Any suggestions on protein supplements? My mare has tentatively been diagnosed with type 2 pssm. What protein or amino acid supplements do you use?
I give Tri-Amino to my PPID hinny and PPID Appendix gelding–has helped with catabolic muscle wasting. Butts on both have rounded out some, and they no longer have that “sagging tent roof” look from behind.
Whey protein powder - yep, the human stuff! - has been a godsend for a lot of Type 2 horses. I’m sure it can be sourced cheaper in bulk than going to GNC and getting pure whey protein powder.
My horse isn’t PSSM, but he does do better with an amino acid supplement. I just wanted to give you a couple other brands that are identical to Tri Amino (good to keep your eyes open for sales!).
