Sally, once you have firm manure for a few days, discontinue the Kaolin Pectate. Three days of good manure, stop using it. I'm not a vet, but experienced in diarrhea in horses and in foals. If your

Anna, I would also urge you to read the sidebar selections in the ECIR website that was linked in your welcome letter. It will help you understand better what is Cushings, what is Insulin Resistance,

Thanks for responding Kirsten. Did not find anything pertinent to my question on either this group or horsekeeping. -- Sally in Big Park, Arizona/April

Thanks Lavinia for the info on my blood tests. Makes sense. Also I have added new trim pics of Rio. I added a pic of the edge of one foot too that I think shows old damaged laminae??? Do I keep

Hi Judy, As Kirsten as said it is the wool felt pads from Equine Fusion and I do have more that one pair to switch them out. Another option is to buy the felt liners for Sorel boots mens xtra

Not directed at me but I buy felt rug material from amazon several feet at a time I cut a new insert every time I change/ clean out Desi’s boots. First pair I got from EF but I think I bought a six
