Re: [RC] Weather Change Colic - Karen Sullivan


----- Original Message ----- 
From: <bechack@xxxxxxx>

Vets (many I have spoken with) say the # of Colic's increases in
September.....Sudden Weather changes to the cooler?  I try to add
VERY WET beet pulp at that time, Just to add moisture when they might
slow down their drinking.


*Thats what I'm doing right now....can help to add some extra salt too.

Another trick I use which works with my horses is a huge barrel filled
with water....a saucepan of bran floating on the top and again, a good
dose of salt.  They really slurp that down all day......then the salt kicks
in and they go drink a lot of clear water.....
