Illinois has SUPER TESTING this year, every race. Should be AWFUL interesting if it does a bit of good.

Normal in humans is 24-29 mm/dL

I am somewhat surprised how high the "accepted" normal is for a horse. I wonder what percentage of their horses that are not in violation test in the higher normal range or 35-36 mm/dL. Must be a lab error

Horses are not humans, Doc Species can be vastly different physiologically. Remember horse spleens versus human spleens? In fact (mostly because they are herbivores) horses have a narrower "normal" range than what you have quoted for humans, above.

I really was ASKING not assuming anything. Probably should have just said what do the vets think the normal range is for a noncompeting horse.

In humans this is tied into kidney compensation and I have no knowledge as to whether a horse has kidney compensation for high and low bicarbs or alkalemic Ph's like people do but there are vets here that will know

Doc,

There is a DTer here that told me to 'milkshake' myself to get rid of a cold, milkshake myself every hour he says.

I didn't do it, I went to the doctor, gave me a 'z pack' and I am all good now.

Milkshaking a human gets rid of a cold, True or False??

A "z pack" won't do anything for a cold. A "z pack" is an antibiotic. Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. A cold is not a bacterial infection. A cold is a virus.

"Z packs" work well on bacterial sinus infections and bacterial throat infections such as strep and staph.

Boy! I sure could have used one of those this past week
