Just wanted to give you another update on Jae, my 21 year old QH mare. It has been about 5 or 6 weeks now since she has been on the slippery elm bark (with chamomile and rose hips added) for her irritable bowel syndrome and she continues to be "dry". If you recall, she had a chronic problem with watery diarrhea like discharge off and on but most recently it had persisted on a daily basis for most of the winter. If I remember correctly, Jae was on the treatment for less than a week when the problem cleared up totally and she has been great ever since. As you suggested I will keep her on the herbs for 12 weeks to insure that any irritation to her intenstinal tract is completely healed.

I am so grateful for your help Catherine. As I mentioned it has been a chronic problem off and on for years and several vets have recommended and tried different things but nothing ever made a difference. Besides having to clean the mess constantly, I worried about her not getting all the nutrients from her feed and what damage might be caused internally. I know it bothered her as well because when it would happen, she would swish her tail and sometimes stamp her foot. I am sure she feels much better!

We are both very grateful to you! Attached please find a picture of her :)

Thank you again!

Susan Lindberg and Jae
