Hi JoAnne We need to move this to ECHorsekeeping if Rayya is not IR or PPID. Just want to add that info on the Onochera that Rick mentions in his post is in one of the Merck links I sent. Not sure

still she threatens me when shes fed up with things like blankets...she would never ever have tried to do that before she got sick. That's exactly when my mare is her nastiest. She's never

Hi, Carol,  I'm so sorry to read about your loss.  It made me remember another wonderful TWH I used to know named Mac.  If your Mac was like him, I know you definitely have a bunch of good

I have a bag of Horse Tech's Nutra Flax right next to me here. All they have added to fresh milled flax is calcium carbonate. And what they say is that they have added Ca to balance the Calcium to

HI Paula With it being right sidedness, I'd be looking for an ulcer, either fore gut or hind gut or both. Her grabbiness would certainly lead me to believe an ulcer is the culprit, jmo. Been there.

Carol, So sorry for your loss. Your Mac brought back many similar memories of my Magic I lost a year and a half ago. Big black 16 H walker with white star and snip too. Little girls fall in love with

Carol, I'm so sorry for your loss. And so proud of you for taking in foster horses and sharing your love and knowledge with them. Fly Free Mac, you will be missed. Hugs and thinking of you, Amy in

If you have wormed your horse in last few weeks with ivermectin, the scabs your seeing in the jowl area could be Onchocerca cervicalis microfilarial dermatitis. My Arab mare had a bad case but it

I am wondering if the use of APF and PhytoQuench together is OK. A little history: 16 year old pony with laminitis in Oct. Diagnosed with PPID and IR at that time. Put on pergolide and thryroid-L.

I am about to have annual bloodwork drawn on my mule and my Canadian horse, both of which are diagnosed IR through previous bloodwork. This time, I have arranged with my vet to sent the blood to

Carol, I'm very sorry for your loss. You had Mac almost 20 years, and, though I'm sure it didn't seem so, that is a very long time for him to "get under your skin." These old guys just take our

Ok- still breathing! :) Yes hay is being balanced, custom supplement is in the works. They are getting vit E capsules, salt, etc. I started the Horseshine, 2 days ago, tonight will be 3rd feeding for

Thanks, Nancy. That's why I said "just something to consider" and not be taken as a silver bullet. I didn't want this to be one of those "other things" that wasn't given consideration. Sometimes it's

No, Lorna, my mistake. I asked for "Phosphorus" for a horse, and that was what they sent. Is it usable, or should I return it and get monosodium Phosphate? Bonnie Ivey, Ontario 12/08

Hi all, I thought I was done with this, but apparently not. Around Dec 1st I stopped feeding everything but hay - found this group - and am in the process of obtaining all I need to balance my hay. I

Dear list -- Sending myself a BIG DING for not changing the subject line when the thread changes! Apologies to all. Hi Alexis What Dr Kellon has said is the reaction to the yeast is stomach

Hi Missy :-) I remember when you went through this and it was during the seasonal rise correct? You had just had an ACTH taken which you were questioning the validity of. It was about 45 or so
