Hi Dr. O,

I'm a little anxious about Quest, though I understand from your article and several threads on the site that it's not as dangerous as some people would suggest. You mention in the article that Quest is not suitable for debilitated horses. Could you please elaborate on this? Specifically, my horse is recovering from a Staph infection and has persistent severe lameness in one leg - should I seek a substitute?

Thank you,
Natalie

Lameness is not a contraindication for its use. When we talk about debilitated horses we usually mean a horse that has remarkable weight loss or organ dysfunction. However we cannot examine your horse so this is a evaluation that should be made by your veterinarian.
