IMPORTANT: Follow the recommended dosage for optimal results. Lower dosages are sometimes mentioned elsewhere; however, research indicates that the recommended dosage is necessary for the treatment to be effective.
Administer the treatment for 5–7 days, once a month. 1 kilogram of PsylliumMash contains 500 grams of psyllium seeds. Weigh out the amount while dry, then soak the PsylliumMash according to these instructions:
Mix the mash with about 4 parts water (cold or warm, not boiling). Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, stir, and feed immediately. For best results, do not mix in any other Vitalbix products, supplements, or medication. Always consult your veterinarian first if your animal is on medication.
Prevention is better than cure! To prevent your horse from ingesting sand, never feed hay on a sandy surface. Also, don’t let your horse graze on a bare pasture. Check the manure regularly for sand by placing some manure in a clear plastic bag or glove along with water. If you find a lot of sand in the manure or if your horse shows signs of colic, always contact your veterinarian.
