Importance of Leptin Testing?


p green
 

Good Day!

  I know Dr. Kellon and the group believe leptin testing is important.  My vet, however, is not convinced, given the positive ACTH test and my horse's physical signs:  crestiness, fat deposits over eyes and in front of shoulders.  May I have the your thoughts on whether or not leptin testing is required for an already-diagnosed PPID horse?  Also, my vet has stated that if I'm concerned about IR, she could prescribe Metformin which would help with IR.  Thoughts?


Thanks so much!
