Re vitamin E. Jewel used to spit hers out too. Now i add them to her soaked hay cubes as a carrier...but mix them up early in the morning fiir evening feed or even the night before if its cool enough

Hi Maria, Prunes (dried plums) work very well too. You can shove the pill into the prune where it remains completely hidden. Relevante was wild for them. -- Lynn Beavercreek, Ohio March

Hi Maria, We use peanut shells to hide a pergolide capsule in. I know you are using the Prascend tab, but it should work for it,too. We remove 1/2 the peanut,put the capsule in its place,close up the

I need to hide the dose od Prascend in something very very easy to give for the caretakers of Yayo that doesn't get spoiled and can be stored. A small piece of a carrot or apple would get oxidized

Hi Lavinia, Thank you so much for your reply. I also considered a positive for PPID but not long ago I think I read that older horses had a natural higher ACTH so I was a bit confused about if maybe

Hi Maria, ACTH 142 pg/ml up to 53 this time of the year Glucose 91 mg/100ml up to 110 Insulin 12.68 uU/ml up to 30 Sorry this somehow got missed. With an ACTH of 142pg/ml, that is definitively

Thanks a lot Laura 😍. The hay is feed over shavings at night in the stall and in the morning and evening he is in a big paddock shared with about 10 horses more and fed over the sand and manure

Hi Susan, Why is the vet pulling a glucose test? It is insulin and ACTH that are the ones you really need to know. Glucose by itself won't tell you much as most horses don't have elevated glucose

Maria, how is the hay fed? If the hay is placed in a container of some sort, maybe the caretakers would at least pour some water over the hay. Or if it's in a net maybe dunk it in water for a short

The test was when he was on 1mg. I raised it over time to 1.5, at which point his peeing and drinking are fairly normal. That is the main PPID symptom I'm working from. Hope that helps. -- Jodi June

May I ask for some clarification on these questions please? I am a bit confused about if the high ACTH might be to some extent mirroring a natural higher elevation at his age or is it clearly all due

Thanks Dr. Kellon, will plan on that. Keeping fingers crossed all values will normalize. -- Ingrid 12/04/2017, Loudoun Cty, VA Dash, Sally (IR, PPID) May (PPID,

Delli- My boy sometimes would leave the E gelatin caps, so I would put the cap in a little water and heat in a microwave until the gelatin started to melt. Then I'd stir, causing the E and oil to be

Hi Ingrid, Her other values may well correct significantly once the PPID is controlled. See how she's doing on 1 mg pergolide before deciding on further medication. I'd retest ACTH, insulin, glucose

I also like to squirt the liquid E oil onto the feed - in absence of hand tools I usually just nip a gel cap end with my teeth and then squirt out the contents. I eat the empty gel caps myself, like

quoting Dr. Kellon "It does make sense that transdermal uptake would have more potent local effects than systemic ones." And that is what I said - I personally use magnesium solution transdermally

Wow. A smaller list might be breeds that aren't prone to IR!! LOL Thanks Nancy!! -- Kirsten and Shaku (IR) Kitimat, BC, Canada January 2019 Shaku's Case History:
