I also like to squirt the liquid E oil onto the feed - in absence of hand tools I usually just nip a gel cap end with my teeth and then squirt out the contents. I eat the empty gel caps myself, like

quoting Dr. Kellon "It does make sense that transdermal uptake would have more potent local effects than systemic ones." And that is what I said - I personally use magnesium solution transdermally

Wow. A smaller list might be breeds that aren't prone to IR!! LOL Thanks Nancy!! -- Kirsten and Shaku (IR) Kitimat, BC, Canada January 2019 Shaku's Case History:

Inorganic iodine salts can lose iodine. Being refined has nothing to do with it. Loss from iodized salt is slow in sealed bags but exposure to air increases it. No special risk for an IR horse. --

Hi Julie, I ordered powdered E from mybesthorse. Even in US$ and with S+H it was cheaper for a 6 month supply (1 horse) than the 4 x 400 IU capsules from the health store I was feeding before, plus

My 24 year old TB/Paint mare May was very recently diagnosed with PPID, IR?, and very high glucose. I have completed her case history with details and lab values. She does not have laminitis symptoms

The preference for soaked hay could mean she has oral irritation - mucosal ulcers, gingivitis, diastema. Salt, concentrated minerals, hard capsules, coarse foods would be irritating. You could soak

Hi Delli, They make us tear our hair out,don't they ??!! I don't see E in her CH but assume she is probably getting(wink,wink,nod,nod) 2000iu ,or 5x400iu caps? I was going to suggest cutting the tops

Lorna she has become very good at finding the vit E capsules and spits them out. My original post a few weeks ago was about her poor appetite for all her minerals and supplements. She gets them in 1/2

Thanks for the quick response Dr Kellon. So the insulin, glucose, ACTH and leptin tests will be a complete waste of money? If that's the case I will make sure the samples are not sent out on Monday,

Thank you very much Dr. Kellon, I will see what can I do to to make some variations in his diet. There isn´t commitment from the caretakers and they will not soak anything. Maybe I can cut the hay to

Thanks Maria, so if 100% of the NRC value is enough then he is getting that for sure. No idea what is in my hay for iodine, but the 1 tbsp of salt covers the Na and Cl at maintenance and not sweating

P.S. Feeding soy hulls or beet pulp would help, as would soaking the hay in just enough water that all the water is soaked up by the hay. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

That would be more likely a sign of inefficient chewing. Older horses have reduced force of chewing even if their teeth do not look bad. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Re: Mag I think the major issue is the claim it is superior to oral supplements. Many other minerals also have documented uptake through the skin - iodine being the most familiar - but for whole body

Hi Jodi, You said,"Yankee's PPID is pretty well controlled during this seasonal rise on 1.5 mg." But when I look at his CH ,the Sept 9 reading was 81.8 ,from Cornell. Is this the result you are

Hi! I have increased the hay offer for Yayo, diagnosed PPID recently. He is eating 2 kg daily of a safe concentrate and increased hay intake to counteract the loss of calories he was getting from the
