Hi I think my mare is ok and I'm trying to upload my case study, but may I please ask how often should I be having bloodwork done? The founder was confirmed June 20th but had happened earlier and was

Hi Sandy, POAs (and ponies in general) are prone to being IR as they are very thrifty. How tall is your pony? Is she at her ideal weight now or does she need to lose more weight to be a 4.5- 5 BCS?

This is awesome news. Congratulations to Dr. Kellon and Dr. Gustafson and the group participants. I shared this with 5 local vets. -- Janet and Chicy Chester

while the future is hard to predict, there are lots of foundered horses with great outcomes. a friend's pony who I trimmed after she foundered several years ago, with x-rays showing 18 and 22 degrees

Hi Courtney, I was sorry to learn about Ribbon. You’re being very kind to donate the items you no longer need. I wanted to encourage you not to rush off. You don’t need to be actively managing

Hi Sherry, I am also wondering about a possible need for increasing Coco's prascend during the seasonal rise. He is doing great currently. In April his ACTH was 21.7 on half a pill. He has continued

Ah, good to know about the insulin being pulled after feeding (one of the many reasons we say the devil is in the details). I would still want to recheck that after a proper feeding>bloodwork
