No Idexx result; I don't have easy access since the move. Yes to ECIR mineral balancer since August; before that I was doing it myself, but the new hay was a little "challenging" (thank you

I’d like to start updating my case file for Pilgrim. How do I go about doing that? I struggle with memory issues due to my health. I don’t want to redo what I don’t need to … not all that

If you are seeing her impacted negatively by those changes with the onset of seasonal rise then I think it's fair to trial a low dose of pergolide next year. I don't see a need to redo ACTH until

Kirsten, You want me to put the bloodwork inside my case history rather than as a separate file as I did. Like I mentioned I do not have a final yet. The only change to CH so far is I added 3/4 cup

Oh I see, yes it is time consuming. And exhausting if you have to be there every day after work. Even though the hay only soaks for 1 hr, weighing it out into nets, filling the barrel, soaking,

some sources suggest that because of DC’s bitters content, it can help to encourage appetite.While I want to use it for its analgesic properties, Tuck’s appetite needs no stimulation. Conundrum.

I see people referring to Devil’s Claw. Is this something to be used instead of Previcox, and Bute? -- Suzanne and Pilgrim Joined March 2019 Winnipeg,

Dr Kellon, what signs would you expect to see if CBD was causing a problem? My horse has melanomas for which I have been brewing my own cannabis oil - I have not tested it so I don't really know the

Hi Dr. Kellon, Last night she drank 2/3's of her water bucket, better than the last few days. I was feeding salt regularly but ran out. I need to buy more today. All I have is Morton's iodized sea

Thanks Dr K.. my vet is coming out for some other stuff.. I will have him do that. -- Lynn Beavercreek, Ohio March 2018 Relevante Case History Relevante Photo Album Ω

Lynn, This is impossible to answer long distance. I see no particular reason to suspect laminitis but there are MANY other causes of bilateral stiffness than laminitis. You need a lameness exam. --

Hi Lynn, Good job! There's no need to test for thyroid unless you have a specific reason. Since they're doing well, I would wait until February or March of next year to test ACTH and insulin. --

The small square hay I have started to soak. The drylot is her only area. So covered the whole edge with dirt and it already seems to be helping. She goes out of her way to eat 2 blades of grass

Percentages from any single study are of limited value but on average about 10% of the equine population overall has EMS and another 10% PPID with IR. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner

How much is she drinking? Salt intake? I wouldn't test ACTH now but you could check insulin. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Get a small coffee grinder and use that to make it a fine powder. Start small and work up. Sprinkle meal with oil rather than water to hold the powder. It tones down the taste. -- Eleanor in PA

Hi Heidi, I know hay soaking is time consuming but I live in northern New England, soak once a day and never have any issues. I never pack the bags tightly so they aren’t as likely to mold. No one

I would like to use this herb that I purchased cut & sifted from Ameriherb; Tuck found it utterly distasteful & he generally eats anything. He is an overweight gelding with IR. I read that DC can have

Hi all, Rose started Prascend around 9/26, 1/4 tab for 4 days, then 1/2 tab daily. After a couple of weeks, I could see some positive changes, less drinking water and urinating. I started soaking all
