Thank you sooo much again for all the feedback. I do not see any changes in Jewel ie excessive thirst etc so it’s hard to present the argument! I may just arbitrarily increase her dose by 0.5 mg

There's no question there have been reports of horses getting into trouble when being fed carrots. How much it takes to do that I can't tell you. More than a bite. Let's take a look at why that might

My vet called today. He consulted with the endocrinologist about Relevante's elevated leptin and insulin. The endocrinologist agreed with what was said here on the forum regarding onset of exercise

Thank you, Dr Kellon! I'll pick up some baby peas and not use molasses. I just taped her to be sure about that weight. I recorded it incorrectly. She appears to be 835 today. Much more optimistic

It is updated. What do see as missing? Last trim notes? Thanks -- LJ Friedman Nov 2014 Vista, Northern San Diego, CA Jesse and majestic ‘s Case History Jesse's Photos

New numbers from Cornell University show Blessing's ACTH at 49.4. Last August, it was 17.3. I'm having a lot of trouble getting her to consume the compounded pergo (2.75 mg). She has become suspicious

Hi Cheryl, Regardless of what any of us might think, you need to get your vet on board. It's basically impossible to compare your insulins because of different labs, different assays, different

Hi Beth This conversation comes up in nutrition circles a lot. First question is why does one want to feed the carrots? As Dr Kellon points out in this post the ECIR Group has long seen horses

LJ, I think one thing that would make a huge difference, is if you would update your Case History! Thanks! -- Ellen Pal & Savvy N. Alabama Aug 2013 Case History

Beth - I just want to chime in here, as I too found acquainting myself with all of the knowledge and information available here difficult. The case history took me days to do, as did learning the

Could someone look at this article & give me your opinion on it? The numbers & analysis make it look like very small amounts of carrots are ok but it doesn’t “feel” right. My barn owner sent

Jewel is doing fantastic! Riding over 100 miles a month her weight and demeanor amazing and the morgan crest soft and minimal. Her diet has NOT changed per case history, although a new supply of

It's your decision Beth, but as Laura said you could always sell the Timothy if it tests too high, especially if otherwise it is nice hay. -- Kirsten Rasmussen Kitimat, BC, Canada January

Deb- You did hit the jackpot! As with everyone else, I've been watching your and Scotty's progress and my heart was breaking for both of you. I now have "happy" tears in my eyes! -- Ronelle and
