base, but it is minimal.

I'll look forward to speaking with you and we can discuss if Quiessence is beneficial. It is definitely appropriate for insulin resistant horses.

I'm delighted that you are finding my book, Feed Your Horse Like A Horse, to be helpful.

Best regards,

Dr. Getty

Dr. Getty, thank you for your quick reply. I would like to talk to you personally and will contact you within the next few weeks. In the meantime I'll take your advice about the supplements. Cooper was diagnosed with heaves, but has not had an attack since August. I am wetting his hay and have given him additional DMG. I noticed that he is only coughing under stress and since I moved both horses to another barn, he didn't have any more issues. Which DMG would you recommend, the Vita Flex DMG 3000 or Super DMG Ultra? I also would like to give both my horses Quiessence, as Cooper has fatty deposits. I'll have him tested for IR before I'll talk to you and try to have a hay analysis.
Thank you again, I'll look forward to talk to you personally.
I love your book by the way, it has helped me a great deal already.

Where are you from? Bayfield, CO
