I cant remember the exact dosage, I think she got a scoop twice a day. The scoop is actually really tiny so I container does last a while. Syd had to have the steroids and everything before I started the Ester-C, it really made a big difference for her.<JW.BWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14981506796032162591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-33825768188989901642009-06-10T11:39:30.022-04:002009-06-10T11:39:30.022-04:00Great musts!

Its a lil scarey to wait it out, but it will all work out. <br /><br />I do have to stick up for the vitamin c though, in my mares case anyway, she is SUPER allergic to SOMETHING that blooms in the spring in VA, without the vitamin C she constantly has hives...
