Hi Gaya. We've lost animals to disease over the years and have decided to give all the creatures the opportunity to get CDS to avoid illness. Cds goes in all the water buckets. They have the choice of the ponds or puddles, but none have baulked at the CDS.

Hi Paul
Thanks for the info how much do you put in a bucket? strength? I love to have a go at it. Do your horses have shoes on or are they barefoot and what do you do against fungus under hoofs, hoofwals, ulcers and rainscall and wogs on skin in hair. I have only one horse and she seems to have hardly any of these problems but other horse owners are struggling with all these things and somethimes badly. I like to see if I can figure something out to be helpfull. What are your experiences would you mind passing this on to me?

Hi Gaya. He gets 200 ml @ 3000 ppm in a 20 L pail. He's barefoot and has a reasonably dry 10 acres/4ha to use. 'Hoof rot' hasn't been a problem, but if it were I would probably try MMS2 first as it's less expensive - 50gm in 10L- in a 20 L pail- and see how long he'll stand in it. :>) .
He's only been on it since New Year, so I'll be interested to see how he makes out with Bot fly this summer. No experience with the other problems you mentioned.

thanks very helpfull info, happy horsing

Hi.
I just notice that my horse has problems with her hoof and I like to give her CDS but I do not want her to overdose seeing they can not vomit. Can you tell me how much CDS they are getting in a day to drink. I see they have options to choose from but how much do you put in a bucket of 20 liters.
Any other advice you have when I think she had a ulcer under her foot or bruising not sure but she has difficulties walking.
Many thanks
Gaya

Hi Amanda
Thanks for the info, just wondering does your son uses it topical, I have been reading a lot about dmso on horses and they find it to hot.... itchy etc. When DMSO is mixed with water to dilute it to 60% then it will be heating up and think that would feel like a burn to the horse. Is it possible to get a bit more info from you Son can i email him or is he not behind the computer. Laminitis etc is a big problem were we live with our lush dairy farm land so would be good to get something on paper to present to the horse people.
Thanks

my son puts the DMSO in a spray bottle or makes a DMSO poltice, he sprays or puts the poltice on the hoof and leaves it for 5-10 minutes and rinses with a clean water spray bottle of water, he has also used a DMSO gel, both work equally well, he says do this twice daily to reduce the swelling, he says it works well with laminitis but try to keep them off rich grass and bring them in for a day or two. He works with the race horses at Lingfield. Also he did say that he has no problem with buring when doing it this way.

What's the formula for the poultice?

I use 99% DMSO sprayed on outside of hooves prevents cracking etc. Also use 20 drops CD in 3 0z 99% dmso and spray Under hoof and ankles and legs around arthritis soaking then rubbing it in. I don't rinse. Walking is improved. Also have used on myself many times 10 CD 10 99% DMSO works great. A person could be allergic to DMSO and skin sensitivites very but this works well for many.
