Hi Jody, Really sorry to hear your elderly gentleman is not doing as well. High ACTH levels can come from issues other than PPID, such as illness and stress. I don't know how likely that would be in

OK, Kim. Can you also please get me pix of the hind feet as well? Then I'll get some mark-ups up for you. -- Lavinia and George Too Dante, Nappi and George over the Bridge Jan 05, RI EC Support

Hi Bev(?), Glad to hear your boy is doing better now. Every hay has excesses and deficiencies, whether you soak it or not. Bagged feeds are not going to be able to "balance your hay" and should only

Hi Lavinia, Eeyore is trimmed every 6 weeks by the farrier, then I trim him at 3 weeks. Those pictures were taken one hour after the farrier trimmed him on the 15th. I will trim him on July 6, or

Hi Kim, Thanks for putting up pictures for Eeyore. You are correct that there are problems with the trim. Toes are too long in front of him, heels are under run, frogs stretched forward and soles

Wow, Tracey, she looks so different just in three months!! I would probably take her up another mg because her ACTH is high, her insulin is high and we are coming into the seasonal rise. You could

I have uploaded front hoof pictures for Eeyore, my 17 yo, PPID QH. I would appreciate it if Lavinia could do mark ups. The pictures were taken right after his last trim. He is always foot sore, but

Pergolide levels peak in less than an hour and the drug is reduced to half its activity by 24 hours. At 48 hours after the last dose, 50% of test horses in one study had a significant rise in ACTH.

My mare has started turning up her nose at the TImothy Pellets I have been using as a supplement carrier. R-S-R beet pulp is also being rejected, even when offered without any supplements mixed
