Hi Kim,
The short version is Malachi is IR. That is managed by Diet and Exercise! His ACTH test while normal is slightly higher than 50%. At age 7 he ''should not be'' Cushings however it is a good idea to track his symptoms. Around the end of August you might want to retest his ACTH if he's not responding to Diet.

IF you post a link to his case history at ECH2 the gurus will be able to get to it faster. Dr. Kellon is a busy vet so hang in there ~ she will respond! Maybe someone can help you balance your hay in the meantime.

Make sure the DDT/E's are all working - good trim, etc.

Thank you so much for being a self starter and learning so much on your own! And there is a file on abbreviations so you life will get easier.

You may have to syring the Vitamin E in to make sure he gets it - or use a drop of EVOO (ah, come on people - thats on tv every day!) Kim, tell me you are NOT r/s/r the flax, magox,salt,vit E???

Keep us posted!
