Re: Grace TB mare new PPID diagnosis

The ACTH isn't outside of what might be expected in mid August for a 14 YO horse. The rise occurs gradually to peak in September usually. Her insulin wasn't high enough to account for foot pain and

OK. Thanks. Now, what has happened between March and July in regard to: - comfort level - exercise - the rest of the diet - hay soaking - her weight/BCS - Prascend dose For example, it looks like you
