I should add that the carbohydrate analysis for the CR Pro Fiber Crunch reported by Mad Barn ( https://madbarn.com/feeds/cr-profibre-crunch-trouw-nutrition/ ) is alarming to say the least with 16% DM starch (!!!), given that the Trow Nutrition website describes this feed as:

• A safe feed option for horses that have metabolic disorders, Cushings disease or have foundered (< 10% NSC).
• Contains no added sugar and minimal starch...

Maybe it's time for me to cut it out of Shaku's diet.  I should at least call them and ask them about this major discrepancy, but I've tried contacting Trow Nutrition recently to ask about another new low carb feed my vet suggested ( https://www.trouwnutrition.ca/en/HiPro-products/step-right-products/genapro/) and I found their online "Contact Us" feature doesn't work, nor is there a phone number anywhere that I can call.

There is no carb analysis on the Mad Barn site for the Integri-T.

Hi Joanne,

thank you for taking the time to look at all of the photos and comment with your good information and advice!  I started her back on the flax seed oil and she has been eating well. Maybe it is my imagination, but her eyes seem brighter already!  I will post any info that I get from the vet. 

Thank you again!

Francine,

Just a suggestion, can you try mixing this (dry) in very small amounts with the Amino Trace+ pellets (like 1 x 100-g scoop of each)?  This feed is not going to provide anywhere near the minerals the AT+ does, it's really just a source of added calories and protein and a little bit more minerals than you'd typically find in hay but given the serving size not nearly enough Cu and Zn to be helpful, especially considering the high iron in it.  Useful as a taste tempter but not as a hay balancer.  This looks like a complete analysis of it:
https://madbarn.com/feeds/integri-t-purina-canada/
Also, 2500 ppm iron is really high when you consider iron in hay >500 ppm is unsafe to feed.  Feed as little as possible of the Integri-T.

I mix 0.5 cups of the CR Pro Fiber Crunch in to my horse's meals and the pellets mix in with the AT+, which is also ok in small amounts, like up to 2 cups a day.  Because the pellets mix in together I assume that the AT+ becomes indistinguishable in taste and texture.  Not sure if you can get it in Quebec, but it is everywhere in western Canada.  The iron is lower (400ppm) and it has more alfalfa and beet pulp in the base, but otherwise is basically identical to the Purina Integri-T.  It smells nice, like apples.

If Magic is sensitive to alfalfa, it might not be a good idea...you'd have to weigh that against the high iron in the Integri-T and it's potential effect on IR.

Thanks! On GoodRx it's significantly cheaper than Invokana ($530 for 30 days of Invokana versus $150 for 30 days Steglatro)

Hi Nancy,

I've uploaded a quick mark-up for the LF:

https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/photo/245855/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0

Yellow hashed line is where the bone would be. Really need to bring that medial quarter inward to remove excess pressure, as well as to keep the entire hoof capsule from twisting medially. Also need more off the toe. Coffin bone is ground parallel, which is adding to the stresses on the arthritis he has on P2, and to the tendons/ligaments along the back of his leg.

Sorry. I don’t know the name but Dr. Kellon sent it in an email to my vet with the other Invokana info. I never dealt directly with the pharmacy. My vet’s office did.

Hello Sherry,

just to clarify she is blanketed and will be keeping her blanketed as she seems to do better when she is. So do you mean I still adjust for feeding with temps and windchill of blanketed too?  You mentioned she might be fine ‘as is’ and she enter to clarify she is blanketed.

I am so grateful to have this forum for support and information. Laminitis can be very lonely and extremely scary.

Thanks Dr Kellon.  That’s a relief. We are under some brutal temps now with -33C last night and today and tonight - 37C with windchill.  Plus we got a foot and half of snow so she is trudging through deep snow until we get the pens cleared.

I have been keeping her in socks, boots and shipping wraps but this am with the deeper snow I added bags over the socks to keep them from getting wet until I get her pen cleared. Maybe not ideal but should be ok for the short term I am hoping.

Just got info’s sake what are the safe ranges for insulin and glucose for an IR horse? I tried to find it by searching and found a lot of messages but not that really outlined the ranges?

Will keep an eye on her and so far no indication of lameness.  Fat deposits are good as well.  She is a bit spooky and silly but perhaps due more to the winter storm.  I fed her according to temps with windchill as she didn’t want to go in her shed much with the storm. But maybe I should not do that if she is blanketed?  Thoughts?

I should also mention I added in l-arginine for the cold winter now.  Thanks again!!

P.S.  Remember too he has extensive arthritis changes in P2 at the pastern joint which could certainly cause pain (although obviously not sole tenderness).
