Symptoms of postpartum depression are similar to what happens normally following childbirth. They include difficulty sleeping, appetite changes, excessive fatigue, decreased libido, and frequent mood changes.
If your horse needs a topical medication along with a pain reliever, your veterinarian may have you apply a dimethyl sulfoxide, or DMSO, solution. DMSO is quickly absorbed through the skin and is especially good at relieving swelling, as it pulls moisture from tissues.
So, got some good info from pattnic last night-from back issues of The Horse Journal. They state that the optimum dosage for horses with pain issues is 20,000mg :eek:. I've always tried to reach the 10,000 mg mark :). Just curious what others use.
