17 | Grass Clippings, Raccoons, & Blister Beetles

Dr. Nichols shares some personal experiences this week around blister beetles, why you should never feed grass clippings to horses and why you should “raccoon-proof” your feed room. In addition, she offers up the trouble-shooting technique she used to figure out why two of her horses went off feed at the exact same time. 

Show Notes:

ADR Powder – megadose prebiotic and probiotic supplement that Dr. Nichols uses to help regain appetite in horses. It is especially helpful for horses that are stressed from a new environment, on antibiotics, or being given NSAIDs (i.e. bute, banamine).
