Re: Sparkles ...WAS Photos Mark up, NOW frogs/bruising ... Dr Kellon, Lavinia ... anyone

Hi Jen, A couple of things - the photo you have of Sparkles where you said she was 275 looks like she's a good weight vs. the 380lbs you have listed for her in the CH. Do you have a current picture

Re: Paddock Paradise muzzles and more

HI there. I have been doing a track system for several years. I understand the owners concern re not wanting to kill grass. I just wanted to mention though in my experience, at least where we are ...

Re= Paddock Paradise muzzles and more

Hi Sherry: I, too, am attempting to create turnout for my IR horse who is being treated with allergen injections for extensive allergies. My issue is he itches everywhere and rubs off his muzzle.

Hello Meghan, Welcome to the group! As Dr. Kellon already said and as outlined in the Case history email you were sent we really need a full case history and photos/x-rays and bloodwork for your pony

Re: Paddock Paradise muzzles and more

Hello Alison, Welcome to the group! If moving your horse to a location with an actual dry lot is not an option is there a reason you can't turn him out with a muzzle? We recommend limited turnout

Re: IR and n/p1 mare

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

Re: Jack is still foot sore - what now?

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,

Re: Jack is still foot sore - what now?

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

Re: Sparkles ...WAS Photos Mark up, NOW frogs/bruising ... Dr Kellon, Lavinia ... anyone

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

Re: further info on Darby

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
