Hi Courtney, See the message Cass just posted about this Re: New member (groups.io) and also remember that you need to address Ribbon's trim as part of her recovery. Looking at the x-rays from last

My PPID and IR mare , Mica, is still suffering from her soles being carved out by my trimmer. I have her in boots with pads but three weeks after the incident she is still barely able to walk. I’m

Sue, you said you use the first column and I replied that I use that one as well. I just added the part on starch so others would not be confused if they read your mention of “ESC + sugar”. --

I just voted , filled out the form, and submitted with no problems! -- Valerie and Matera Aug 2018 Athens, GA, USA Case History Photo Album Ω

Hi Everyone, Thank you for the responses! Yes, she did have a trim shortly after the most recent x-rays were taken. She is currently in shoes and full pads. I will definitely look into the milk of

Good morning, Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on other pain alternatives to try? Ribbon if off NSAID's now, but I cannot get her to eat the Phyto-quench with DC, I bought the granular

Sue, the way you feed hay is the same as "As Sampled," meaning "as is." That's how we feed our horses, so that is the result we use. The difference between "As Sampled" and "Dry Matter" isn't a matter

Oh okay! Thx so much Sherry. No IR horse, Ms. Tailight is PPID, but will still do the wet chem. :) Thx and happy Monday! -- Sharon Bice December 2020 Sandia Park, New Mexico Taillight's Case

Hi Sharon, That's nothing new as far as EA pushing NIR over wet chem. You do need to bear in mind that if you have a non-IR horse the 30% difference we've seen in some tests may not be a big deal.

Over the years we've had members test side-by-side NIR and Wet Chem and found up to 30% difference in results. I just did the same with my current crop. The NIR ESC result was 26% less than Wet

Hi Nancy! A very friendly lady at Equine Analytic labs just told me their lab person is writing a scientific article (sorry not sure of the exact wording) about how NIR has usually so similar results

Thanks, Sherry -- I was referring to those feeds on the "safe feeds" list, (such as TC Timothy Balance Cubes and Nuzu Stabul1), and which values should we be looking at: "As Sampled" or "Dry
