Thank you! I have looked over that site. I am assuming my vet did not prefer the blood draw, as insulin can give a normal reading while the horse is actually IR (as it states there). But from what I'm

Interesting re: if genetic. I still can't get my head around the entire HYPP population tracing back to Impressive. That discovery happened when I was a little kid and the idea that this beautiful,

I'll second American Ginseng, assuming Jessie isn't on J-Herb. I saw a real improvement in Satra, a leveling of mood. It smells wonderful! This grower in Ontario produces it.

I Understand about finding it staggering regarding the number of horses with these benign tumors. But I question as to whether or not it is genetic. Given breeding practices and so many with same

I have had my mare on Mov-ease for about 3 weeks now. I am not seeing much of a difference. The difficult part is the suggested feeding of mov-ease 20 minutes prior to their meal for best results.

Hi Jessi, In addition to the information you've already gotten from Sherry and Nancy, I would like to add one more thing. Since you first joined back in June 2003, we have a new and improved website

Hi lj Yes PPID could definitely be a factor. Adaptogens can help even when you don't have the veil. The good news is, you know right away if it is what they needed. Besides APF, you can try jherb or

Hi Jesse You will get a full welcome from one of the senior volunteers soon but want to comment on testing. I must disagree with your vet regarding his choices on testing. You do not need the Karo

Are there side effects to deworming every month? or to the double doses? Just wondering if I need to do that since he’s rubbing his tail again. Testing fecal today so I will know more specifics

Have you tried APF? For Fionn it helps any time he seems kinda blah. So it’s not just for the Pergolide Veil, at least in my experience. I know it is way expensive so I kept trying to go off of

I searched web.. I dont think apf will help. It prevented the veil or maybe there was no veil to prevent..other things to try besides apf?

New barn for Jesse, ( past 3 weeks) BO thinks hes not as up as he should be.. she has no reference but is comparing to other horses. Are there herbs to elevate mood for our cushings/severe ir horses.

Thanks for your response Pauline. I just find it staggering that so many horses have benign tumours in their brains!!!!! Sarah Harris Mt Mee, QLD, Australia Joined: March 2015

Not Dr. Kellon here, but thanks for the link to that study. It is so interesting that serotonin is lower in these horses (might lead to the observation of lethargy and depression, over and above the

Hi All, Awhile back someone had provided a link for purchasing toggles (I think that's what they're called) for closures for hay nets. Can someone please provide that again? Much appreciated,

Hi Casey, I'm curious about whether you can get your horse to eat CTB. I have 2 lbs of DePaolo Equine Concepts CTB powder that my shaggy mini won't touch. Have tried mixing in her food, with

Hi Melanie, Not a problem at all you adding to my question. I am very interested in the answers you get. As I wasn't sure if I should be putting my mare on more than Mov-Ease. Heather Mass 2000

Thank you! My initial thoughts were the nutrition in the grass/hay down here vs. Minnesota...but I want to make sure I cover my bases and don't overlook something like IR and pay for it with

I found this study extremely interesting, but it doesn't match "seasonal rise" as I understand it. Blood samples from March, June, September and December were compared for a Cushings group and a
