Hi Nicolle, I went through the long hours as well. So hang in there. Elsa wants to eat and I 2nd since Dr Kellon said she is not metabolic Elsa can eat unsoaked hay. Have you tried soaking the pasture

I added the "+1" as well to the beginning of the telephone number after it wouldn't accept my number. It was really counter-intuitive because there was a US flag emblem, so one would think it wasn't

Hi Nicolle, Do you mean you actually don't just sleep in your clothes?!!(ok,small joke) I wouldn't put a timeline on the process,if I were you. It can increase stress and you don't need that! Baby

Leptin is a test run as part of your bloodwork. There is no calculation for it. Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary Response PA

Wow! Good to hear, Nicolle! To my mind she is neither IR nor PPID. so the only reason I can think to soak her hay is to add water. If she’s eating dry hay, I’d give her all she’ll eat, for

Hi I'm looking for the Leptin calculation to put in the calculator section of my case history. I think I saw it somewhere on the ECIR site before but can't find it now. The EMS calculator only has

Kirsten, I have scoured the files but could not find out how much aloe vera to give. -- Nicolle D in BC Canada

I’d like to reinforce what Sherry just posted regarding the case history. We learn about so many horses here that it can be hard to keep track of whose is which. I went to your case history to

Courtney, You're right: whole carrots are a NO. Baby food carrots or homemade carrot puree (like carrot juice) were suggested to help the many members like me who have a horse that strenuously

Hi Nancy, Where do I go to upload my hay analysis? The analysis is from Equi-Analytical. She has been refusing to eat it from day one. She does eat the hay when it's not soaked. Also, what other

Hi Courtney Instead of carrot I would explore Cass's suggestions here, the message Sherry pointed to https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/message/281495 You can also try leaving a bit around to help her get

Thank you for the suggestion Nancy. I will try adding just a bit of it to see if she eats it. I have reviewed the links about the trim to the ECIR website, but it is a good reminder to look over them
