Mary, you do not tell the barn owner how to run her barn. Barn owner should not be telling you how to treat your horse, if advice is against your wishes. Her barn.Your horse. Grrrrrr. -- Lorna in

I spoke to my vet and she said to soak hay (She doesn’t get any grain.) and retest in 3 weeks. She wasn’t as concerned as I would’ve expected because the mare has no other indicators. She would

Hi Kirsten, Except for when farrier cut his LF sole in July, Apollo has not been footsore since April 2022 while wearing Cloud boots with pads. Currently, he walks without hesitation out in paddock

That was my first thought too cause he’s so lame. And he doesn’t want to walk or put any weight on the one foot. However I don’t see anything when I look at the hooves. One of the barn

In my last post, Mouse and Ryn were both eating hay that has been balanced correctly and tests at 6.4% ESC/Starch combined. Starch is .4%, unsoaked. Mouse's insulin was 65.15 and Glucose 92. Ryn's

Hi, Anna, Your case history is out of date and needs an update. I don’t know what carrier you use to feed supplements because your CH is so old. Are you still feeding Fibrenergy with 12% fat to

It could be abscesses mobilizing if insulin is low, which it is. Abscess pain is usually worse than the original laminitis and it can occur weeks to months after the acute laminitis. You want to

Ok, I would not trust any of those results. Glucose is too low in all of them except Marcella. Anything below 4.7'ish is very suspicious. Definitely get the original copies. Hers is probably only

Hi Mary, Your case history is perfectly posted. Thank you! If he’s in the middle of a laminitic attack now, it doesn’t appear to be precipitated by high insulin. He’s definitely IR but his

I'm so sorry to hear of Sully's passing. Letting them go is hard. What a gift that you saw him sleeping an hour prior...it sounds like it was a peaceful passing. -- Kirsten and Shaku (EMS + PPID)

Hi Freya, that glucose is fine, I'm surprised it hadn't degraded with the heat and delay in getting back to the clinic. The range for normal glucose should be reported on the lab results. If that

Very sorry for your sad and shocking loss. -- Linda in Grass Valley, CA 2020 Midnight and Ostara https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Linda%20Midnight%20OStara

I'm planning to try flax oil instead of ground. Is it 2Tbs of the oil = 1 cup of ground? I sent for the Santa Cruz oil. -- Linda in Grass Valley, CA 2020 Midnight and

Hi Patty, they make plastic containers that mount onto walls or fences and hold about 1 gallon. Most equestrian/feed supply stores usually have them. Or you could use a feed tub on the ground, just

Hi Anna You want your omega 3:6 to be in a ratio of 4:1. I would be skeptical of the DHA claim. Horses are designed to eat plants. Our research director Kathleen Gustafson works with Omegas in

Hi Robin I may have missed this if it has already been done, but suggest a look at his teeth and mouth. -- Nancy C in NH ECIR Moderator 2003 ECIR Group Inc. President 2021-2022
