Thank you, Jaini, for the ideas and reply. The vet and I agree that Thunder is likely dealing with PPID based on his physical appearance and symptoms. Because we have so many that we are treating at t

As we search for any underlying causes of our herd's founder, I've been looking at some of the plants in our hay field to check for toxicity since none of them are on green pasture. I'm familiar with

I was able to download everything, and I've passed all this on to my farrier. We have a trim coming soon in the next week. I'll post updates afterward. Thanks again for the wealth of information.

Thank you. That eases my mind. We were finally able to get him up, and he's not bearing weight on his front left. He's a hurting guy, but at least I have experience in how to address the lameness. Tha

Thank you. It was a very scary few hours. I'm mostly thankful it is not likely to be an outcome of starting Prascend because I'm so hopeful that will help him in the long run. I suspect he has an absc
