I was reading in another thread that horse dosing is 4-6 times more than human dosing. Would this also apply to topical applications of Lidocaine patches or Voltaren Gel? Thanks. -- Trisha

Hi Bonnie. I have used Voltaren Gel. But I knew I was using it for arthritis and therefore, clipped the hairs over the arthritic areas to ensure maximum skin absorption. I did not see a huge

The best thing you can do for him is a thorough lameness exam to find out what's going on and what the treatment options are. NSAIDs don't treat anything. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC

Hi Bonnie, It's a NSAID so basically the same effect as Bute. You may want to add support wraps for him as well if he'll let you. Do both back legs. Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the

Flying S Hay Sales in Redwood Valley, CA has low S/s hay. He buys hay up in the Klamath Falls area and he tests ALL his hay. Maybe he can deliver. Jim's number is 707-485-8156 -- Angie October

Terri, Cass asked me to give you my hay info, but I imagine you are hoping to find something closer to home. I get my hay from Flying S Ranch Sales in Redwood Valley. Their number is 707-485-8156

That's frustrating. We know "preparing a paper" can take years if its not on the forefront of the researcher's agenda, and in the end it may never be published. Case in point being the data for

A glucose as low as 50 mg/dL is evidence that the blood sample was not processed correctly. If you had insulin measured at the same time, it will be artificially low, too. Your vet should be able to
