Hi Laura, How much does she weigh and how much hay is she eating? Is it being fed loose or in nets? If nets, what kind of nets? You can always use small hole nets and double net if needed to slow

Great job on getting your case history done! I'm sorry to see his laminitis/founder all happened when you couldn't be there because of barn closures...that must have been tough. Uncompensated IR

My mare, Megan, also seems to have persistently high insulin. I had her on hay that tested in the 9% ESC + starch and it just wasn't low enough. She looked like the Michelin man, her feet needed

Jesse had a dental recheck exam today. The tooth that showed infection on x-ray is still quite tight. My vet wants me to go back on the uniprim and reevaluate in two months. His concern is that the
