SARAH: Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to year two of
our Ask the Vet video series.
I'm here with SmartPak Staff
Veterinarian and Medical
Director, Dr. Lydia
Gray, back to answer
some more of your questions.
After taking a month off
for rest and relaxation--
DR LYDIA GRAY: Holidays.
SARAH: And all of
the crazy holiday
gifting that happens
around here at SmartPak,
we are back to answer
some more questions,
and we have a surprise.
As promised, because
we took a month off,
we have bonus questions
for you this month.
Both Dr. Gray and myself
selected our favorite questions
that were not answered
over the past year.
They were submitted, but
never voted to the top.
So we used our
executive authority,
we're voting them up, and
we're going to answer them.
DR LYDIA GRAY: We're going
to talk about them today.
SARAH: But because the best
gifts come in small packages,
those will be in
a separate video.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Ah, you
got to wait for it.
SARAH: Because otherwise,
as you guys know,
we kind of get into
the topics on these.
DR LYDIA GRAY: We
get a little chatty.
SARAH: These can
get a little long.
So those will be coming
soon, you have to stay tuned.
I would recommend subscribing
to our YouTube channel
so you never miss out.
For now, we're going to go
back to our normal format.
We're going to answer the
top five questions that
were submitted and then
voted up by fans and viewers
and SmartPak shoppers like you.
So thank you for your questions.
As a reminder, you
can ask questions
on Twitter, Instagram,
Facebook, YouTube.
You can email them to
CustomerCare@SmartPak.com.
You can comment in
the blog, you can
comment on posts on YouTube.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Can
they send us a drone?
SARAH: Probably, but it
might spook the horses,
so please be thoughtful.
And always use hashtag
#AskTheVetVideo.
Even if you're sending a
handwritten note attached
to a drone, so
that we can always
catalog all the questions, make
sure we don't miss anything.
If your question gets
voted into the top five,
that you will not only get
an answer in the video,
you will also get a
SmartPak gift card.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yes.
SARAH: Which is pretty great.
So believe it or not,
there are some people
who have not claimed that
outstanding SmartPak gift card.
So if you have one, if
you've had a question that's
been answered previously,
email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com
and we'll get it all
taken care of for you.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Get going.
SARAH: All right.
All that said, are you ready?
First question of year two.
DR LYDIA GRAY: I'm rested
and-- yeah, let's go.
SARAH: OK, the first
question of year two
is, "Do you like
my new C4 belt?"
DR LYDIA GRAY: I do.
I noticed it when you were
walking down the hall,
yeah, I do, yeah.
SARAH: Thank you,
I appreciate that.
SmartPak sells these,
you can switch out
the buckles and the belt color.
And it's one size fits most,
so you just trim it down
to fit your own size,
which is pretty awesome.
I'm pretty excited about it.
That's what I would have
used a SmartPak gift
card on if I'd won it.
So submit your question, you
get a discount on a C4 belt.
DR LYDIA GRAY: That's right.
SARAH: Now the
first real question.
DR LYDIA GRAY: The
first real question, OK.
SARAH: OK, this was submitted
by Rochelle on YouTube.
And Rochelle asked,
"What is the difference
between founder and laminitis?"
DR LYDIA GRAY: I think
that's an excellent question
and I get that a lot.
And I know people
think it a lot,
but they think it's a
stupid question maybe,
and don't want to ask it.
But this person did,
so brave on her part.
So laminitis is
generally accepted
as the acute situation.
And founder is
chronic laminitis,
especially once some
mechanical changes
have occurred in the foot.
Like the rotation or the
sinking that you hear about.
So-- and it's not
even that simple.
Because laminitis--
there's three stages.
There's the developmental,
so some insult or injury
happens to the
laminae in the foot.
And you don't even know
about it, but it's cooking,
it's stewing, it's building.
So that's the developmental
phase and that
can be a few hours or days.
And then you enter
into the acute phase.
And that can be
from the first time
that signs appear to about 72
hours, which is three days-ish.
After that, you enter
into the chronic phase.
And so that's from 72
hours on, or it begins
when physical changes occur.
So maybe your veterinarian
takes radiographs
and you see the
bone in the foot,
the coffin bone pulling
away from the hoof wall,
so the sinking.
Or even worse, the whole coffin
bone just sinks to the bottom.
So this is a rotation
and this is sinking.
And we tend to think of
those physical changes
in the foot as founder
and then the development
in the acute stage as laminitis.
Although they are used
interchangeably and that's
not wrong, but if you want to
get down to the nitty-gritty,
that's how it's described.
SARAH: Is it fair to say all
founder started as laminitis--
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yes.
SARAH: But not all
laminitis becomes founder.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yes, I
like that, I'm going
to steal that for next time.
SARAH: That's awesome.
DR LYDIA GRAY: It's good, yeah.
SARAH: Do you ever have anything
like founder and laminitis
that you had a hard
time telling apart?
Because for me, I had
two when I was a kid.
And they're both
kind of weird, one
was sweaters and sweatshirts.
I was not confident.
DR LYDIA GRAY: I'm
good with that one.
SARAH: Well, I am now, too.
Thanks--
DR LYDIA GRAY: Oh, OK.
SARAH: For making it seem
like that might not be true.
And the other one, ironically,
for working at SmartPak,
was magazines and catalogs.
And I just was--
like, I was always
nervous I was going
to use the wrong term.
DR LYDIA GRAY: I'm still not
sure I understand that so I'm
going to go with that one.
SARAH: OK.
DR LYDIA GRAY: I'm like, there's
a difference between magazines
and catalogs?
SARAH: Well, catalogs
sell you things
and you know it's happening.
Magazines are selling you
things and you're not supposed
to know it's happening.
But I think some magazines
are not as subtle as others.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Oh, well, see?
SARAH: There you have it.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Education.
SARAH: All right.
More fun facts about me.
Our next question is
submitted by Lolli on YouTube.
And Lolli's wondering,
"During the winter,
it is hard to find hay
for sale in my area."
Hay for sale that you
can afford, probably.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Right, yeah.
SARAH: It gets tough everywhere.
"So I feed my 12-year-old
mare beet pulp.
I have read that beet pulp
lacks in nutrition and vitamins.
Is there a better
alternative for beet pulp
or some sort of supplement
I could be feeding her
in addition to beet pulp?"
DR LYDIA GRAY: OK, so
we get to see these.
We get to watch them get
voted up and down and that.
So I gathered some beet
pulp, just in case.
All right, so this
is the dry stuff.
And if you could
grab one of the pans,
I think it'll be easier to see.
Mine at home that
I get is more--
it's bigger.
This is smaller but it's
the shredded version.
It also comes in
pelleted version.
And so it's dry.
And so what most people do is--
SARAH: It's getting
a little dusty.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Is
they add water to it.
So let's show them
the other one.
What I did was, I went online
and I found some recipes
for cooking beet pulp.
SARAH: I'm glad that vets
also use Google sometimes.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Oh, yeah.
And most of them said
one part of beet pulp
and two parts of
water, or submerge it.
So that's what I did.
And I used my kitchen
polder, my scale,
which goes to four
pounds, to weigh out.
This amount in here was
one pound of dry beet pulp.
So it's very, very light.
So the scoop method
of weighing or feeding
is really not appropriate
for beet pulp.
You have to weigh it.
All right, here
we go, you ready?
So, all right--
So this is what
it looks like wet.
And--
SARAH: Oh, it smells good.
DR LYDIA GRAY: It does,
it smells wonderful.
We decided that this is not very
wet, this is just, just wet--
moistened, almost.
And different horses like
it different-- like some
like it just moistened and if
it gets any wetter than this,
it's sloppy.
They turn their nose up
and they don't like it,
so you've got to kind of figure
out what your horse likes.
OK, so that's what
it looks like.
SARAH: Is there any like, risk
to feeding it completely dry?
Like there's the old wives'
tale that if you throw rice
at a wedding a
pigeon will eat it
and the stomach will expand--
and exploding pigeons.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah.
SARAH: Is there any risk like
that with beet pulp, or is it
like oatmeal where if you
can stomach eating it dry,
go for it.
But add as much water as you
want to make it palatable.
Is it kind of--
DR LYDIA GRAY: The
short answer is no.
The long answer is, there's
certainly out there the myth
that if you feed dry beet pulp
it will expand in the stomach
and explode.
And that's just a
myth, that is not true.
There's another belief
that horses will choke--
they're more likely to choke
if they're fed dry beet pulp.
That also has not ever been
proven, but if it concerns you,
and you can't sleep at night,
by all means feed it wet.
I mean, there's nothing
wrong-- the only thing
wrong with feeding it wet
is, say, in the summer,
if it gets really
warm where you are.
You don't have very
long from soaking it--
and this was about a half hour
of soaking which is what most
recipes recommend--
if you leave it
wet somewhere warm,
it will mold and sour
and do all those things.
And that's-- you don't want
to feed your horse that.
That is the only reason
that you wouldn't wet it.
In the winter,
then of course, you
have to worry about freezing.
But-- If, you know, by all
means, if dry concerns you,
feed it wet.
So her question also dealt
with the nutrition of it.
SARAH: Yes.
DR LYDIA GRAY: And as you
know, I feed a lot of it.
I mean, I walk
through with this.
And we're going to give
this to somebody at the end,
we're not just
going throw it away.
So nutritionally it is
somewhere between hay and grain.
It's high-calorie
because it's a form
of highly digestible fiber.
Some fiber is mostly bulk and
it goes in, and it goes out,
and it's not digested.
This is digested
into volatile fatty
acids, which the horses uses
as it's main source of energy.
So we like it for
the hard keepers.
It puts weight on those
skinny thoroughbreds,
and nothing puts weight
on for the old horses.
It's great for old
horses that can't
chew because their
teeth have grown out.
It's good for heave-y horses.
Here's my Newman fact.
I can't put hay, even wet or
soaked in the trailer any more
with him.
So I make up a batch,
a pan, of beet pulp.
Well, now he knows
the beet pulp is
waiting for him in the trailer.
So I can barely get the doors
open before he's in there
and he's like, close
it, close, let's go!
And he's got his
head buried in there,
so there's lots of
reasons to feed beet pulp.
Easy keepers feed it.
SARAH: You mentioned
it breaks down
into volatile fatty acids--
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yep.
SARAH: Which people tend
to think of fat as a cooler
source of energy for horses.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah.
SARAH: So like those hard
keepers thoroughbreds,
instead of upping the grain,
which can make horses excited,
would you think that beet
pulp would be a good option?
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah, because
this is low-sugar starch.
So it's great for those horses
who get a little-- you know,
like kids on candy.
But because it's
low-sugar starch,
the easy keepers do
well with it, too.
Because that's a
trigger for them.
They're maybe-- they're
insulin resistant,
they have Equine Metabolic
Syndrome or PPID, Cushings
or something.
So lots of horses can
benefit from this.
The rule of thumb
is, no more than 25%
of your hay, your forage,
can be substituted.
SARAH: OK.
DR LYDIA GRAY: So you
cannot feed just beet pulp.
25%, I did all the
math before I came,
so if you've got a
thousand pound horse
and you're feeding 2%
of the body weight.
So 20 pounds of hay a day,
about five pounds of beet pulp
is your maximum, because
of the nutrition.
So it's high in calories,
it's high in digestible fiber.
It's kind of low-ish on protein,
and it has very little vitamins
and minerals.
That's the problem, it creates
a nutritional imbalance.
It's not complete and balanced
if you feed it by itself.
SARAH: But isn't
it true that hay
doesn't have a whole lot of
those vitamins and minerals.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Hay has--
depending on where it's grown
and what kind of hay it is,
it can have minerals.
Like, this is a
little bit unbalanced
when it comes to
calcium-phosphorus.
So the ratio in beet
pulp is 10 to one.
And hays can be one
to one, two to one.
You know, alfalfa can be higher.
But-- so that's
a problem, as far
as the amount of
other nutrients.
So she should look, this
person, for some hay replacement
beyond beet pulp.
Use the beet pulp, which
you can, and then look
for the hay stretcher pellets,
chopped hay is good, hay cubes.
The horses need
that scratch factor
in their diet to be
healthy in the hindgut.
So no more than 25%
of the beet pulp.
It does have calories,
but it's not quite
balanced in the
calcium-phosphorus,
and doesn't quite have
enough vitamins and minerals.
SARAH: OK.
DR LYDIA GRAY: So, I
think we covered it all.
SARAH: And we got to cook.
DR LYDIA GRAY: I know.
SARAH: "Cooking."
Our third question was submitted
by Brenda Theresa on Instagram,
and they are wondering "Tips
or favorite supplements
for when mares are cranky
and on their cycle?"
DR LYDIA GRAY: Right.
I joke that I have the
moodiest gelding ever.
So clearly, not a mare, but--
so the first thing
I would say is,
work with your veterinarian,
work with your trainer.
And make sure that
the mare is actually--
that the problems
that you're seeing,
whether it's performance--
you know, poor performance,
girthiness, back soreness,
other soreness, and
just general irritation.
Make sure they're
related to her heat cycle
and not some other medical
problem or training problem.
So that's the first thing.
And you know what that involves?
Keeping a journal.
You've got to keep
track of when she
does these negative behaviors
and when she's in heat.
And when she's not in heat and
try to establish a pattern.
That's very, very important.
So if that happens,
your veterinarian
does have some
prescription medications
that he or she can suggest.
There are some supplements,
and most of them
carry things like
raspberry leaves,
chaste berry,
cramp bark, yarrow.
All things that are
intended to create
a balanced hormonal system.
Many of them affect
the smooth muscle.
They resolve spasm and pain.
Some supplements for
mares include magnesium,
for that very reason.
They are helping to resolve
any muscle tightness
that there might be.
So there are some medications,
there are some supplements,
there are some other
things you can do.
But I would start with
making sure that this really
is a mare heat issue.
Rule out other
physical things first.
You know, it could be ulcers,
it could be back soreness,
kissing spines, who knows?
Don't just jump to the mare.
SARAH: Yeah, it's not nice to--
DR LYDIA GRAY: It's not fair.
SARAH: No, stereotype
your mares that way.
DR LYDIA GRAY: That's
right, that's right.
SARAH: So Kate the Great is
asking our fourth question
on YouTube.
"How can sand colic be
avoided in the months
with less rain for fresh grass?"
DR LYDIA GRAY: Hmm, sand colic.
This is kind of a
two-part question, too.
You want to prevent it.
And then you also-- if
you can't prevent it,
you've done everything
you can and you're still
worried about it, or you know
your horse is still getting it,
then how do you help
manage it, or resolve it?
SARAH: So prevent
the sand-eating,
but if you can't
do that, you also
need to manage the sand
that has been eaten.
DR LYDIA GRAY: And most
people I know do both,
it just helps them
sleep better at night.
So preventing it is obviously,
not feeding your horse
on the ground.
So I know people that use rubber
mats, they use hay feeders,
they use hay nets.
They just don't allow their
horse to eat off the ground
and consume--
while they're trying to get that
last little shnivel of grain
or hay or whatever, they don't
pick up some dirt or sand
at the same time.
So that's the first thing.
The second is do what you can
to maintain healthy pastures.
So avoid overgrazing too
many horses in one area.
Rotate when the
grass gets low enough
that they're ripping
it out by the roots
and then getting
some dirt in it.
You know, maintain your pastures
with watering and fertilizing
and all those things.
And I know it's different in
different parts of the country.
So some people are like, "What?
My pastures are this tall!"
And some are like, "Mine
is eaten down, dead."
So a little bit of that.
But there are also
things you can
do if you keep your horse full
when they go out to pasture,
they might not just attack it.
So feed them before
they go out and they'll
be like, well, I'm
going to nibble
and graze and walk around,
but I'm going to, you know,
go for it and gorge myself.
That that could help.
And then the second
part is, what do you
do also at the same time?
You feed them psyllium.
There's lots of research
on psyllium alone,
and psyllium with some other
things like pre and probiotics.
And the thing is--
SARAH: What is psyllium?
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah,
so with the beet pulp,
we talked about soluble fiber.
So it's another kind
of soluble fiber.
You can also call it a mucilage.
The thing about psyllium
is, and I tried to get some,
but it really made a mess.
So I was thinking of you today.
SARAH: Ha ha, thank you.
DR LYDIA GRAY: When you wet--
when you wet psyllium,
and by wetting psyllium,
I mean once the horse eats
it, because you feed it dry.
It turns into a
gooey, slimy mess,
which is great, because
then it gathers up the sand.
Collects it as it passes on
through and takes some out,
that's how it works.
But only if you feed it in
a relatively large amount
once a day for about a
week or seven days a month.
If you feed psyllium
daily, so you'll
see it in some hindgut
support supplements.
If you feed a
small amount daily,
it acts more like
a prebiotic, which
is the food for the microbe
organisms that live in the gut.
So don't feed psyllium daily if
your intention is to gather up
sand and move it out.
Because the bacteria and the
other organisms in the gut
will then take it and
use it, and then it's
not available for the sand.
So you want to just
use it sporadically
in larger amounts to
gather, collect up the sand
and move it on out.
SARAH: If you're feeding
it daily in like,
a hindgut support
supplement and the bacteria
are used to eating it, and then
you do want to do one of those
purges because you're
introducing it in larger
quantities, would that be OK?
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah.
SARAH: OK, so you can use
the two in conjunction, OK.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Absolutely
and there's one more test
that I didn't do today
that we could have.
You can gather up about
five or six fecal balls,
gather from the
middle of the pile
and let the ones that
are touching the ground,
because those are contaminated.
SARAH: Already sandy.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah,
more contaminated.
And then put them in some sort
of container, add a quart or so
of water, stir, let it sit.
And then if there's
sand, because it's
heavier than the manure,
it'll sink to the bottom
and then you'll know if
your horse has sand or not.
It's kind of a crude
test, but it's fun
to do, except not
here with our--
SARAH: Probably not in the
studio and probably not
at the office, when you have
to go in to a meeting right
after this.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah.
SARAH: That's less great.
And use a different spoon than
you use for your beet pulp.
Your horse will thank you.
Our last question for our
first video of the new year--
DR LYDIA GRAY: OK.
SARAH: Is question
five, submitted
by Armored Wings on YouTube.
"My dad is going to retire
from the military, probably
in March next year.
And for us that means we have
to haul my horse from North
Carolina to Texas where
we plan to keep him
at my grandparents' house.
Are there any vaccinations and
tests I need to have for him
before we go, and what do I
need to look out for health-wise
once we get there?
We've always done
cross-country moves
before but never with a horse."
How exciting.
DR LYDIA GRAY: What
a super question
and very exciting for you,
and your dad, and your horse.
SARAH: And thank your dad
for his service, please.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah.
So North Carolina to Texas
is about half the country.
I have no idea how long this
takes, but more than 12 hours.
Because-- And 12
is key because 12
is what the experts
say a horse should not
travel any longer than.
And if they're in the
trailer for 12 hours going,
then they need a break
of at least eight hours.
So keep that in mind.
But even before then,
there's lots of things
that you'll need to do.
You'll need to
work with your vet
where you are in North Carolina,
and get health papers, a health
certificate.
We call this
officially, Certificate
of Veterinary Inspection.
You'll have to have
a Coggins, and there
may be some other
paperwork, some states
require entry permit.
But your veterinarian
will know all this,
and he or she will be
in contact with the vets
in the state you're going to.
There's a system, we all work
together, it's really nice.
You just need to
work with your vet.
Know your horse's normal.
If there's any medication
or supplements, bring those.
Bring as much of your own hay,
grain, and water as you can.
Practice beforehand, so
make sure your horse loads.
If you're going to ship in
boots or bandages or blankets
make sure your horse wears
all those comfortably
and confidently.
I have a list here of things.
This list comes
from a blog article.
So I think we should
include the link
to this article at
the end of this,
because I'm for sure going
to forget some things.
SARAH: Or perhaps right here.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Right, right.
In addition to during
the trip, you know,
you want to make sure that your
horse can clear his airways.
So, in short trips--
and short trips
are considered less
than three hours.
Short trips, it might
be OK to tie a head up.
But a long trip, you don't
want to tie the head up.
But it depends a
little bit on how
you horse rides in the
trailer and the configuration
of your trailer.
So, you know, the
two-horse straight load
versus a three-horse slant,
versus an open trailer,
they're all a little
bit different.
So you have to take all these
things into consideration.
Because when you get there,
and you ask, you know,
how do I make sure he's healthy?
Like, what do I look for
when I get there, afterwards?
You want to take their
temperature each day.
And it's going to take at
least three days for him
of just turn out,
and not riding,
and just leave him alone.
Just observe him, but don't
ask him to do anything.
And each of those days,
and perhaps longer, you
should take his temperature.
And that's going to be
your best indicator of,
did he make this trip OK?
But he-- I will tell you, he
is going to lose some weight.
He is going to be dehydrated.
So anything you can do to
help those ahead of time.
Make sure he has plenty of hay,
forage, roughage - the scratch
factor - through
the trip and after.
We tend to cut
down on the grain.
Beet pulp might be
a super feedstuff,
because you want to provide
calories to reduce the weight
loss, but you don't want the
sugars and starches of grain.
So I would say beet pulp and
get your horse started early,
so about 7 to 10 days before
the trip start introducing
small amounts of beet pulp.
Because it's like
any other feed,
you don't just throw
it in in large amounts.
And then encourage
drinking, both on the trip--
So stop and offer water
about every four hours.
And also encourage drinking by
adding electrolytes or salt.
And because they don't build
up in the body or stay,
you want to just start like
the day before, and the day of.
each day you're traveling,
and the couple of days after.
So maybe a week to
keep them drinking.
Because hydration and not
losing too much weight
and then not having
an infection and being
able to clear the airways.
Those are the health
things I think of.
Your vet can help you
with everything else.
And then you just have
to make a packing list
and gather everything
that you need.
But--
SARAH: I want to jump
back to one of the things
that you called out, was
bringing your own hay
and grain.
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yes.
SARAH: And I think that this
is something that people often
don't really think about.
They think all hay is
hay, all grain is grain.
People even going to
weekend horse shows.
The trailer space is so limited,
the truck space is so limited,
and you're tempted
to just say, "We'll
buy hay when we get there.
We'll buy grain
when we get there."
Can you talk about why it's
so important to bring your own
and make that slow transition?
DR LYDIA GRAY: I think
people have in their heads
that changing grain
is a bad thing.
And so they'll bring grain, but
the research says that changing
grain quickly,
suddenly, leads to--
It causes a five--
it increases your horses
risk of colic by five times.
SARAH: And is that
not just the type
of grain, but also the amount?
DR LYDIA GRAY: It's
everything, it's everything.
Just changing grain.
The interesting thing, though,
is when you change hay--
amount, type, cutting,
any of those--
it increases your horse's
risk of colic by 10 times.
And the reason
for that is, grain
is digested by your
horse in his stomach
and small intestines,
the foregut.
Hay is digested by the
bacteria and the microorganisms
in the hindgut,
and they tend to be
shocked when you
give them something
completely new as a foodstuff.
Now we might like it,
different things at every meal,
bacteria don't.
They like the same thing
every day, every meal.
So they get shocked and
that's when chaos ensues
and colic and laminitis.
So you've got to be especially
careful with the hay, that
really ups your risk.
SARAH: Excellent,
really good advice.
And it sounds like she has
plenty of time to prepare
for that move in March, so--
DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah, yeah.
SARAH: Good time to ask
the question and good luck
on the move.
