Karen, When Majestad foundered 2 years ago my vet took very agressive action. In addition to bute, she used nitroglycerin to help the blood flow. You need an Rx and it comes as an ointment that is

Linda: <We're thinking she's not allergic to permax, that it's working and because her steroid levels are coming down, perhaps she's allergic to something in the enviornment and showing a reaction to

Linda: <allergic to permax?> Oh, I hope not. Just what we need is one more thing to watch for!!! I have not yet started permax (next week or so) but my old guy has had a couple of unusual hive type

Sue: You can call Prescription Specialties direct if your want to get an actual price quote. It might be useful if you vet knows that you price shop and are aware of mark ups etc. Prescription

Hi folks, I'm going to come out of lurkdom once again with an issue far more serious than copyright. My 29-year-old pony, Pokey, foundered last Friday ... I don't *think* it's Cushing's-related,

I've never seen side effects with the Permax and we've been on it well over a year. Well, technically only Jack is on it.... but you know what I mean. :-) Lou and Jack in TX www.neighnet.com

Has anyone else had any problems with permax? The first day I gave to her her tongue looked swollen but that went away, now she has hives all over her neck on both sides, again it may be allergic

Hi Carla, I bought mine from my vet and truthfully I did not even get the full 8 ozs. I will speak to her about that wednesday when she will be here. Sue

At the end of the visit, please! Kay, who knows that you might need her to work her magic first, then hit her with the price of cypro.

<says that they're bodies tend to be different than most horses.> I've wondered this too. I have a Swedish Warmblood and work mostly with warmbloods of various types. I believe that their bodies are

<I paid 180.00 for 8 oz of cypro.> Sue: This seems a little high. Did you buy it from your vet or directly from a compounding lab? I paid $165 for 16 oz of cyproheptadine, as did Kay (who loves to

And I paid $165 for 16 oz of cyproheptadine, so I am getting a good deal, right? I think I like that concept! Kay, who usually pays more than anyone else and can NEVER find a thing that she wants

And you deserve so much credit being alert and getting the Lyme's disease diagnosed early so antibiotics could be started. You just saved Majestad's life you know! Isn't that just super? About

HI Barb, Interesting point you bring up about breeds. I was just reading something that mentioned hardier breeds having higher insulin levels. I think it was on the chronic founder web sight. Just
