RE: [RC] selenium toxicity - Susan & Jerry MilamSelenium toxicity exhibits changes in the hair and hoof structure, but don't know if that's a late change or an early sign- probably later than early. You need to geta blood sample to be sure and it's not that expensive. Just do it. susan -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alice Yovich Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 10:24 PM To: ridecamp Subject: [RC] selenium toxicity I have been treating my mare with selenium at the advice of an alternative medical practioner. We didn't do blood work and based on her EPM dx, it was supposed to help improve her muscle function. She's had some other lameness issues and I'm wondering if those could be due to selenium. I did pull it from her diet and she seems better, but I don't know how quickly an improvement would be made from NOT supplementing selenium. Anyone have any words on this subject?
