I have an OTTB filly who has been off the track 2.5 months. She had all the signs of ulcers, so I treated with Nexium and tapered. She seemed to rebound when I finished, so I started her on CBD and Equishure, and she is now gobbling down her food and so much happier. She has finished 4 weeks worth of Equishure. Should I taper this down like I did the Nexium? Any suggestions?
Bump. Anyone used Equishure?
I had one of mine on 2 scoops am and 2 pm. I went to 2 am and 1 pm, then 1 am and pm, then 1 pm. I then stopped. Then, I started again. He started exhibiting some of the same behaviors as before the Equishure, so, I put him back on 2 scoops a day for about 2 weeks and am planning on leaving him on one scoop a day.
At the least, I felt like the tapering would give me the opportunity to evaluate him for any negative changes before decreasing the dose again. I left him at the newly lowered dose for one week before lowering it again.
There’s certainly no HARM in tapering. If you’re willing, I’d consider it one of those “won’t hurt, might help” sort of things.
Thanks. I guess I’ll play it by ear. I plan to breed her in the spring, so she is not getting any work now. Appetite is good and she is putting on weight. I’m hoping with a low-stress lifestyle and lots of turnout that I can wean her off the Equishure and CBD once the ulcers heal.
