Lesley, It would be very helpful for us if you could take and post current trim pictures and any x-rays you have so we can advise where the trim can be improved. Is she in boots now? Thanks, Sherry

Kirsten, I do think her pain is not well controlled. She gets 2 scoops of phytoquench with DC a day. Straight DC is being delivered soon. She still shifts weight over feet Being treated for gastric

Definitely NOT old news but good news (and exciting for me because it's all local vets who were involved). Not out on PubMed unfortunately and it was just published last month: Genomic hybrid capture

Toni, As already suggested you can use the timothy balance cubes to provide her roughage as they only require some basic additions as they are balanced to themselves. They are fed at a 3:4 ratio to
