Re: ACTH Results seem too high - could the blood have been compromised?
Hi Bonnie,
While 157pg/ml is a definitive positive for PPID at any time of the year, it's not something to panic about. For instance, one of my boys had a result of 1166pg/ml and another had 1250pg/ml

Re: PPID testing after travel
Hi Kandace,
Unfortunately, hauling will affect all the blood work results.
Do you have a small animal vet in the area who might be able to help out? Or a vet tech at your small animal vet's office

Re: Desperately Seeking Timothy Balance Cubes in Vermont and Vicinity
I would give Triple Crown a call - they should be able to tell you who nearby has it in stock. Or can order it. They can give you the order number too.

Re: Diet for IR horse
I had to soak hay til I could get the Tc Timothy cubes. And what I did was to put a hay filled hay net into a clean muck bucket. And I put a smaller bucket filled with water on top to keep the hay

Re: Preventing EMS/IR?
HI Rita,
Congratulations to both of them on their new horses.
You can't change their basic metabolism but you CAN prevent the negative consequences of ignoring those genetics. Mineral balanced diets

Re: ACTH Results seem too high - could the blood have been compromised?
Lisa, when you say the vet froze the blood for the ACTH test, was it after he spun (centrifuged) it? If so, that’s the usual practice, to preserve the sample while in transit. However, if he froze

Also wondering if the normal levels for the labs on Iron we’re changed? It has a different listing for lab normals on the case history than what the vet told me.

Most of the time everyone you go through gets a cut. And it’s that way with prescriptions, glasses, mattresses, etc. And the more middlemen you have the more expensive it gets. And to some extent
