Hey guys, A while back I saw a post on MSM for allergies, and I'd like to know if you think it might be helpful to a pony with allergies, and if so how much of it can I safely give a 600lb pony? I'm giving her CS too, and at one point was going to try to nebulize the CS but never got a chance to build some sort of "bag" to neb her with.
TIA for any ideas.
PS she's already somewhat grey so I doubt I would notice any changes due to CS if there were any.

Hi,

We've been giving our senior horse a quart a day for a couple of years as a
preventive measure.  He's still the original color.

 First of all, if they are talking about true CS, then argyria has never
been
 known to cause it in anyone or anything.  In fact theory predicts that
true
 CS will help prevent argyria if taken with silver compounds that would
have
 caused it otherwise.

 But even if it did, it seems to me the choice between a gray horse and a
 dead horse should be easy to make.

 I would think that dressing the wound with cloth saturated with CS and
 changed fairly often would be a good start.  Also the addition of some
DMSO
 to the mix would also likely assist.

 Remember that preventing an infection by putting CS on a wound is only
part
 of the story.  The other part is that the ionic portion promotes healing
 without scaring by triggering injured cells, and cells in a blood clot to
 revert back to stem cells.
