Hi Bob. Thanks for your reply. I'm keeping your post, if you don't mind, and will forward it to the horse's owner. She knows all of this already, but it always helps to hear it again from someone else. What I'm primarily looking for, though, is information to counter the vet's thinking -- that *homeopathic silver* (referred to as silver nitrate on Google references) -- is, in fact, just eyewash and misinformation in order to sell a given product. And why, in fact, silver nitrate would be a poor choice. Can you help with this? Thanks. MA

Aside from that, at 10 or 20 ppm it is a "homeopathic" product and 80% or so is in the ionic form, all particles being small nano sized silver. There is no danger of long term use in horses that I know of. Most gets excreted within 24 hours, and remainder within a few days or week at the most.

The information that I'm needing is how to explain to a vet who is apparently misinformed about silver products, that she is (misinformed) and to be able to explain why. Anyone who is referring to CS as *heavy metal* isn't educated on the subject -- and if you're going to tell this to a vet, you better be understanding the information yourself. So that's the kind of information that I'm looking for. Thanks again.
