Dr. Kellon, Leaving town is my concern, too. I worry on days it is pouring rain and I can’t exercise her. As to minerals on hay, she stops eating her hay completely. I change her feed one way or

Re: Fat and Insulin Resistance

I am interested in this topic because I have been giving the powdered vitamin E from KP. I read a reply on here that said that powdered forms of vitamin E needs to be given with fat. My pony's diets

Re: Breathing Difficulty Treatments for Laminitis Prone Horse

Re: NEW MEMBER

Hi Šárka, One thing that jumps out at me is that Sendy's ACTH was still high in January. Collectively, we have found that keeping it in the mid-teens to low 20s YEAR-ROUND leads to a better

Re: Breathing Difficulty Treatments for Laminitis Prone Horse

Sherry is correct about the half life. You are basically giving two small doses. Research has also shown ACTH stays suppressed 24 hours after a single dose. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC

Re: Abscess or laminitis

Hi Terry, As Bobbie mentioned in your welcome letter, seeing a Case History will help us advise you. For a start, no Purina product is safe for an IR horse, and even small amounts can make a

Re: CASE HISTORY UPDATE

Hi Terri, Were this my horse with a result that high I would not be doing a slow titer up nor would I be going up by just 1mg. I would plan on tripling the dose (to 3mg/daily) as you're already behind

Re: Breathing Difficulty Treatments for Laminitis Prone Horse

Hi Jamie, You can possibly do a search of the messages or Dr. Kellon may have research references at hand for you but basically splitting the dose reduces the effectiveness of the medication due to

Re: Sparkles ... hooves other than EL, the cold and returning to normal turnout

Thank you Martha, I think today I will just go over things with apprentice and maybe do light rasping and we can work on getting the photos ... I can take them ... I just cannot be bending over trying

Re: Sparkles ... hooves other than EL, the cold and returning to normal turnout

Hi Jen, I’m glad to learn that your local ‘apprentice’ will be working with you. That would have been my suggestion as they understand they have a lot to learn. It would be ideal if you had

Re: Phytoquench

There is increased oxidative stress in EMS, which could be why PQ works better than plain Devil's Claw. I wouldn't keep him on DC now but you can switch to powdered PQ which doesn't have DC. --

Re: Bella Blood Test Results

I would keep up the exercise, try putting her minerals onto moistened hay and retest when it's normal. My main concern now would be what would happen if you go out of town and exercise stops. --

Re: CASE HISTORY UPDATE

Hi Terrie Protexin specifies 60 million CFU per gram (if you zoom onto the front label, that info is at the bottom). It's pricey but that's the one my vet usually recommends, and it does usually help
