I read <A HREF="http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=13695" REL="nofollow">this article about deworming</A> the other day and thought about you.

The light Bill has on the shed doesn't quite work sometimes, especially if I take my eyes off her for a second or two.<BR/><BR/>But, I'm wondering if a headlamp might light up the road for biking. Bike lights warn others of my presence, but don't do much for indicating dangers like pot holes and bramble bushes.<BR/><BR/>Interesting about Tonka's possible allergy. Sure do hope this one will abate sooner than the last one did. Catch 22 with killing off the bad stuff and not harming the host. Wondering how he's doing now.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-74076146230316339742009-03-05T22:17:00.000-08:002009-03-05T22:17:00.000-08:00Oh NO!

The last swelling incident happened just after I wormed him, and this one happened after I hit him with a single dose of Panacur earlier this week. There was one worming inbetween with no such reaction so I am not sure whether the two are connected. And if they are I'm not sure if it is a reaction to the wormer or if it is a reaction to the wormer interacting with some parasitic load. When you have a horse with a history of metabolic founder you have to think very carefully about what you pump into them...dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072031429438530210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-26061080712735067952009-03-05T11:30:00.000-08:002009-03-05T11:30:00.000-08:00Headlamps are wonderful, if totally dorky.

Mine hangs off of the gearshifter of my truck, but if I had backyard horses I'd definitely keep a second one in the house.<BR/><BR/>Poor Tonka ... wait, I'm sure he won't mind you slathering it with ointment and scratching his itchies AT ALL.

In December, it seems like the only time you see the horses in daylight is on the weekends.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for daylight savings time!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://southcanyonranch.com" REL="nofollow">South Canyon Ranch</A>Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397607466794618574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-17393189562742370762009-03-05T06:58:00.000-08:002009-03-05T06:58:00.000-08:00Poor Tonka.

My Hitachi power drill has a flashlight component which provides awesome light (as long as I remember to recharge the batteries!), but there are times when handsfree lighting would be helpful!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-54375965693972846412009-03-05T06:29:00.000-08:002009-03-05T06:29:00.000-08:00Not again!
