  1. I have bought 16 bales of hay from different suppliers and each has been very dusty. I am wondering how I can tell if the hay I am buying is going to be moldy before I get it home and open it? I cannot open the bales before buying to check to see if they are dusty. How can I tell dust from mold? How much of a risk to human health is it to feed hay to horses? Published: January 05, 2010
  2. My dog was sprayed by a skunk and after bathing her, I developed very itchy eyes and respiratory problems. Can skunk spray and odor cause these symptoms Published: January 08, 2009
  3. My 7-year-old horse is kept in an open-type stable. After his breakfast, I let him out to the running field. He is there alone from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Now that winter has gone and the days are longer. I'm worried because he has an unusual habit of lying down in the middle of the afternoon. He lies there for about half an hour and then gets up. Sometimes he sleeps for a couple of minutes, sometimes not. Is this normal? Also, I started giving him Wisolan from Wisoform because he had a running nose for quite some time. It is as recommended. Do you know if it will help a running nose? Published: January 06, 2009
