Not that it applies in this case but not that long ago horses were tubed for worming. We still tube really dehydrated horses with electrolytes in the summer. While giving a milkshake is against the rules it does not in any way harm the horse. That is a fallacy.
Interesting fact- Dr. Mcguire worked as a examining (state/NYRA) vet for a time.
