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 Vicky,
You really don't want to add more flaxseed meal than you're providing in the Glanzen.
I would recommend a product called Daily Start. It is a very potent probiotic, but it's more than that. It contains oligosaccharides, which sigficantly boost the body's immune function.
Keep me posted!

Thank you for your response. Is this something Whiskey would have to have every day or put him on it around 1 week before and 1 week after worming? Thanks so much
Hi Vicky,
It takes some loading, some a week before any stressful situation and every day thereafter, until he is back to normal. Then you can wean him off and see how he's doing.
