#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a cribber, Mouse is one. He has a miracle collar coming. He was doing good and hardly doing it and then Miss died and Picture got hurt and it made him upset (he is the barn barometer, you know if something is wrong cause Mouse is in your face doing the "fix/help them mom!" look) he had just relaxed after picture having to leave and go to the vet for his tongue! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Also they have shown, i forget where i read it that cribbing and chewing were often signs of ulcers. Feeding 2 tbsp of baking soda daily has helped many, some horses are know to quit completely. I know it is helping to decrease Mouses habit to a very large extent. Which is good cause the hot stuff on wood didn't help, he seemed to like the tabasco:-S#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#To me if the horse is good and it can be controlled i can deal with chewers and cribbers. windsuckers i hate!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
