When we supplemented selenium, we supplemented vitamin E at the same time. I can't tell you why (it's been way too long ), but I remember it had something to do with an inbalance if you didn't. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm getting too old. LOL

Vitamin E deficiency lowers selenium absorption and utilization which is why many selenium supplements also contain Vit. E. Unfortunately, unless the Vit E has been stabilized, it only has a shelf life of a couple weeks.

Danzig and Paisjpg, thanks for the links-- I logged off yesterday morning and didn't get back online until this morning, so I just read them all. Very interesting stuff. It IS funny what our minds choose to retain, isn't it?

News is better on Mr. B this morning:

I have only this to say: The Jacksons and Dr. Richardson have the best interest of Barbaro in their minds and in their actions. I respect that they are doing the right thing. In my opinion, Barbaro has conveyed to them his will to live. I am happy and optimistic that he can recover and lead a life of quality.

Because breeding became more important than performance? Tee hee.

Yep, sometime in there the royal family tree started looking more like a straight line.

You're pretty much right. You usually have to supplement selenium in cases of white muscle disease, azoturia...etc. Vitamin E and selenium work together, and are used especially in the treatment of white muscle disease in foals. Vitamin E prevents the breakdown of cells, and selenium aids in the absorption of vitamin E through the tissues.
