Things seem to be improving. He is getting
2 cups of the hay pellets soaked, now with 2 oz sky big, 2 oz calcium
bentonite clay and 1/2 oz of hi-trax formula. This is reduced from the 4
oz of clay with 4 oz of big sky, as you prescribed. His withers are not
as sore now, but the back at the base of the withers is still quite
sore.
I tried the mineral acupressure points
that Dr Golob describes in his DVD. Calcium, manganese, copper and
internal parasites produced a positive test. After 2 weeks on the big
sky minerals he shows no response to the calcium, manganese or internal
parasite points, and only a slight response to the copper point. Major
improvements!
His liver point still is sensitive, though it seems it is less positive than a month ago.
I
tried the ulcer acupressure point that you describe in your book, which
had a strong positive result 2 weeks ago. Now it is much less, but
still slightly positive.
I've been doing daily
exercises with him that Dr. Golob recommends: the butt tuck, filling
the hunter's bump, the wither lift and the neck telescope. It seems that
the divot where the base of the neck meets the shoulder is much more
supple now than 3 weeks ago. There are still 2 noticeable, hard knots in
his neck on either side, though they are not as solid as they were 3
weeks ago.
His movement has certainly
improved. While he still tracks up a little short initially in the trot,
he is much more limber starting out than before. It also takes much
less time to warm up into a fluid, properly tracking trot with snorts.
The canter seems to have improved also, especially to the right. He
still will pick up the incorrect lead occasionally, and only cross fires
to the left. It seems having a saddle on exacerbates the issue, but I
need to test this theory more.
Thanks so much for any guidance!
Sincerely,
Anna
