Re: Giving Invokana

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

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

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

Re: Managed EMS but increased insulin and differing test types/terms

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

Re: Laminitis Spike

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

Re: Balancing TC Naturals Timothy Hay Balancer Cubes - Vermont Blend?
