Hi Julie, So sorry to hear things have taken a slide back for Pony. So frustrating when those you trust to do the job just don't...for whatever reason. Please post the new pix in her album when you

Hi Dr. Kellon, I'm so interested in your reply that ALCAR has no impact on fat metabolism. Thank you for responding. Could it be different for horses than other animals and humans? Or

Hi Corrine What a great idea to get him a goat friend. I hope Jasper settling a bit takes at least some stress off your shoulders. Fingers crossed he lies down some time soon….. Lesley &

If you can get your vet on board with using compounded pergolide, that is about the only way to get pergolide cheaper. It's legal to dose in any amount, except 1mg, the amount in Prascend. I
