Soaking all the hay in 1 go does make things so much easier. In Calgary, being so hot and dry, I don't think you even need a cooler, just a place it can sit and continue to drain. This is what I use

Nicolle, Have you read Druid's story http://www.ironfreehoof.com/severe-laminitis-case-study.html ? I can't emphasize enough you do NOT want her to get up. Once she is off the bute, consider starting

Hi Laura, I just want to clarify: are you asking for markups, or general comments? If you'd like to get markups done by Lavinia, please add lateral and dorsal photos that include the cannon bone. I

She does not seem to like the prone position. Would the front boots be uncomfortable? In seven years I have never seen her lay down either way. -- Nicolle D in BC Canada

New member here, I've just (hopefully) uploaded a Case History for Max (Michelle and Max), and also uploaded xrays and photos (Michelle and Max) - but I'm not sure if its worked, if anyone can let me

Hi Nicolle, Have you contacted any local rescues to see if they have a sling? Do you have a supply of hay bales you can use to help prop her up in a prone position? Hay nets are not going to provide

Nicolle, I looked at the photo you posted. I’m wondering if you could use intact hay bales to support her in a prone position? I don’t think the netted hay is enough to give her support.

Nicole, I cannot imagine how hard thus is for you. But if she is eager to eat, drink, wants treats, she has not given up. Get Outlook for Android From: main@ECIR.groups.io <main@ECIR.groups.io> on

I need to give Midnight 2 grams of Bute/day for a week. I'd like to split into two dosings so need to know how long after I administer her Pergolide can I then give her the Bute. Or can they be

Anyone, Her feet seem to have 'settled' down' but it is her behaviour that makes me feel we are at the end of the fight. I continued on with the Dox yesterday. I posted a photo of her laying down

Does the Cornell multiplex test pick up anaplasmosis, Dr. Kellon? It wasn’t clear to me from what I read. With our pony, they diagnosed it from looking at a blood smear under the scope. -- Martha

Perfect thanks Lavinia! I just ordered. Super easy to have them contact my vet to verify the Rx too. Really appreciate it! -- Jen McCabe Laytonsville, Maryland Joined 2022 + Odin (2010 BLM Mustang

Can I give Jaiogulan at the same time as Devil's Claw? which is 1 hour after Doxycycline? -- Nicolle D in BC Canada

hi Laura. Your first post to the forum initiates a welcome letter. The letter details our protocol of diagnosis, diet, trim and exercise. You may find it helpful now or in the future with any of your

Good job! I moved both hay analyses into the folder. In the future, just add new analyses into the same new folder and leave the older analyses as well. They are useful regional references. The last
