I have increased her Prascend to 2 mg /day by syringe. I am positive she is getting it. I don't feel comfortable increasing the metformin until she gets the vet visit on Monday. The xrays were taken

I believe the vet sends the prescription to them, but they can ship directly to you. If I had the resources I'd test insulin and glucose at every opportunity....so it's up to you I think. If you want

Hi Jan, As long as Baby is in pain, soak her hay. 8% ESC+starch is safe for some horses, but not others. And if she's in acute laminitis you want to do all you can to lower the sugar and starch

Hi Kelly You should be able to directly upload the photos off your phone into your album. If you go to your album link CaseHistory@ECIR.groups.io | Album in whatever browser your phone uses, you can

Hi Gina I have included our full welcome message below. It is a lot of information, so please take your time to read it carefully. Some people print it out and take notes. Thank you for starting a

I actually did but was not good about responding to everything. I thought I remembered all the questions but failed to. I apologize. Based on the earlier feed back, I added all of the pictures

Kelly, I'm guessing you didn't see the responses to your last question regarding Micah's xrays: https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/topic/83162537#265495 Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the

Hi Gina, You'll be getting a full welcome message shortly but if Cody's ACTH was 70 when last tested in the spring of this year the current dose of Prascend is not enough and that's probably why he's

Hi Kelly, Attachments aren't accepted here - you need to upload the pictures/rads to your photo album or provide the link to the rads, if that is what the vet provided. The link in your signature

I believe that the attached photo "album" contains both radiographs from 2014 and 2021. I don't have more information about the 2021 radiographs. I asked the vet to send the radiographs that were

Tara, I am offering my opinions about "High Iron" hay. In my experience a large % of iron is actually on the outer surface of the hay. High iron in hay probably means high iron soil. When rain falls

Hi Betty, Many horses avoid peeing on hard surfaces. It may make life easier for both of you if his mats have shavings on them to soak up the urine.Shavings make lying down more comfortable,too. --

Thanks Kirsten for the feedback. I will start back to light work as in hand working and ground work and see how it goes. I will also discuss with my vet the compounded pergolide option but have some

Tara, With ACTH that high, creeping up isn't likely to get the job done. I'd bump it up 2 mg and if that doesn't work consider cabergoline. Putting him on Jiaogulan won't break the bank and may help

Hi Heather, May 13th was when she was only getting 0.5mg Prascend, right? Her insulin (180 pmol/L = ~30 uIU/ml) was not high enough at the time of testing to cause acute laminitis, although it could

Yes it's is still elevated 200 on acth from 380 ..he is now 7mg compounded whichbis equal to about 5.3 pracend. He is pretty comf.but Insulin is still at 160 as well..starting creeping up on the

Hi Betty, You must have me confused with someone because I've never tested urine with a glucose strip! But maybe I suggested trying the puddle, I don't remember... :) I would start working on

Hi Melanie, Good news that the farrier won't be touching the soles - AT ALL. Testing for Lyme is also a good idea. Generally, the trim is fairly tight. Her soles are thin, so at the moment there is
