Hi Linda - I started my horse on permax in April and saw some immediate results (quit excessive salt/water intake and body sensitivity went away), but after about 45 days he started to grow a winter

I just went out to tuck the girls in for the night and noticed my cushings horse has a slightly swollen looking tongue and one side of her mouth is droopy looking I think due to swelling, this

I just discovered this group this evening. So happy to find other horse owners dealing with Cushings. I am Lou and Jack is my Cushing's horse. He is a 24-year-old Appaloosa gelding. He has been

I just started my horse on permax and am wondering typically how long will it take to see any change and usually what type of change will I see? My vet said it would be hard to judge by coat since

Hay, Kay, I know what you mean about that look your Pandora gave you! Now Star just kicks as if at a fly instead of lifing her belly. "Get away from me you pest!" Ah well, we'll keep trying until we

Hi Chris - Where in CA are you located? I'm in the Davis area. Belly lifts and running your fingers up from her belly to her back would be great! If you know someone with any TTEAM background they

Well, I am here to tell you, the Belly lift theory didn't work on Pandora Mule today. She turned around and looked at me like, "Now what is it you want me to do? Just tell me, don't do that

Hi, For Darby's tummy tucks I tickle her tummy about half way between her udders and elbows, sometimes you have to search for the correct spot and use more pressure. Also, for her hind end I take her

Hi Robin! I have some info for you: - Some online pharmacies with good prices are: drugstore.com, drugemporium.com, familymed.com, RxUSA.com, eckerd.com. I don't know if they all will work with vet

Hi! I had the same trouble with getting my mare to do "belly lifts"- this may help: if you can find the "v" on the underside of the belly, just behind the girth area, where the muscles seem to

Hi, if your horse is sore and you think it might be because of standing "weird" to alleviate foot pain you might want to consider a chiropractor. I know that my mare was just adjusted because I knew

Hi Paula - I think there is little guidelines on the use of permax and there are many thoughts out there on its use. My first vet had me start at .75gm/day and then I was to decrease to .25gm/day

Jackie, My gelding foundered 2 years ago. After he was to the point where he was off bute and I could start exercising him again we found that he was short strided-didn't want to push from behind.

I'll talk to Pandora Mule and get back to you. This would be funny, if it weren't so serious, wouldn't it? How does one get an equine in the "Halloween Cat? position?" Kay, who knows exactly what

Thanks for the feedback on Isoxuprine. I should clarify that when I'm monitoring Bug's pedal pulses, and find them to be a concern (which isn't often), I give a low dose of Isoxuprine for several days

Hi Paula, my Domino also takes isoxuprine whenever he's having foot problems...since March this time around. I monitor his digital pulse closely and adjust the bute accordingly, but keep the

I know many have alread said it, but I'd like to reiterate that this group is SUCH a wonderful resource for those of us dealing with Cushings! As far as a vet who won't write a prescription is
