I agree with trying Pentosan next. If that doesn't work either he may have complement mediated hives rather than histamine. Low dose stanozolol has worked for that in 3 horses I know of. Stanozolol

Hi Sherry Thanks for your review and thoughtful comments. I’m on the same impression you are regarding Fontane since I’ve had him since he was 2. Yes, he is definitely starting to put on some

Kathy, it seems as if it may be a combination of maybe needing more pergolide, ulcers and confusion about not seeing you for so long. I recently joined a lovely group of horsepeople who are focused

Hello Joy, I looked up records of dealing with hives with Lad in 2012/2013. Beginning summer 2012, nickel-sized NON ITCHING hives appeared each morning, becoming hand-sized flat plaques by evening.

Thinking about this again, Kathy, I am reminded of Logo before he was diagnosed with PPID at a relatively young age. I could not leave for the weekend, without his becoming ‘colicky’. His former

Hi Tracie, Thanks for getting your CH and photos up. Links for those who want to

I placed an order this morning with no problem, but noticed they mention a security issue, so several people must have had a problem... -- Ferne Fedeli Magic & Jack 2007 No. California Case

Hi Joy, Hives suck and the sheath swelling is concerning but as long as he's eating, pooping, and peeing he's probably going to live, although he is also going to give you grey hair in the process.

I "think" so. What identification is there on your test results? Should say at top of page. It's always enviable to be able to use Cornell (although I don't know that Guelph's reputation is that

Thanks so much, Maria. I had never considered this. All I can say, is that she was well controlled and a joy to ride on the 3 mg. Suddenly, she is not the same horse, and I am not riding her until

It went to Idexx. Is that Guelph? -- Kathy 2017 and Donna Harrowsmith, Ontario https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Kathy%20and%20Donna

Hi Kathy, Did it go to Guelph last time? -- Lorna in Eastern Ontario 2002 Check out ecirhorse.org FAQ - https://www.ecirhorse.org/FAQ.php

***Forgot to mention I cleaned his sheath about 3 weeks ago (or less). Also, have not de-wormed in about 6 months. -- Joy and Willie (aka FLS Boxcar Willie) Nevada County, CA - 2019 Case history:

Thank you, Martha. For some reason, I did not get this post. I will have her retested on Tuesday of this coming week, and ask my vet to plz send to Cornell. Thank you! -- Kathy 2017 and Donna

Hi Nancy, Okay, after separating the mini horses from the mini donkeys, here is an average for the hay consumed per day to date: Mini horses: 5.1 lbs/horse/day Mini donkeys: 5.2 lbs/donkey/day This

Thank you, Laura fro your input and concern. I cannot imagine Donna having any negative experiences at the boarding stable, as the owners are and staff are very caring and kind. On the other hand,

I've posted 3 posts about this issue to-date; for far had one response. I deleted the other two because ... crickets. Things are looking much worse now, and I could use some help/direction

If it's within 2 hours or so you should be OK. If longer, syringe it. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Predictably, these questions come up on weekends when it's hard to reach the vet. The drug circular is useless. Cayuse's metformin is going down when mixed with with a small amount of feed, but it is

Thank you Laura, I'm sure it's a problem with my security software and theirs. But I still can't get through. So I will order by phone. -- Cathy and Natalie (Morgan) joined 2008
