Nicolle, Keep to the Devil's Claw. Also add Jiaogulan. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

I love the smell of jiaogulan in the morning. (I’ve been wanting to write that for years, lol) None of my horses have ever objected to jiaogulan sprinkled on top of their feed or as a paste in a

Kimberly, Insulin is a moving target. It responds to the glucose (and protein) load presented to it. Fasting insulin with no glucose or amino acids being absorbed should be less than 8

Don't worry about that. I just don't know if Lavinia can do your markups with those photos. If you want to try the sole shots again, I think those are the ones that need the most improvement. --

This is a bit of a learning curve, Rene, so no need to be sorry. Very few people (myself included) get this right on the first (or second) shot. It's a case of practice makes perfect :) Thanks for

No, starving will only cause a bigger insulin spike with meals because then every meal occurs after a fast, which is worse. Some vets recommend down to 1% of body weight but if they don't need to

I have been following your situation with your precious baby. I came to this group with a pregnant mare who foundered and laid down for 5 weeks. My heart goes out to you. To keep cool have you

Hi Nicolle, Dr. Kellon may have answered your previous question about this here.Not meaning to speak for her: https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/message/280828 How is Elsa doing today? -- Lorna in Eastern

Hi Kirsten, we did a "fasting" test to see if they would be closer to an optimum normal range. That is why I had the question about Chromium. I am not sure how to get it down lower, except by

What is the opinion on this mixture? Dried Clivers, Hawthorn Berry, Rosehips, Nettle Leaf, Devils Claw Root and Whilte Willow Bark. Do you feel that is a good mixture or should I just keep to the

Lyme Test Results just came in, negative. She has been on 5 g Doxy 2x daily and has two doses left on that Rx. Should I keep on the Doxy or go back to the Apo Sulfatrim? -- Nicolle D in BC Canada

I totally understand the need for budgeting as Prascend is ridiculously expensive. I just think insulin now would help you decide if you need to make the extra effort of soaking all Zahr's hay or

I would do .5mg per day for 3-4 days and then go up if she tolerates that well. If you have APF start that now. -- Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary Response PA

A question about your recent reply. I have brrn giving 2 ounces of salt i for years. But never thought of going higher. Should I be going higher if a horse is sweating? And how high would you go?

Agree with Sherry that you need to aggressively increase the pergolide dose. That ACTH is waaaaay higher than you want it to be, and we are not at the peak of the rise yet (late Sept). We usually

Thanks Sherry! I am overnighting Prascend today and will start her on 4 mg. Given that it is not compounded and is more than the 2 mg of compounded I am getting now. I am presuming more than doubling

Huh. I am going to get the whole plant product, since this is an the extract. I suspect any studies done have been with the whole plant? I thought I read horses would go off feed if given this herb

Make sure you are getting salt into her too. She was obviously dehydrated and stressed on that blood work. Very dangerous to use bute in a dehydrated animal so stick with the Devil's Claw. If you can
