Do not give it to ruminants by mouth; it screws up their symbiotic digestive

Got to disagree with that one.  A group of us successfully treated our horses 
for EPM with CS, orally -- some of us treating for three years or more.  None 
of these horses demonstrated digestive problems as a result.  All of them 
recovered from EPM.  If digestive problems are a concern, simply put the horse 
on 
a probiotic.  The story about CS affecting septic arthritis in the knee joint 
is amazing.  One that I'll tuck in the corner of my mind for future 
reference.     MA
