I have a 9 year old mustang whose first laminitis episode was at 2 years. She is on her 4th episode and not improving (2 1/2 months now). She is not on grass, eats tested grass hay (.7 starch and 8.3

Thank you everyone who has chimed in. Figuring out this site process is still in the works, but I am eager for all help. I have gone back to soaking 2 out of 3 feedings. Not sure what to do about her

Thank you, Kirsten. I figured out a barrier to feed her separately so can soak again (although I appreciate the suggestion that all 4 could eat soaked hay). She is very sensitive and I keep thinking t

Thank you Sherry. I will look for the place to upload the hay tests. I do think her issues may be linked somehow!

I just uploaded them, but who knows if I put it in the right place...Still getting the hang of how to navigate the site!

Story went into laminitis the end of June, and its been her worst episode (4th). I am following vet, farrier, and Dr. Kellon's directions while also soaking hay. Sometimes I see her trotting for a bit

Your story brings tears because I understand so completely your love for Star. The stakes are high when we have a fragile horse and love them so much. This group helps a lot, since we're clearly not a

Hi, Sherry- The farrier came and did her feet 10 days ago. He said to wait until her next trim to x-ray again (11/6). She still has backward shoes on. He said her soles looked good; he was encouraged.

Thanks for your reply, Sherry. Her discomfort is most evident first thing in the morning. She still gets Equioxx with breakfast, but I am not sure how long to continue this. Some of the posts suggest

I would love to know the podcast. Thanks!

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kellon, the volunteers, and the community here. I find I am no longer alone in my research, my questions, my desire to do the best I can for my horses amidst a universe of conf

How much Jiaogulan do I give her? It should be arriving soon and I'm tapering the Equioxx.

I got back Story's bloodwork and x-rays. Her insulin is higher than ever (200). She is currently on mineral balancing, Vit E, Glycocemic EQ, Thyro L, Jiaogulan, & Flax. The vet suggested I try Metform

Thank you. I have tied nets to fences but then worry about they're (neck) posture. Would that be preferable to ground (pillow?) feeders or is it all OK?

My vet just supplied me with 1000 mg tablets and said to give Story 14 tablets (14,000 mg) twice a day...The document on this site says 30 mg twice a day...Help!

Thank you, Ronelle! I'm glad to know that the shaking helps prevent neck and poll stress. It often feels like we're one step behind their ingenuity and creativity:)

I kept noticing my mare wouldn't eat her morning grain (housing several supplements for IR) but she would eat the evening batch. The difference is the copper and zinc. So this morning I left those two

Good Morning, I would like a suggestion regarding your course offers. Currently working hard on my mare with laminitis so I would like to take your IR course (I have been learning a lot from ECIR as w

I found Uckele's Absorb All finally did the trick for my mare. We tried two other products previously with no change. My question is once this situation is gone, do we still supplement for it or is th

Is there a benefit to using PEA over Bute?
