In case it might help someone in this position, I will share what finally allowed me to safely put weight back on my PPID horse, while getting his flax and minerals into him. Cato, 1100lb normally,

Hi Merle, I know it can all be so confusing and really hard to wrap your head around at first! Chanda has already given you some great advice about making sure Camelot's ACTH has come down. It

My Cushing's gelding will drop weight in the fall if I'm not on top of the dosage on his pergolide to cover the fall seasonal rise in cortisol, so hopefully when you get Camelot's diet and meds right

Thank you for the info Maggie, Now I really don't know what to do. I looked into the ODTB cubes. $22 per 50 Lb. bag is really out of the question. What is the alternative? I've started to add

Combined esc and starch are higher than I'd like for my very sensitive IR gelding. Majors are okay. Trace minerals - where the rubber meets the road and so often forgotten by feed comanies - are

I wonder if the horses that don't like the ground flax, but will eat the whole flax, would eat flax that has been freshly ground for just a second? Just enough to crack the seed, but not turn into

No slapping, Angela!! What a kind offer.Very sad that you are in a position to make it,though. I have emailed you privately,but not sure if you got it.To say how very sorry I am to hear about Bridie.

Thank you! It's nice to hear from someone who has used them. I guess I was worried about them being too tight. But if you've used them for years, they must be all right. Karen Scarborough,

Hi All, I just checked the Mountain Sunrise site and they have added the analyses for their various pelleted products. Bermuda Plus has an ESC of 6.9 and Starch of 4.2 according to the D-O analysis

Hi Angela, I'm so sorry to hear that Bridie passed. What a grand old age. I remember her story & the passion you showed with all your furkids. They taught us all a lot. How kind of you to think of

The Stabul 1 Nuggets are for sale off their website, so might be an option for a taste tempter. I got the banana flavor for my gelding and he eats up his meds with a little scoop of the banana nugget

>Thanks in Advance Hi Sandy, Can you add your link to your case history to your signature so the volunteers can see the whole picture - can better advise you this way. Lorna in

I have used them on my Donkey's legs to protect her from biting flies, and they have been great. Sally in N. AZ April 2013

I am again looking for a new carrier for the custom minerals for my PPID/IR 27 y/o gelding (Paso). He has been thru (and stopped eating) beet pulp, Ontario Balanced Cubes, and now is starting to
