[RC] Selenium levels - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kathy Klein Findaklein@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Kathy KELLY, I saw your post. I had a mare that had very low selenium levels (along with low thyroid and muscle soreness). oral supplements did not help her levels come up. We got her thyroid back on track and that made no difference either. We then went to the injectable E SE (this was all vet supervised and prescribed with appropriate testing done). Nothing helped her. I will make a very long story (which I hope to write down someday so we can all learn from my sad experience)very short..my mare had PSSM , or EPSM (same thing) a glycogen storage disease and a common symptom is very low, almost non existant, selenium levels. I don't know if your horse has any other symptoms of this disease, but it took us years to figure out what was really wrong with her. The only test for EPSM is a muscle biopsy. It is a remote possiblitly due to your not seeing a change in the levels, so you might want to research it further. Hope it helps you (: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
