Yes, I was talking about presoaking. Since you're only feeding a mini you should be able to get the hay well fluffed up inside the net so it dries well. If you have time, try it now. Soaking

Hi Patricia, Glad to hear Dancer is doing better. Yes, I took a look. I will get you mark-ups in time for the Sept. 3rd appointment so you have something to show the farrier on what needs to be done.

Hi Dr. Kellon - No problem getting more hay nets, but are you saying that I should pre-soak 6-8 hay nets for the weekend? I am worried that the hay will turn rancid because I don't think it will get

My horse, Logo, began rubbing his crest aggressively a few weeks ago. My first thought was threadworms because I had seen some discussion of that here. I had never heard them mentioned before. My

Absolutely. I'll be going out there tomorrow so will get a current image (i board). No changes to the tail that i can see. We've been on a consistent corrective hoof trim schedule with Lavinia since

Could you post a photo in your album please? Any changes in his tail for forelock? Any hoof quality issues at the same time? -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Hi Stephanie, Did you go to Wiki, Case History Help? -- Lorna in Eastern Ontario, Canada ECIR Moderator

I think you need to soak it. How about getting some extra hay nets and soaking the hay then hanging it to dry out of the sun but somewhere with decent air movement. She can then just take down a net

Since receiving my first hay analysis Friday i've connected with an ECIR-referred hay balancer in my area, posed the following question to her and she suggested this might be one for Dr. Kellon. When

I know it used to be there but I can't find the instructions on how to add a row in your case history. -- Rhillranch Stephanie and Traveler PPID IR Jan 2018 Harvard IL. Usa Tucker, Wilson ,Black

My mini did great after his trim on 8/17 and continues to do so. I added some post-trim pics to our album last week. I received the sugar and starch results on the 3 lots of hay that I have on hand

Ok, good. I'm guessing each capsule contains 1mg. 1 gm would be way too much. Just a suggestion....breaking the capsules apart sets you up for losing some of the drug. It also means that,unless she

Hi, Nancy and LeeAnne. Thanks for all you do, btw. For the first time ever, Cayuse's leptin tested normal and she's compensated IR. That's the CH I'm working on. It would never have happened without

The pasture could be an issue if she has high insulin. If she doesn't, it's a matter of balancing minerals to pasture analysis instead of hay during those months. Until you can get her tested, at

Hi Lavinia, Did you ever get a chance to review Dancer's photo's I posted? I know you're busy, but the farrier is coming Sept 3rd for her next trim and I thought I would give you a little heads up.

Hi Lorna Geeze ... I must mean mg. They made powder in capsules. Each cap has 1gm (I guess). It’s at the barn or I’d look. They’re very small and hard to pull apart to empty in mash. -- Pat

What about her being out on pasture 24/7 she can’t be stalled up do to high stress separation anxiety and being prone to colic from said stress. The pasture is maintained and kept cut pretty short

I didn't see a sugar and starch analysis for the Hygain so would stop that. Could replace with Maxisoy. Definitely stop the barley. You shouldn't need the lupins. Replace lucerne with plain Teff. --

If you tell us where you are, hooking up with other members can also have big benefit for buying hay lots together, alternative storage sites, working with local hay suppliers to hold/store XXX amount

Even if she's not IR, your mare is a poster child for a diet that badly needs to be balanced. Until you can get a hay analysis I would suggest: Stop all grain and Remission Start flax (or Uckele
