Understand. So We need to keep crap out of boots. :-) I'm looking over old pix (see Photo section) and can see that I used shipping boots a lot.The shipping boots covered the tops of whatever other

Hi Nicole, you just have to take it 1 day at a time. Don't worry about the future weather. You know she can move herself on the ground, and that she can stand up more easily now (yay!). So she is

Kirsten, Midnight is not laminitic but she is IR... last check was 40.84 in April. She's been barefoot all her life with really good trims but she's been stumbling a lot lately (21 now) so I bought

Nicolle I have nothing more to add care wise (your receiving the best) but wanted to give you a big pat on the back. I only wish you had as Martha says, someone to help you. This is hard for someone

Lorna, I usually take the pics before I do any clean-up so they are as they come out of the boots which of course get full of crap. -- Nicolle D in BC Canada

I concur with Jill and have found a much greater acceptance of compounded pergolide amount older vets because they have the experience of using it before Prascend became available. My vet wanted me

Again you could look at a liquid option such as Equimins Devils Claw Liquid Joint Supplement | Rideaway USA (rideawaystore.com) Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary

Thank you all for the valuable advice and info. Especially the data on comparisons between CP and Prascend. I will be giving this to my vet. What a recurring nightmare for many of us... Amy in Va 2005

Oh, I feel for you, Nicolle! Is it possible to hire a vet tech to spell you with some of this? I can assure their regular job does not pay much (at least locally) so it wouldn’t be too hard to

Thank you Sherry. Very helpful. Might need to find another form of DC than the Phyto quench which is lower in DC amount and hard to get in her. Do you have a recommendation?

Good morning, Thank you again Lavinia for getting those posted so quickly! I've uploaded Zahr's post-trim photos to his album, same series of photos as last time if the group has any feedback on his

Hi Julie, Correct. If you're using EA you need the 603 Trainer, not the 601. Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary Response PA

Lorna, OK, I will upload. I did use a bed sheet for weeks now but it got things dirtier than using the rubber mat. I was actually thinking a vinyl tablecloth might be better so that she doesn't pull

This is interesting. Lately my mare Bella (Cushings/PPID) has seemed to have some sight/vision issue (very new). Will ask vet about this. J -- Jen McCabe Laytonsville, Maryland Joined 2022 + Odin

Sherry,I DID take pix,you can be sure. Haha. Not sure where they got to. I saved the hoof walls for a bit,sitting them on window ledge in stable. -- Lorna in Eastern
