Thank you, Kirsten. I appreciate the reply and info. FYI, I have now created a case history folder with case history and hay test results. Also a photos folder. I have received this year's hay test

thank you once again, Sherry & Dr. Kellon I have added his test result pages in a photo album linked here in my signature, if that is of any help at all. -- Anna Dolly Keyser, WV Sept. 2020 Babe's

Thank you Sherry!! -- Joy and Willie (PPID/IR) Nevada County, CA - 2019 Case history: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Joy%20and%20Willie Willie's photo album:

He is passing manure but there isn't a lot when he does, I have seen him drink a couple of times and I have seen him wee, the urine is a golden colour, he's not a good drinker at the best of times, I

I certainly don’t think he looks worse, Lindsay, and he might even look better. The lighting is so different, he has more coat now and my eye may not be good enough to tell. I don’t recall what

Thank you! -- Sondra in Maryland 2013

PS- I just added new photos to Audi’s album. Also- Is it worth it to test Audi for anything other than PPID at this point? I’ve heard it said EPM can mimic PPID. How strong is the case for

Good to hear, Lindsay! If he were mine, I would increase his dose again, the caveat being that you might not see much effect until after the rise. Others may have a different opinion. The peak of

Hi Lindsay, I will obviously defer to Dr. Kellon, but since he was still relatively high on 1 mg before the rise and he's showing some symptoms still after being on 2mg for a month it may not be a bad

The study on fasting found a cutoff of 5.2 uIU/mL fasting accurately diagnosed insulin resistance in 87.3% of horses so he's actually in a grey zone but most likely is IR. Fasting significantly lowers

Hi Joy, Possibly - if you do a search in the archived messages for "jaw" or "TMJ" you'll find a number of references but this might be the most helpful as far as how to treat TMJ:

Hi Shera, When you get a chance could you please add the link to your photos (https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=253720) to your signature? The pictures of her feet that we need are

Hi Anna, I'm of the 'it can't hurt to ask' opinion. If it's images sent as a JPG and not a PDF you'll have to create an album here: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/photos (name it Anna and Babe)

Audi is doing pretty well, but I’m looking for advice on what to do next. He’s been on 2 mg CP for about a month, after his most recent ACTH was 33.7 pg/ml and he was still symptomatic. Most

Wow. I have never heard of this. Could this cause TMJ issues as well? -- Joy and Willie (PPID/IR) Nevada County, CA - 2019 Case history:

Thanks, Sherry, IDK if it would be helpful for me to upload the images of the page they sent me or not, but that's all I have. I do understand why they think Cushings, this bout of abscesses was the

Hi Sondra, You are not imagining that. Jaw muscles can weaken with uncontrolled PPID. It's one of the things mentioned when horses lose weight for unknown causes so it comes up on the list now and

Hi Anna, So the current fasting results are something Dr. Kellon can look at with relation to the report she referenced about fasting normals. For the way we usually look at results though, those

Thank you for this...I couldn't see the pic in the original but this link worked! Thank you Martha for your work and so nice to put a face to your name! -- Nancy and Akira 3/20/2018 Burkesville

Somewhere, in all my reading over the years, I think I saw something that referred to jaw weakness in horses with IR or PPID? Not able to masticate well. Am I dreaming this? -- Sondra in Maryland
