Hi Ani, Welcome to the group! You can always soak hay and allow it to dry prior to feeding it. Many members soak the hay for the day at the same time so it can be fed out without needing to do

Meghan, Please go to the Case History subgroup and get your information organized and posted so we can help you. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

We need a lot more details but the first thing you need to look into is moving him to a more appropriate place. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Ani, We REALLY need a full history to know where all of this is coming from. Also, where was the n/p1 testing done? -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Hi Hilary, If you start correcting the trim now you should see positive changes for Jack but it takes a year to grow out a completely new hoof and it can take several months for abscesses to mobilize,

If metformin doesn't get the job done I can send your vet a background file on the -flozins. At his age, the TRH stimulation is definitely worth doing. Just today I saw a test that was 22 at baseline

Thank you Kirsten. I soaked all winter. We tested our hay. Everything I was giving her from the time she was DXd with IR was around 8 or less (the lowest hay was 5 re ESC plus starch). She has been on

It's not true that metformin does not increase insulin sensitivity and only works by blocking glucose absorption https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8836112/ . Since horses are not meal fed

Hi All! I have a 19 year old Mustang Pony that had a very bad bout of founder in the spring of 2021. Upon further reflection, I believe he was foundering every spring since he was about 5 years old

Hi What can I do on an agistment property where the owner doesn't like me killing grass? I have a yard for my laminitic horse but my barefoot trimmer says he needs more exercise. I walk him for half

Hello Group, I am new to this group and would like help with putting together a proper diet for my IR n/p1 horse that has a history of laminitis. I have started her on the emergency diet today and

I relabeled the radiographs correctly as the dates were confusing. The trim reduced the size of the laminar wedge on top of the foot (that's OK) but unfortunately, it didn't actually address the fact

Thank you Dr. Kellon. I have been unable to get Uckele products in Canada. Always happy to learn if something has changed! We think Previcox is helping his pain because while it's not removing all his

New to Metformin. Vet says to dose 30-60 min prior to feed and label says to give on an empty stomach. We are trying to figure out if this is necessary because Jack has eaten it in his mash and this

I haven't seen anything about nitrogen processing with Ultra Cruz and even if it was it would be exposed as soon as you open the container. The HG Flaxen Flow is in a pouch evacuated of air and comes

I agree with Kirsten but if his diet is the same or better than it was at the time of the 2020 test, increase the pergolide then do another TRH test in 3 to 4 weeks. -- Eleanor in PA

So that would be the same stabilization as Ultra Cruz's oil? -- Linda in CA 2020 Midnight and Ostara https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Linda%20Midnight%20OStara

Hi Jen, I would also get a hay test and put her on minerals balanced to her hay. That may help with the thrushy, shedding frog as depletion in trace minerals can contribute to this. In looking at

Hi Barb, I would not stop the pergolide for another stim test. You already have a diagnosis of PPID, which is the purpose of the stim test. PPID horses can develop IR if the PPID isn't carefully

Knightstown Elevator is ordering me 8 bags and they should arrive on 5/9. That will give me time to enter Case Histories and prepare for vet visit next Friday. If only I had asked this question on
