Thanks Dr. Kellon, I am downloading all of these and am waiting for a call from her now to discuss. She is only looking at Cornell's reference range and drawing a conclusion from there that they are

Thank you Jocelyn, I actually have some dandelion root at home. One of my dogs has CHF and I try to keep the use of furosemide down as a diuretic. Would you know dosage for horse. My dog can have 6

and Kirsten, thank you for your encouraging words. I am feeling a bit like I will never get this resolved but with Mustangs, it is an ongoing and often uphill battle. I know well as I have 7 of

This might help too https://wp.me/p2WBdh-1hR . If you do any research on insulin levels in normal horses you will find they are always less than 10 when fasting and only in the 20s after a grain

Thanks so much. Sometimes I have a hard time trying to get the vet to buy into any of this. -- Kimberly joined 7.17.2018

I have uploaded the new photos and they are dated 07-24. I used the links from your response to update my signature. I hope I did that right :). -- Rene` in WI

Here is the original study on normal insulin (nonfasting) https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/files/Blood%20Testing%20for%20IR%20and%20PPID/IR%20PROXIES%20ORIGINAL.pdf , then this field study of ponies on

I'm sure there are some adjustments that could be made (there always is!) but I would be very pleased with that trim if she was my horse. There does appear to be a little medio-lateral imbalance on

Kirsten can you point me to that research? Vet says they are all normal, with Ryn o the high end. -- Kimberly joined 7.17.2018

Hi Nicole, Please consider using Micro ingredients Organic Dandelion root 20:1 extract (powder) from Amazon, which will take several days to get to you. When it arrives, use the scoop in the package

I wonder if that teff hay was higher in calories (and sugars or protein) and more digestible. Were you weighing that hay or was it fed ad lib? In addition to high ESC and starch, high protein hays

Hi Kimberly, Those insulin numbers aren't terrible and your work is paying off. I don't think Metformin is necessary since they are not in danger of laminitis. Obviously it would be good to see

Sorry, Ryn was Glucose 107, Insulin 40.48 Leptin 25.30 and Mouse was Glucose 99 Insulin 28.58 and Leptin 13.00. The vet read what the label on the container from Uckele says and thinks it will help.

I agree that tiny amount is not likely to have much influence, good or bad. Please get your case history updated so everything is in one place. You are going to need to address all aspects of drugs,

Pictures can go in your photo album on the case history sub group. That teff would need to be soaked to be suitable as the ESC+starch is right at 10%. Do you know if that test as well as the other

Is there any way you can have the hay soaked for all feedings? It can be done ahead and then allowed to dry. In addition to getting the trim addressed that's one thing I would change ASAP. Keep in

Thank you Kirsten! I have requested a copy of her oral sugar test from the vet so can hopefully share results soon. I have spoken to a couple vets in our area about running insulin and glucose bloods

Hi Mikela, Thanks for getting the photos up. Unfortunately, part of Zahr's issue is that his trim needs a lot of work. His toes are still way too far out ahead of where they need to be. His HPA is

Photos are up - they are the ones from July 22. -- Mikaela Tapuska in Calgary AB, 2021 Case History: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Mikaela%20and%20Zahr Photo Album :

Hi Sherry, The May hay analysis is the current one, yes, and Zahr's hay is soaked for his feedings at bring in and night check but not for the AM or midday feedings. I'll get current trim photos up
