Thanks Dr Kellon. Will give it a try. -- Terrie H in Australia 2021 Case history: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Terrie%20and%20Dixie

Hi Sherry, I will take Dixie straight up to 3mg this morning. She has tolerated past increases without any problems, I was being too hesitant. Thank you -- Terrie H in Australia 2021 Case history:

The metformin won't do her any good if she won't eat it and refusals are common. Can you arrange for it to be syringed in prior to eating? I would just stop the minerals while you are away. If you

Yes, a tablespoon of fat is of no concern. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

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

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

That drop in total protein in the bute + omeprazole group indicates colitis. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Jamie You may want to consider this study before combining the two meds. It sounds like a good idea to use Gastrogard to protect the stomach when on bute - but it might not be. A recent study found

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This product doesn't give cfu either but I like the array of ingredients https://poseidon-equine.com/collections/all/products/digestive-eq . -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

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. --

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. --

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
