I just got the blood results. Triglycerides are 1.97 mmol/L (reference range 0.09-0.58). Is this very elevated? -- Helene A. in BC 2021 Photo

I'm not sure if this information is still current but if you can get soy hulls that will solve your palatability problem

OK. Need you to actually weigh what she is getting. If you can't get the carnitine into her you could always syringe it. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Soaked Timothy (hay analysis is in my photo album). She gets 3 flakes a day in a hay net (not sure on lbs). She also gets 1.5 cups (before soaking) of the Ontario dehydrated timothy balance cubes with

Also read this study and send it to your vet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23663085/ . -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

We can help you try to get the triglycerides down. What is the current diet? Have you see the posts about L-carnitine? -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

My pony is currently on Metformin (with uncontrolled insulin). I've been waiting on the blood results to see about starting Invokana, and unfortunately they just came back with a high triglyceride

P.S. I would also start Jiaogulan at the same time. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Laura, I wouldn't worry about that small difference especially since he is in a safe zone for laminitis. Just continue what you are doing. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Stop the Tylenol first, cold turkey, and observe. Then stop the gabapentin cold turkey, observe. There's a good chance you won't see any significant difference at all. When down to Banamine only,

The insulin of 28 is far away from the acute laminitis threshold so I'd say you're doing well. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Thank you Dr. Kellon. -- Robin Aiken, SC 2022 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Robin%20and%20Hogan https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=275012

Stephanie, That's called banking the stall and yes, the bedding is higher along the wall and slopes down toward the center. You really need to get your vet involved at this point. He/she can do a

I saw it but I didn't see any reference to Tylenol or Gabapentin. I don't want to assume anything here. -- Robin Aiken, SC 2022 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Robin%20and%20Hogan

Helene, No problem with giving with Prascend and if syringe works best for you that's OK too. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Robin, If he is not having problems there is no reason to supplement for gut. He definitely doesn't need Vermont Blend with the cubes. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Tri-Amino can't make up for a deficit in total protein. The 50:50 mix should be adequate so just give it a little time. Yet, you can give him the Quest but no need to continue the daily Strongid if

Ero has been doing well since our barn move in December. He's on a drylot with similar-issue friends 24/7 and we're back in light to medium work after the winter. Continuing 4 week trim cycles. Hay is
