Don't you guys ever sleep or unplug?? I never expected such a response on a weekend....you guys are wonderful. Lavinia, you are right...I am still adjusting to a Mareless life. The boys are just

You're definitely on the right track! Some of that glucose is getting in, just not as much as normally (workers aren't moving as much as they should). The excess glucose goes into cells that do not

Hi Sharon, Sorry, I've been tied up with a few things on the home front so have had limited time to work on pix. Thanks for adding the latest trim photos. How is Elsa doing? I've added a few

I think I understand now. Could one of the mods please correct me if I've got it wrong? For whatever reason, Indy's BG is high. For whatever reason, her insulin production is not coping. This means

Hi Tara, Know how difficult it was for you to lose Divina and how that hole takes a long time to heal. Thankfully, our horses deal with these losses more practically than we do and readjust much more

Hello, have you checked for being over heated? I too live where the temps. have actually reached 100. My draft was not sweating and would pant. Also a respiratory allergy will make them pant big time,

Thank you, Dr Kellon. I think I'm getting a glimmering of understanding about this. I very much appreciate your advice. -- Maxine and Indy Canberra, Australia
