Hello group, Doubtless this product has been discussed but I'm unable to search for history or find anything in the 'files' sections. Can anyone give me a quick thumbs up or down? I'm looking for a bi

Hi group, I joined in Sept 2014 with a severe IR mare who responded very well to pergolide, thanks to Dr. Kellon's advice. I'm very happy to report that she is now stable on 1.5mg/day, eating unsoaked

Hi Lavinia! Thanks for your reply. All excellent info. I have asked Dr. Kellon to consult privately about my gelding's case but I have a few specific questions for you, too, to further my education. I

Hi Lavinia, Thx for so much great info! I got my "mods" mixed up & for some reason thought you were way up in Canada--hence my detailed descrips abt New Holland, the Northeast, etc. (though NHolland i

So my gelding's leptin came back 8.32 ng/mL (norm 1-4). He's the 7yo Saddlebred with inexplicable nervous behavior that has been on gabapentin since April, 2014. He recently came up with two high insu

Thank you so much, ladies, for your swift assurances that my gelding is indeed not the outlier of leptin resistance that I fretted over. He is, in fact, in good company it seems! :) I find it very int

....so very impressive! Congrats to ECIR on your imminent milestone (12,000th) Maybe its the holiday spirit, or facing my own stark mortality (i was reminded that my 40th birthday is next week and do

Wait a sec....there's a Spring rise i have to worry about too? I just finally got to exhale after getting thru the Fall one!! Are there two seasonal rises to worry about with PPID per year? I'm a PPID

Fascinating! Thanks so much for the explanation. Ill def look into the archives et al. And ill pull my mares bloodwork to see if there was a bump in the insulin last Feb. Very interesting.... Thanks s

Im curious about the younger cases of PPID, as Im currently working up my 7yo gelding's unexpectedly severe IR & EMS bloodwork (insulin 47, leptin 8.3; I have an ACTH pending) What symptoms were the "

Hi friends, im looking for alternatives to the Vit E gel caps for my IRs -- ideally something non-liquid that won't freeze. Any recommendations? One of my IRs is getting some E in the 10#/day ODTB cub

No doubt this has been covered but I'm unable to search thru archives :( My mare, always suspicious of food, now refuses everything except hay b/c of the 'poisonous' Prascend she keeps 'finding' in wh

I mustve missed the TicTac thread. I desperately need a safe treat for my newly diagnosed IR gelding. He's a rescue with major mental baggage so positive reinforcement w treats has been crucial for tr

Unfortunately, one Stud Muffin would prob send my severely IR mare into a diabetic coma! I do very appreciate the interest, though! And knowing that the Stud Muffin is malleable is exceedingly helpful

Thanks so much for the tips -- Im definitely going to try the unsweetened applesauce and look into ordering the Nuzu nuggets as treats. In regard to peanuts that was mentioned -- it appears they are l

My mare is IR and very early PPID. She is on 1.5mg pergolide (Prascend). When her insulin is high she is profoundly lethargic and depressed. It can literally change day-to-day. In fact, I jump on her

Oops! Just saw that your post said your horse is not IR. I missed that in my first read. Sorry! Kerry in NY
