Horses are hindgut fermenters, highly likely in fact to be more
sensitive to bacterial die off in the gut than cattle, etc. Actually,
rabbits and horses have a lot of similarities, though you can't go quite
so far as to say what is safe for one species is safe for the other. But
horses and lagomorphs are both hindgut fermenters, though horses employ
a single pass system, and rabbits produce cecotrophs which must be
re-ingested: this is how bunnies get their vitamins and nutrients. I hav
read that evolutionarily, the lagomorphs closest relatives are horses.

OK -- so you're saying that Colloidal Silver will kill off the *good*
bacteria in the gut? If so, then it would have to be a quantity thing. I have
been
giving one of my horses a quart of CS a day for almost three years, to treat
EPM. He's not dead, and he's not even thin. I don't know how much you'd have
to give them to affect gut bacteria. MA
