Re: further info on Darby

So I am confused. I posted pictures of the trim done right after the xrays were taken. Is this trim not adequate? -- Nikkibob Wisconsin, Sept

Re: Jack is still foot sore - what now?

Hilary, I would go back to soaking Jack’s hay. The ESC + starch is almost 9 and some horses can’t tolerate even that. Plus, your hay testing was apparently done using near infrared (NIR) which

Re: Jack is still foot sore - what now?

Thanks so much for the quick reply Sherry. Apologies, I've read the document on Metformin several times, and then forgot to review it before posting my questions. Jack's diet is tight as we can, his

Re: further info on Darby

While that sucks it doesn't change anything to do with his trim needing to be in better order for him to be more comfortable. Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary

Re: Jack is still foot sore - what now?

We finally got a prescription for Metformin. Can Jack safely be on an NSAID while taking Metformin? He is still on Previcox and vet strongly recommends Bute instead. I know the ECIR recommendation

Lynda, The explanation is simply that Ginger is more insulin resistant than Max! I would consider a sealed muzzle for her on turnout. If your vet does not have a centrifuge on her truck, you are
