Gayle, I al most didn't respond to you because when I mapquested the disance from your place to this hay, it said 10 1/2 hours--one way.  But then I saw that you said you had called "all over the

Hi Gayle, Good news on Sabrina, I know you've worked hard to get her sound. Good grief, what a horrible thing for your hay man. If the year old hay tests well, and looks good, I wouldn't hesitate to

Hi Kim - S/s can be too low if the horse is working, but there are feeding strategies that you can follow to help with that. The fiber content is pretty high, so it might not be the ynmmiest hay as

Hi. Haven't posted in a while. Sabrina is doing extremely well. Maybe 95% sound!! Thank you everyone for your help. We've been having a horrible time finding good hay this year. Our supplier of

Hi Pat, I'm sure others will chime in, but here's my 2¢ worth: 1- There is no direct correlation between ACTH & Insulin levels in the sense that you could say "if ACTH rises 10 pg/mL the Insulin

Hi Bonnie, just out of curiosity, how much Benadryl were you giving him and how many times per day? I found that 150mg every 12 hours at first and then every day worked well for Wind who is 875#. I

My vet's colleague made the 2 1/2 hour trip here today, regarding Lad's hives. The original treatment with benadryl had been a failure. He had done some consulting with other vets and they agreed on

I apologize in advance for the length of this! Callie - my 15 yo Paso gelding was first "officialy" diagnosed as IR in 2009. Since joining this group and taking Dr. Kellon's NRC Plus course and the

I don't know what the package insert says, but this is info that was submitted to the FDA. No doubt about it. Foot pain was an issue in the

This is very upsetting that it is even on the package insert. The vet did take a nasal swab and said she would refrigerate it and if there was no improvement by Monday, she would send it to the lab.

Hi, Melanie - I would like to add my thanks to you for spending your hard-earned cash and sending the blood to the two different labs. What an eye-opener! If Peaches doesn't seem stressed by her

Hi, Jean - Is it possible that she has ulcers? Turning her nose up at non-hay feeds, plus weight loss, could be one sign of ulcers. It might be worthwhile to treat her with Tums and Zantac for a few
