Salsa has been on metformin tablets for almost three weeks now and is getting increasingly harder to syringe them into. The metformin IS helping him with his sore feet and lab tests show insulin

I did personally buy a bag that had small handful sized wads of molasses throughout. It was in the other bags on the pallet and the feed store sent the whole load back. chris -- Chris H in CA

Thank you for the feedback Kristen!! You don't know how much I appreciate it. For now I will go with option number one. I have been trying hard to increase her exercise. I know I won't be able to

I have a used pair of Cloud boots, size 3. They’re too big for my horse. They are used but still have some life left in them. If you’d like to “use them up”, I’d be glad to send them to

I would want the vet to explain how she thinks Stubby has improved so much if pergolide doesn't work. I also would like to know where she received her information about pergolide being so unstable

Considering that a Prascend tablet is scored so as to make it possible to give half a tablet dose, and that BI say to dose once daily, I don’t see where your vet might have got the idea that the

Hi Reta, Both of those upper numbers you are referencing are for normal horses. For PPID horses we want to keep their ACTH level in the upper teens/low 20s (in pg/ml terms) year round. 8.9pmol/L

Hi, Karen. No one has reported a metformin veil here. I agree that having his mouth examined and his teeth checked would be a good idea -- and sooner than later. You got a good reduction in insulin

I just got Sunday's pergolide from Mixlab in LA & it was taxed. No idea on legality, as states differ, plus government always trying to tax everything they can. Still was a very good price, even

Hi Dr. Kellon, I'm interested in your suggestion of Uckele Hylarin-b powder. Would it be beneficial also in an arthritic neck--C 3-4, 5-6? I've been giving him, per your advice awhile ago, Uckele

I have also been using Wedgewood and spoke to a pharmacist today. I had paid for expidited shipping, and then they shipped on FRiday, which means it's in the shipping system for 2 extra days, sort of

I've never been charged tax on compounded pergolide until this week with Mixlab/NewYork. Does anyone know if you get it from their California branch do they charge tax as well? Is that legal Ann

Bloodwork done 09-14-2022. Not sure why whole panel done but maybe less expensive than individual tests through Cornell. Blood sample obtained 5 hours after nighttime fast ended. Fed dry grass hay

Hi Tony So glad to hear the news about Stubby. It sure makes all the hard work worthwhile. Congrats. Back in 2017 we tested 30 pergolide caps for stability. Ten members donated the five caps needed.

Blood was drawn on August 22, 2022 to test ACTH level for Whistler. The test result from IDEXX came back as 8.9 pmol/L (ref. range 2.0 - 10.0 pmol/L). In doing research on ECIR site for acceptable

They told me he usually eats about 12lbs and some days he leaves some and doesn't eat it all, but I can certainly ask them to offer a little more. They also offer it in a net from when they soak it.

Hello. Stubby had a vet visit this week and overall her condition is very much improved, thanks to the changes we have made based on knowledge from this group. She said Stubby looked the best she

Is there a reason the barn is unwilling to feed him the appropriate amount of hay needed to maintain his weight? To maintain at 816 he should be eating 16.32lbs a day total, which includes hay as

I'll make the edit to my form about his weight. My barn expresses concern to me that by cutting out the Purina without substituting it for something else, Clover will lose weight again. He used to eat
