I´ve started to give Milva Psyllium Seeds today. In swedish it´s called loppfrö. Now when the snow is melting and the horses are starting to graze I´m concerned that Milvs could get a sandcolic. Feeding Psyllium seeds should prevent that.
Milva wasn´t too happy about it though and I had to handfeed her.
It´s a sunny day here today. I decided to play outside today and Milva just loved it. We played touch-it on a long line and she put her nose on all kind of things like a blue sledge, garbagecan, horsetrailers, stones, shouvels,...
We also went for a short time in to the stable. I put her in the same aisle as last time when the ferrier trimmed her hooves. As soon as getting there I could see how tensed and worried she got. Even the white in her eyes came out. I fed her some carrots and left again. Going into that stupid stable has to become a daily habbit now for us I guess. Milva has my fullest sympathy though. I hate being in there as well!
I gave Star some Psyllium last Summer but in powder. Mixed in her feed, she couldn't see the difference.
ReplyDeleteI stopped when winter came and because she is now on clay and there is no sand.
Now we're moving to a very sandy area so she'll be back on Psyllium. I like the powder version, can you find that in Sweden? Milva may prefer that. xoxox
