Thank you!  I have had many people in other groups tell me I am being cruel to him by not putting him down.  I assure you I have no intention of cruelty.  HE is still fighting so I am fighting too.

Hi Anne. Unfortunately, your signature is not sticking to your posts. Can you please try again? And be sure to save.  Stop the high sugar foods....If you are still feeding the stuff you listed from before, it will contribute to inflammation and thus won't help the pain. The emergency diet cuts the sugar right down to more manageable levels. soaking the hay and getting rid of the grain is key in decreasing inflammation and thus pain. Later, you can fine tune his diet..... How long has he been on Bute? How long on Isoxuprine?

What can I do for pain/  If I quit Bute, I am afraid he will be in more agony.  I am getting him on the emergency diet.  Ordered everything needed.  I live in Michigan.  What farrier do you recommend?  My vet is supposed to be a laminitis professional and a farrier but I am open to anything to save him.

I added the signature.  Sorry about that.  The vet just had me pick up more Bute and Isoxsuprine.  Should I refrain from using both?  I have ordered Phtyo-Quench and flax seed and magnesium.  They will not be here until Monday.  What can I do to help relieve the pain for him?  I should mention we are doing red light therapy and Bemer.  

I have uploaded the photos and case history.  I am hoping I did it correctly.  i have ordered the phyto-quench pellets.

One more suggestion for the picky eater, Uckele's Cocosoya oil. It helps minerals stick to the feed and is pretty tasty and safe as long as you do not overdo the amount of oil. I also found Animed Brewers Yeast was a good taste tempter. I couldn't begin to get enough the Uckele Amino-Trace into my horse. So I fed him as much as he would tolerate. Same with salt. He would only eat so much.

Hi Kandace,

Update the copy you have saved on your device by adding the latest info but don't delete the older info. That way, you have a running history that just keeps getting longer. It's a great tool for you to use with your vet as well, should you ever need to.

Then, delete the current copy you have here in your CH folder. If someone else uploaded the copy here, give us a heads-up and one of the Mods can delete the older copy for you.

Upload the latest version into your CH folder here, preferably as a .pdf so everyone can access it easily, regardless of the device they are using.

 Considering her age, the 129 is likely in a grey zone but age is the major risk factor for PPID and it occurs along a slow continuum.  You could try taking her off in late winter to early Spring but will likely need to resume it late July.

LJ,

Add a chemistry screen. That will give you glucose as well as kidney and liver function.

In a related question, Sherry, Do we leave the old CH's in folder, leaving only new (replace or add new to whole file)?

I have purchase from Petmeds.ca at about $2.45 per day included everything, including shipping.  slow at this time of year, due to volume but somewhat less than my vet.  I contacted a local compunding pharmacy that advertised doing animal scripts, but they couldn't or wouldn't do Levothyroxine.  I have not asked them about Pergolide.  In my small town there are two pharmacy's advertising the service.  Takes no time to find out if you have the script to send or show them.

Sherry,
I got results by phone a day ago, haven't done CH update, but the "J" is is now a 22 and in the mid range of normal.  Do you still hold with the leave her on Prascend or would it be an option to pull her off 3 weeks prior to spring test to see where she goes?   Background infor to this question- I have had her tested in spring off and on over the years, this past fall was first time tested after May.  Previous tests were with in normal range.

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas, Sherry and everyone.

Hi Tara,

Here’s a link to your previous post.  The two threads have the same names but don’t seem to be linked.

There’s really no accurate way of knowing how much of a dose increase it would take to bring him into range.  I would plan to at least double what he’s getting now, increasing the dose by half a Prascend at a time for a few days.  After reaching a stopping point, wait three weeks and then test again.  Eventually, you can adjust his pergolide based on disconcerting symptoms and test less frequently.  There’s really no harm in giving more than necessary and the dose can always be decreased.

If you have had problems with a veil, you may want to pretreat.
