Hi Cass, I'll be getting him tested again in the spring but you could be right. Although, his PPID was so low at his recheck I do think it was controlled during the rise. The IR however is a different

Thank you Trisha, I am going to the links now. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and get me those links!

It might LJ, but he does have pretty severe TMJ (and possible THO - I can't afford the ultrasound & hauling to/from the hospital for definitive dx right now) so his jaw is most likely sore from the sp

Thank you Bobbie. I think they do do it that way because they can do more horses in the visit.

Welp. Willie was doing *fantastic* for about 3 months. Everything has been dialed in, diet is tight, and he's been getting lots of walk abouts and turn outs. Happy, sound pony. I planned on starting l

I'm so sad to hear about Jesse. As everyone else has said, you have been an amazing and conscientious owner, someone we can/have learned from. Thank you for sharing him with this group. Take good care

Thank you Dr. K, so glad to know this!

Dr. Kellon, would it be safe to compost the manure then? I had thought it would be a bad idea. Thank you.

Please don't feel horrible Lynn. 5 different vets and 3 different hoof care professionals never once mentioned thrush with regards to my horse. In fact, my gelding was diagnosed navicular by 2 vets, w

Hi Daisy, You might look into electric fencing. If it's a small area, you could put some up pretty inexpensively. They run on solar and you can also use backup batteries. It's a very temporary fix, an

Hi Ronda, Kruse Feed in La Habra carries a very nice Timothy. Have you spoken to anyone there? They do deliver to all of Southern CA. I don't know if they test or not, but you might be able to get a f

Ah, I misread, I missed "carrier product". Sorry! Ignore me.

I'm pretty sure the active ingredient on both of those products is the same one; diclofenac. Not sure how it would be better absorbed because it is in a differently named product?

Very good to know, thanks Dr. Kellon, I'll keep a close eye.

"I would stop the Chastetree berry because there is always the potential for it to decrease pergolide effects." Dr. Kellon, is this only a possibility or is it inevitable? I ask because I recently add

Hi Kelly, My experience with my horse & Equioxx was not good. My vet prescribed it as safe him to be on indefinitely so my gelding was on a pill a day for 1 1/2 years. It caused mouth and throat ulcer

Yes, that's the correct hay/test. Thanks so much Cass, this is exactly what I was hoping to find out. My hay supplier had it tested, but I will re test using several of the bales and proceed according

I got a delivery of new hay this weekend, with lower ESC + starch levels than I've been feeding, so very happy about that. (I uploaded the jpg of the hay test). I have searched the files & messages to

My horse did the same thing with his flax that your horse did. He suddenly refused anything with flax it in it. He started eating it again when I bought bulk flax seeds from the feed store that I grin

I'm very sorry, Kim, to hear of the loss of your dear friend Shomee. You are a very good friend to him to let him go when he needed to. It's the hardest most agonizing decision we make as their stewar
