Who tries to "regulate" a horse's water? I try to get as much water in a horse as I possibly can , as Laura said, to try to prevent colic. Glad you were able to inform barn owner, but I would keep my

I agree LJ. I would never restrict water unless there was a very good medical reason. Colic is often waiting in the wings for something like not enough water to set it off. Laura K Chappie & Beau

Hi Mara, That glucose value is too low to be accurate. As glucose is the most fragile of the parameters being sampled, the most likely cause is mishandling of the sample - usually, the blood wasn't

Hi. My horse foundered at the end of June. We were having trouble controlling the pain, so we took Dr. Kellon's suggestion to try J-herb and Metformin. I waited a bit to check insulin/glucose. new

The new barn I’m at does not use auto waterers because they like to know how much a horse is drinking. Last month I was asked to pay more for shavings because jesse urinates so much. Today I looked

I finally got the last part of Teeny's bloodwork (CBC). It is uploaded in my case history. I requested that the vet call Cornell to have them run a Lyme test last week and they did. It was

Hello Can Phytoquench and Laminox be given together? Is Phytoquench used primarily for pain relief ? I’m a bit confused as some reviews say it offered pain relief and made laminitic horses more

Thanks Dr Kellon, I am awaiting bloodwork from Cornell. We had a recent bout of laminitis so I am really scared but I will wait for the results and your expert guidance. This group is a Godsend to
