I have a 9 year-old Irish Sport Horse that had Nephrosplenic (renosplenic) Ligament Entrapment (NSE) last year. I read the article concerning lap treatments.
The vet hospital (a very fine one) was able to medically convert him. They felt that maybe gas had floated the bowel upward. Anyway, he usually is a a gassy sort of fellow. They recommended I might try Succeed.
He still appears to be gassy on it, although not as much, is there anything else I might try that would be effective and not as costly?
He was scoped for ulcers and has none, he does not have a worm issue, his blood work was excellent, etc., etc., He is stabled, but is ridden or lunged everyday, never is not out of his stall everyday. He goes out to play weather permitting on grass pasture, usually 3-4 hours, which is plenty for him, as he will be a blimp otherwise.
He is 17 hands and weighs 1275lbs, he eats 1/2 lb of Purina's Horsemens Edge High Fat 2 times a day and is fed 4 times a day 1st cutting, grass hay 2 big flakes (so 8 flakes a day). He was imported from Ireland where he wasn't fed a lot of grain.
I just have him for pleasure, we try to do dressage.
Any Advice appreciated....
