[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 27456"] Terri, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers...sorry. Maybe I missed your question. I have, I'm postitive, a higher then average knowledge of Vets and Vet med...but I'm not a Vet. I'm fairly sure that 2 1/2 weeks on antibiotics is not long enough to kill the digestive systems bacteria. Many kids, adults, dogs, cats, ect., are routinly placed on antibiotics for 14 days without a problem. Your vet may have been covering all his bases and making a little more money while he was at it... BUT, I'm not trying to second guess your vet. Vet med is a business, any add ons they can sell means more money in the bank. Again, I'm not trying to second guess your vet from afar. I know Vets well enough to have gone though 4 before I found one that I liked and did not make me feel like I was paying for his new truck. when in doubt a second opinion is always wise. My point about your horse was that if she has good weight gain and is putting on muscle her digestive system sound like its working fine. With all the stuff she has been given, MY OPINION FROM WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, is to take her off all the extra for a couple of months and put her on a stable, consistent diet and see if her stool returns to normal. Again I may have missed your question. Not to offend, just my opinion Alan [/QUOTE]
