So happy for you and Vinnie, Nancy. Thanks for the update :)

Hi Linda, Just for clarity's sake - a colic due to dorsal displacement is NOT a gas colic. Glad that Midnight has been doing better.

Hi Lynn, Quick look says a lot of things got tightened up that needed it. Most horses would rather gallop up a hill than trot at a measured pace - it's a lot easier to just take off and run. Yes, his

Hi Cass, I don't see any real changes either, except that she is standing much more normally on the RH, rather than having the dropped fetlock. Sole depth on hinds is good, thin on the fronts. Toes ne

Hi Kimberly, Here is the link to your photo Album: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=275222 Your ACTH is very good, so no need to change the pergolide dose. The insulin is way too high, wh

Hi Lynn, I've added mark-ups to Relevante's album: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=36909&p=Created%2C%2C%2C50%2C2%2C0%2C0 The boy is looking good - actually, a bit too good as he really

Hi Joy, Hard to say as it really depends on how the "bad" trim is done. If it doesn't back up the toes and lowers the heels, it would be worse. If it backs the toes somewhat, it's a step in the right

Hi Robin, Here are a couple of other sources for Jiaogulan: https://www.mybesthorse.com/buy-now.html https://www.herbalcom.com/index.cfm?CFID=42001653&CFTOKEN=88001178&jsessionid=8e302cdda6ce7cfbc6e66

Hi Joy, I've added mark-ups to Willie's album: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=275142 The toes on all his feet are way too far forward and the heels are seriously underrun - hinds much w

Hi Joy, Glad to hear that Willie is doing better. Thanks for adding the 2015 rads - it's helpful to see what the bony column situation is there. Good that you have rasping the toes back as that really

Hi Robin, Alfalfa hay can be problematic and cause foot soreness, so given Hogans present situation, we'd recommend stopping the alfalfa.

HI Pat, You've done a lot of good things to get your girl into an overall better place. Now you need to fine tune things so that they are optimal instead of just "better". Allowing grazing for an IR h

Hi Janet, Would be nice if it did but no, it won't help.

Hi Suzanne, I've added mark-ups to Pilgrim's album: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=90935 Trim is improving, with concavity progressing, so definitely on the right track. General wall fl

Hi Tara, To give you the best answer we need a case history for him. What is his ideal weight? What does he weigh now? What is he eating and how much of it? Has his exercise routine changed? Has the h

Definitely not an easy situation for both of you. If you want a sole shot, can she just tip the foot forward onto the toe without actually lifting it up off the ground? Sometimes it helps to stand her

Hi Cass, Generally, using the wedge pads might make sense from the plantar angle perspective. However, because her fetlock angle is so low, wedges might not be comfortable for her because the increase

The Assure Guard contains dextrose (sugar). Given Hogan's super high insulin, I would remove it as you need to make his diet super tight right now.

Hi Robin, Definitely get him off the NSAIDs, gabapentin, isoxsuprine (doesn't work orally in equines). The pain is from the laminitis due to the insulin being sky-high. The laminitis and the trim mech

Hi Meghan, Napoleon's case history says he's a 13.3h Mustang gelding. Is that correct? One set of his blood work says Mustang, the other Irish Hunter/Draft. Could you please clarify that for us. You c
