dr bells horse drops

Postby gorrod » Fri May 30, 2008 7:29 pm

Is this product still made, down here in Aust have been unable to find it anywhere. Recently had a mare with touch of colic and an old trainer gave her a couple of drops of Dr Bells which helped her condition.
I believe it was made in Canada but cannot find any reference on the net.
Any help would be appreciated

We used to give Canadian Bells on all our mares that we shipped...My ex said there was belladonna in it which helped to prevent colic..Whatever was in it seemed to help..I will look around and see if I can find any...ginger

If you know someone in Canada, they probaly can get it for you. Getting it to you is a little tricky. Put it in the middle of something else when they ship it. I have a bottle almost empty, that I have kept and used occasionally when nothing else helped. Saved a couple of horses with it. :wink:

I heard from some old time cattle hauler that bells drops are what they used to soak their toothpicks in and chew on to keep them awake, so i'ld be careful of something with that reputation.
just my 2 cents
