Excellent. Thank you very much Dr K. The angles you mentioned are very helpful since it’s hard to get the 3D effect by watching You tube videos. 

I will practice on a roast/chicken for sure. Great tips!  

Thanks Maxine, I will be mindful of my position compared to Bugsy’s shoulder.

An update to the swollen sheath issue...

Took him out for a couple of hours trail riding yesterday. W/T/C hills, etc. Came home and the swelling had diminished from estimated 75% to 20%. HUGE difference.

Thank you, I have been researching and found the same. I will keep searching for a better source of hay.

Hello Lavinia, I like to look at your markups for people for learning purposes: but the link in this post says "Heat Shield For Clutch in Vanguard".

would it be safe to say that as soon as i get the insulin down, I can then start the EPM treatment?  Do you know if the EPM meds affect the insulin during treatment? 

Thank you!

Help please. Thank you.

Vicki,

Insulin related to diet changes will occur very quickly. The rule of thumb for pergolide effects is 3 weeks but there is some evidence that increases in dosage made during the seasonal rise may not show effects on ACTH until after the rise is over.

No.  The DE on soaked hay will be lower, sometimes much lower with low fiber hay. Dry a small soaked sample and have that retested with a short package like the basic (09) wet chemistry here https://dairyone.com/services/forage-laboratory-services/analytical-service-packages/

Susan,

First, there's no room for regretting the past. It can't be changed and thinking about it is counterproductive. Don't assume there's anything irreparable here either. Definitely post those films as soon as you get them, and ask your regular vet to take views to rule out a fracture if that's necessary.  Even the rotation  may not be what you think if his feet need to be trimmed.

As for the bute, keep it on board until you get the alternatives. You will then double up while you wean off the bute, not go cold turkey. Just remember it's prolonging his pain, not helping it.

Hi Terri, thank you for your information. My local vet is unfortunately not very cooperative and the closest Vet school is 8-9 hrs away. Good tidbit about the local sourcing of nitrogen!! I'm going to contact another vet today who sometimes comes to our area to see if he has any experience treating.

If you hold the syringe between your thumb and first finger, rest the side of your hand firmly against the horse's neck, the entry angle will be good.  You want a 30 to 45 degree angle with the vein. Use your other hand to hold off the vein and make it stand up.

Good to practice on a roast or skinless piece of chicken. The more hesitant and slow you are in getting the needle in, the more painful it is. Another thing to watch out for is accidentally pulling the needle out again when you reposition your fingers after placing the needle.

Rye tends to run very high S/S.  One problem with mixed hays is that even if the mixture tests OK the horse will always tend to pick through it for the tastiest parts and leave the rest.

For the best comparison, free feed overnight just like you did last time.

Hi,
How long should I wait to retest the Insulin levels after making a hay change and increasing  the prascend?  My guy had high insulin levels at last blood draw. 
My last post was originally posted on 9-13-20 but I didnt hear back.  It may have had to much content and confusing.  As it was about high insulin and high EPM titers. 

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Hi Tanna, 
To answer your question..
Is it possible that Z might have been a little "different" with Relevante and he might be a little wary of the halter? 

Our full time caregiver and the Sunday/Monday gal are two of the sweetest, most patient, kind people I know. I'm the only one who halters Relevante and takes him out of his stall. When they feed or give meds they just step into the stall doorway and hand feed the meds/treats before breakfast hay/Stabul 1/supplements. So I'm not sure why Relevante has suddenly decided he doesn't want meds from the girls but will take it great from Z (who is also a very kind, gentle young man). 

This summer i have noticed that Relevante has decided he doesn't like his fly spray - also even though he's been unable to exercise,/ride I've tried to keep up on learning. Someone brought a plastic chair into the aisle way - he acted scared ...so i worked with him on getting comfortable with the chair. When the barn owner brought in a big package of insulation wrapped in white plastic - he was concerned about that so I got the plastic wrap and worked with him on that - even spread it on the floor and got him to walk on it. I've tried to mix up by not making every session a "teaching" one. He's pretty good on manners but if he tries to rush me into his stall because his food is there I take him right back out and ask him to walk nicely with no pushing. Apparently I've become the "mean Mom" and he's avoiding me by not letting me catch him.

On the testing - i agree with you. It's the first time my vet has been resistant to something i wanted to do. But Cornell backed him up so I'll test at the beginning of November and in the meantime order some Prascend to have on hand.  I'm going back out there this morning.
