Reviews:
"I have a horse farm in New Hampshire and am lucky to have nice pastures for turn out. However, one spring a few years ago, one of my horses became sore in her front feet due to eating the lush spring grass. We immediately pulled her off the grass, called the vet, and procedures were begun to prevent any serious complications. I had heard about Dr. Cavey's LamiGard pellets and called him to learn more about this product. Dr. Cavey was very nice and took time to listen to my story. After talking to him, I immediately began my mare on his product. I was very pleased with the results. My mare recovered quickly from her soreness and was soon well enough to go back to the pasture with her buddies. I kept her on the pellets that year until the snow began to fall and resumed treatment the following spring. I have had no further issues with this mare and I have decided to put another of my horses on this product during pasture time. I have personally seen the results of this product and even my vet is impressed. I will continue to use the LamiGard pellets and highly recommend them to other horse owners."

"My big bodied QH/Hanoverian mare developed an abscess in each front foot and was so lame that she was nearly unable to stand. In the past, when this has happened, she felt better after the abscesses' opened and
began to drain but she was still remarkably lame. A couple days after the abscess opened I put her on Lamigard paste. Within two days I saw a 50% improvement and upon completion of the entire program she was
ready for pads and shoes. I have owned this horse for years and she has abscessed several times before. I have always had to wait many weeks for recovery, not days!" Carol McCarthy
"A sport horse I am treating had such severe laminitis that we could not pick up his feet for x-rays to determine if sinking or rotation had occured. After two weeks of treatment with LamiGard paste he had progressed to the point where we could take x-rays. We discovered he was sinking but he was able to be turned out in a small paddock and was walking without pain. Thank you for the introduction to LamiGard." Jayson Layfield, DVM
