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.
