Hi Chris, Great job in getting that ACTH back to just about pre-seasonal normal and during the seasonal rise period to boot. How are Frankie's symptoms at this point? Eye goop, non-shedding and a bit

Julie, I'm so sorry for your and Mystery's loss of Sedrick. How lucky that he was able to have both you and his best buddy be with him when he passed. You enabled Sed to leave this world knowing he wa

Hi Sally, Unfortunately, really should remove it entirely from the area. The plants aren't dead as soon as you pull them so they can continue to produce sugars, esp as they are now totally stressed. T

Hi Claudia, Your friend's horse is only IR, not PPID. Cortisol is not a reliable test for PPID as there are many, many other factors that will also elevate it. Cortisol's role is to help maintain body

Hi Erin, If the vet will sign the forms and you can use their account to ship the samples then you can send it to Cornell. Check out Cornell's website as they also provide discounted shipping labels.

Hi Sue, Take-off on the Nolan hoof plate. Might be useful as a Band-Aid to help stabilize a foundered hoof and provide temporary pain relief until a realigning trim is on board but won't actually cure

Hi Erin, I'll send you an invite to join ECHistory8, that should get you in and able to access things. What town in ME are you in? Anywhere near Lemoine? Believe me when I say you aren't the only one

Hi Erin, The link works fine - good work. Thanks for getting the case history and pics up. I moved your photos into the photos section of ECH8 so they are simpler to view and because pics take up a lo

Hi Lauren, Technically, grain is not "off-limits" for a horse that ONLY has PPID. That warning is more geared to IR horses but many PPID horses either already are or will develop IR to some degree so

Posting this for Jan: Hi Lavinia, One is getting .25 and the other .50. Their ACTH came back high at 39 and the other 66. Vet thought to up dosage to .50 for one and .75 for the other. I have been get

Hi Jan, Have you been using the liquid pergolide from the compounding pharmacy? That is the least stable form and is not at full potency after 14 to 30 days, depending on the formulation. Even if kept

I have been using capsules not the liquid pergolide. My vet has already ordered the Prascend for me. I will ask for a prescription for the compounded form when this is gone. Can I put the dissolved Pr

Hi Jan, Yes, you can put the dissolved Prascend on the food. How are you viewing the list - from individual email messages, daily digest or online? Depending on how you are accessing , there are diffe

Posting for Jan: Hi Lavinia, I have been cutting the half of Prascend with a pill cutter. It is pretty easy. Both horses thyroid tests ran in the low to just below the low until I started the thyro-l

Hi Genae (?), Welcome to the list. Kudos to you for listening to your horse instead of just ignoring the obvious symptoms that something wasn't right. For IR exercise IS the best medicine. We are goin
