Re: Sunday labs & case history updated - CBD info

Dr K, I hadn't realized that CBD was contraindicated for PPID, how influential is it and is it recommended to stop it? I have had Vinnie and Summer on CBD for about 2 years. (Ugh) Also have you

Re: Dr Kellon. Bloodwork back after starting invokana and it’s not good

Re: Dr Kellon. Bloodwork back after starting invokana and it’s not good

I spoke with a local compounding pharmacist, he said he couldn’t accept my pills but I weighed the pill for him and he figured out how much 110mg would weigh, so I will start him on that dose this

Cayuse's laminitis vastly improved - Dr Kellon nailed it

Thanks to Dr Kellon's sharp eye, Cayuse is much better - better every day since I stopped AAKG. Years ago I read the red box warning NOT TO USE AAKG during active laminitis, but I forgot. So I had one
