Hi Bonnie, Dawn has had laminitis issues that show up early November. In the past I generally waited until Christmas (Winter Solstice) to lower the dosage. Have not lowered dosage in the past few

Carol yes these beautiful animals do grieve, every species have their own way and different traditions and ways of coping. Mystery did take me by surprise by the intensity of his attempts to bring sed

Thank you, Lavinia. Yes, I have pointed her to the website. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. She is even still in semi-denial about her horse being IR. I gather from

Hi Sally, Unfortunately, really should remove it entirely from the area. The plants aren't dead as soon as you pull them so they can continue to produce sugars, esp as they are now totally stressed.

Julie, I'm so sorry for your and Mystery's loss of Sedrick. How lucky that he was able to have both you and his best buddy be with him when he passed. You enabled Sed to leave this world knowing he

Hi Chris, Great job in getting that ACTH back to just about pre-seasonal normal and during the seasonal rise period to boot. How are Frankie's symptoms at this point? Eye goop, non-shedding and a bit
