If she is sassy and eating well then maybe the PEA is working and a nerve block would not add materially to her comfort. If she is just standing around with her head hanging low and has no interest in

I concur with Anthie. Prior to starting Summer on estradiol, as per Dr K,s recommended approach we tried to do a hormone panel last year with BET and were told they no longer do FSH and LH. Thanks

Are you sure? BET’s current website lists all those labs. Two of them, LH and FSH, are listed under the TB Stallion hormonal levels on the Lab Normals page. https://betlabs.com/equine-protocols/

Yes I have read that and the information in it is out of date given there are no labs that run that test in the United States. I have contacted BET labs, Cornell, and UC Davis. -- - Anthie Northern

Hi Anthie, Have you read Dr. Kellon's presentation on this topic from the 2015 No Laminitis Conference? Here's the link to the proceedings, download her presentation

Hear ya on the discouraging news - been there, as have too many other people. If you would like a new set of mark-ups for the new farrier, just send me a note privately to arrange it. -- Lavinia,

That's a great idea! It doesn't break the bag open! -- Rebecca July 2009, Sacramento, California Case History, https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Rebecca%20and%20Dutch%20-%20Snuggles/Dutch

If you manage to get any good information about this topic I would love to hear about it. I was never able to find a lab to run LH and FSH, but I have now tested my mare three times on her

Thank you Lavinia. He is to be trimmed by a new farrier soon, so I will pass your advice on to him. To be honest, this is discouraging news. -- Aunna October 2018 Oakland County, Michigan,

Hi Aunna It looks like the hinds may have a slightly better HPA but in general, all the heels are really underrun and the toes have run forward - esp. on the fronts. Because the RF is the most upright

Hi Daisy, Agree with everything that both Nancy and Sherry have already mentioned. The white line isn't a static structure - it's a seam that stretches forward, along with the toes. If you only pay

Thank you very much Dr. Kellon. -- María Durán Navarro Dec 2017 Madrid (Spain) Plutón´s Case History Plutón´s Photo Album _._,_._,_

Hi Brenda, I spent some time trying to understand Stormy’s ACTH testing results, without too much luck. Since Stormy is not on pergolide, I think it would be wise to do the TRH stim test again next

We feed the timothy cubes exclusively to Monte but we soak at least an hour prior so they are really a mash. If you want a dry feed could you try running over a bag with your truck a few times? They

Hi all. After seeing Glory's latest x-rays Ive decided there is not much hope for furthering her comfort. Her P3 is all but gone. She continues to thrive and be her sassy self despite the pain she

Hi Daisy Agree with Sherry we need to see pictures. In the meanwhile...... Dr Bowker has been telling us for some 18 years now, to trim into the white line. I am making an assumption that this is

Hi Daisy, As we've previously discussed, without current pictures at the very least, we can't comment on Tiko's trim. Most farriers IME will not go as short as the horses need to be unless directed

my horse ,tiko, is shod all 4 feet. even vet says (just yesterday) that toes are long, told her farrier says are as short as he can go because of white line. will post recent xrays as soon as i get

Hi Brenda, That's a weird coincidence! Both names are very common in Denmark though, so I know there's lots of us out there. It's hard to believe Stormy's ACTH is lower this spring than it was last
