Hi Deb, In order to stretch the socks out, after I washed them, I would dry them while applied to a 2 foot length of 4 inch diameter PVC pipe (two socks per piece of pipe). This made them much easier

No Idexx result; I don't have easy access since the move. Yes to ECIR mineral balancer since August; before that I was doing it myself, but the new hay was a little "challenging" (thank you Kathleen!)

Hello, I just wanted to provide a quick update on Cadet; I am thrilled with his new results from 10/6/21! His glucose fell from 104 mg/dL on 8/18/21 to 86 mg/dL (RR 71-122 mg/dL) and his insulin fell

Hello, I will update his CH asap, but I retested Ruger recently after his dosage was increased from 3.0 mg QD to 3.5 mg QD in late August. His ACTH at that time was 24.4 pg/mL, but I was concerned abo

Hi Alicia, I would be happy to share Cadet's journey, but have poor cell phone reception. Zoom meetings seem to work though. Thanks for doing this!

Thank you, Kirsten and Cass, for your thoughts. Both hay analyses are in Cadet's CH folder (from July and August of this year). I started out feeding the higher S/S hay, but noticed some return of his

Hello, Cadet has lost weight since our move; his calculated weight is 1014 lbs as of earlier this month, compared to 1100 lbs in May. I have uploaded new body shots. Also, does anyone have experience

To the group: Does anyone have any comments on the OP's concern about drought? I have also been discouraged from soaking my preferred hay, which was good for most factors but S/S, because of local dro

Darn it! I could have sworn that I updated his CH correctly this time. Try, try again. His most recent insulin was 76.57 uIU/mL (RR 10-40 uIU/mL). It was 338 uIU/mL prior to the Invokana, 137.5 uIU/mL

Hello, I am happy to report that Cadet is doing better in his new boarding facility. Although he is only out on his track for 4-5 hours a day right now (wearing a closed muzzle), I have to assume the

Hello, Ruger has been doing really well and loves his new track. His asthma has been much better since he is no longer eating from a round bale. His CH is updated. When I checked his ACTH in early Jul

Hi Cass, Any interest in selling it? Since we have moved, I am no longer associated with a veterinary practice, but can submit my own samples. I was planning on asking a local practice if I can spin t

Hi Kathy, We board our horses and muddy footing is a constant concern that is often not shared by barn owners, in my experience. In 2018, we invested in 400 Mud Control tiles (https://www.facebook.com

Thank you Lavinia! I'll pass these recommendations along.

Hello, Cadet had new radiographs taken on 7/6/21, ten days after his most recent trim. I would appreciate any comments on them prior to his next trim (with a new trimmer, very hard to find out here) o

Thank you Dr. Kellon! Do you mean that I should recheck Cadet's Cornell results before I decide about increasing the pergolide dosage?

Thank you Martha!

Hello, As I detailed in another message, we made it to Washington intact. Ruger traveled like a champ. His Cornell ACTH result in early July was 21.4 pg/mL (RI 2-35 pg/mL). I was thinking that, once h

Hello, Cadet gave me a scare by developing sore feet at the boarding barn during the 4 days that we were driving from Michigan to Washington. I had a veterinarian check him for two days prior to his t
