Thank you for your response. I just looked back in my notes, and the insulin was “just a bit high”. With all of this valuable information, I am going to call her in the morning, and ask about

Hi Denise, Sounds like you need to back up a couple of steps. Why are coffin joint injections being considered? Is your pony foot sore? You've taken some steps to help lower your pony's

I'm having to use chia seeds for the omegas for Allie. (Allergies to flax and apparently the oil too) What inexpensive grinder would work for the tiny chia seeds? Thanks much, -- Bonnie with Allie
