Hi Jessica, I'm going to assume the trim was done after the most recent rads - please let me know if that isn't correct. Based on the rads, there were definite improvements to the trim from the last

Don't give Phyto-Quench with NSAIDs, unless you're on a taper, but otherwise it's OK. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

There is some improvement, and the sinking limits what you can do (there is fair ground clearance now but wouldn't want to lose any . However, the toe needs to be backed up more and the entire

To my novice eye, they look better, Jessica, but I’m not sure how much I’m being influenced by having had the apparatus removed from her feet. I would suggest asking Lavinia for another set of

I'm not sure what the black material is. Possibilities are ichthammol or pine tar. Neither of them will seal off the sole to the point it couldn't drain but you won't be able to see any drainage. --

Thats disappointing; I thought the recent x-rays looked significantly better as well as her hooves so what are you seeing that makes you feel it is not much improved that I am missing? she was weaned

Hi Jessica, If you look at your photo album and the markups that Lavinia did in August you'll see that there's been not a whole lot of change in the trim as yet and this can still be causing Khan to

Ok... I will get them tested. Thank you. -- Linda in CA 2020 Midnight and Ostara https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Linda%20Midnight%20OStara

Another question is, I do have her on phyto-quench is that okay right now while she is doing poorly? -- Jessica and Khan N.D.,

I should mention though that I do buy it in bulk from Amazon, the capsules were just to get me through until my order came in. -- Bobbie and Desi (over the rainbow bridge 7/21) Utah, Nov 2018 NRC

My vet wants to put Khan on 21 days of Equioxx, and 7 days of Tylenol to help with pain. I know ECIR does not agree with continued use of NSAIDs but Khan is still in pain. How do I push back on my vet

Wilmary I gave my mare 15g of extra DC in addition to the PQ, Dr. K said you can safely double or triple that. The capsules I got have 480 mg so you would need 31 of these to equal 15,000

Possibly. When I weigh the hay I do so in addition to the empty net weight so really should be 13-14 pounds on the scale. I worry it’s more likely some of the barn staff weighs to ten pounds not

Hi Linda, It’s my understanding that Pergolide doesn’t have much effect on hair coat, or at least not as much as we’d like. You could try cutting back to see what happens. Whether you cut back

Hello Jeanine, Welcome to the group! A case history will help us answer more of your questions but the short answer is yes, PPID can have an obvious quick effect although it most likely was in

Hi Linda, I would want to test them at the current dose now that we are out of the seasonal rise and see if it's managing their PPID at this point before I would think about dropping to a lower

Hi Laura, Have you retested him (you only need to do the basal ACTH) to confirm if he's on an adequate dose of Prascend or if he needs more at this time? How is his current trim? Putting boots and
