Re: [RC] Preventing Scratches-SMZ - firedancefarms

Please be careful with SMZ and giving antibiotics.  I had two horses colic from SMZ pills, and both did not survive.  An antibiotic not only kills the bad bacteria, it also kills the good bacteria, which may include the bacteria that helps a horse digest its food.
SMZ is also a human antibiotic used for respiratory infections.
