How much gelatin daily would you suggest for a 900-1000 lbs. horse. Most packets are offered in 3 oz. or more. Or is this even wise to do. Thanks!!!!

At 10:57am on June 17, 2009, jan said…: I have a 3yr old gelding(four "white" feet. I noticed yesterday "holes" all around the top part of his hooves. Almost looks like BB shots. Called a vet he said it was most likely fungus ( he's on pasture all the time) Have you seen this before? I'm going to keep him in at night until it gets drier. Also the vet said I could get an ontiment called ISP.
