Hi Jaini,

Are you one of the Moderators? You can call me sky, that is fine. The vet, Dan Cochran does not come out to my area. So, I called my regular vet who is on the cusp of retiring & I really tho't he would not be open to all of this but he is willing & will do the testing for me. I just have to send him all the info which I printed out from the ecir site. So, that is in the works. Why do you want pics of her hooves? They are in casts right now & Pete Ramey has been helping me along with someone he recommmended & also now Equicast is helping me. So we are really doing all we can for her hooves to hold them together & get her as comfortable as possible with a good breakover. She has pathological feet from many years of wrong everything so it's only the last 2 yrs that I took over & started learning about this & she was growing out new hoof capsules & then this Laminitis thing started happening which, thank goodness, has been mild. She is able to walk & no strange stances,but it is not doing her feet any good. I was wondering about feeding before the testing. Does she need to have, like a full meal before the blood draw? & does the blood draw need to be during a certain time of day or anything? I know it should not be fasting. So, can I just feed her when I know the vet is coming? Thank you, sky
