My fault! I misunderstood -- I did not realize the Lyme had already been treated with oral doxy and was refractory (hence why I was wondering why everyone was jumping to the IV protocols). I was

Hi Kerry, Agree that the titre is "not really that high". But it IS positive and Lyme is a very insidious disease that drives other issues. Libby has PPID, uncontrolled IR and sore feet that have not

Hi new member Need a lot more detail to give specifics, but I would keep him off the pine until you ascertain his IR/PPID status. All trees have sap flow as part of their biology and have sugar and

Hi K, >I did also say that she would receive pergolide during the autumn, but not the high dose she started on, and my reason for this IS fear of laminitis. I just reread what you said here.

Hi K, Semantics are important. I have a question. You said: " Im not here to debate the semantics of the english language, but I should have said, not at immediate risk." Can you tell us what an

Hi Mandy Thanks for your reply it all looks very technical to my untrained eye what is the pergolide veil? My vet did a fasting ecth test that would have been her 4th time, she has had the fatty

Hi all, Im not here to debate the semantics of the english language, but I should have said, not at immediate risk. I appreciate that you have strong feelings about the use of pergolide. I simply do
