This is my frist post and my frist foundered horse. Don't have history yet. This mare foundered in Jan. 2011. Was not on grass or grain. Had a consult with Dr. Kellon July 2011. Mare has been on low

Lavinia, The pocket formed at the gum line because the teeth were separated by a small amount and feed was packed in it. He thinks they will realign with time. I agree with your theory of using it

We have just done this transition as our vet said they couldn’t prescribe pergolide any more it would have to be prascend. The only effect I have seen is to my bank balance as it is more expensive.

Lavinia and all, I will bump this up again to see if anyone has any knowledge of any particular disorder or disease process or organ issues that might contribute to insulin being high (and continuing

Hi Mariann, Great that Sunchero is doing so much bettr. Would you please answer a few questions regarding the switch to Prascend. Was the dose the same as the pergolide dose? Any bloodwork

Yup, 6-8 weeks is standard. BLGG is much more expensive than EA. Astrid NRC2011, Cu/Ir 2012

Hi Angela and CoCoPony! I went through the same thing with my Frosty a while back. He just stopped taking his pill. I decided to take the pill and stick it between his cheek and gum (bars) after he

Hi Julie, HA is usually most effective if there is active inflammation going on. Prophylactically, glucosamine and chondroitin are the usual choices. There is a lot of debate about whether joint

Hi Susan Can you download the Word version? If you save a copy of the word to your computer, then open it you should be able to type in the boxes. Save that filled out version to your own computer

Sunchero was on Pergolide for 12 yrs and up to 6.0 mg this year.  Vet switched him to Prascend 3 weeks ago.  What a difference! He has always been an angry bitey horse on the ground w/no ears

I just talked to LLOYD Inc today and they confirmed they have temporarily Stopped manufacturing Thyo-l while the FDA inspects their plant. They expect to resume manufacturing in a few weeks so they

Hi Paula, Sorry this wasn't addressed earlier. Yes: exercising before testing; eating within four hours of the test if there was a period of more than 6 hours previous to that with no food; high

Hi LeeAnne, So glad to hear Dawn is doing so well and has taken to her new home with equanimity. Having a known horse around seems to help a great deal. FWIW, my theory on tapering is that the

Tracey - The typical dose is 1 gram per 100 pounds/day, so that would be 12 grams/day. I just put it in with the supplements and down it goes. You might want to start out with maybe half the dose

Hi Tracey, AlCar is fed at 1g per 100lbs, so 12g would be the dose for Chance. Yes, powder is what to use. Lavinia, Dante, george Too and Peanut Jan 05, RI EC Support Team

Hi Erin, Well that stinks - why fix it if it ain't broke? Unfortunately, yes the cost is quite a bit higher for the Prascend vs compounded pergolide. Definiely would not drop the dose at this time

He is about 1050#, 15 hands. It takes alot for him to sweat. On a 100 degree day trailride, he will sweat under the saddle and maybe a little on the chest. He rarely drips. When we are at drill

Thank you Maggie. That's good information. Sara Northern CA., 2011

Hi Angela, Glad that CoCoPony is doing so well - sorry that he is being a bugger about taking his meds. Sometimes, they will just decide "no" for who knows what reason. I just take the capsule and
