Thyro-L temporary - add Equioxx?
Shevawn Romine
Cassie was prescribed Thyro-L for weight loss by vet (after muzzling , change in hay, tested hay, reduced hay did not result in much weight loss or reduction in fat pads. It did reduce weight a bit. On a recent vet visit, they advised to stay on it and add Equioxx for inflammation and rotation in the feet. Two questions from this, I just read very good vet industry paper on managing laminitis that stated that Thryo-L should only be temporary, then stopped. But it didn't say why. Is there harm, as I just assumed if it helped keep weight down then could be forever. (No, thyroid test didn't test low). Also, I didn't start equioxx as had seen it recommended for chronic foot soreness.
