I’ve titrated Flame & Diana up to 5mg of Pergolide for the fall & I’m almost at the end of my 3 weeks on the 5mg. I’m planning on drawing insulin,glucose, ACTH & leptin on both horses. Flame is on Inv

Thank you for the replies. Nancy, what does the pea protein isolate do? Where do you get it and how much do you feed? Even with the l-carnitine I have not been able to get much of a change in Flames t

What are the differences between Invokana & Steglatro? I understand that they are they work similarly but why are some horses on one & others on the other? Are both as easily available? From searching

I forgot to mention that he is on about 1.5 cups of Stabul 1 per day. I can increase it. It’s such a balancing act to make sure he gets all his BP & supplements in. If I give him free choice hay he wi

Sherry- I labeled all of Flame's pics with the date they were taken. I agree- his weight looks better than it did in May. He had a very mild laminitic flare up in Feb or March & becasue of that & his

I drew Flame’s labs last week & sent them to Cornell. I gave 3mg Pergolide & 225mg of Invokana @ 4am & drew labs @ 8am on 7/19. Flame ate and had hay in front of him from the time the meds were given

My barn owner’s (who is also a close friend) horse is having a laminitic episode which started Thursday. She noticed the horse taking occasional “off steps” when getting him ready to ride & when ridin

Thank you Dr. Kellon. I will order from PureBulk Inc

Happy 4th of July & thank you Dr. Kellon & all the moderators for all you do for us! Quick question- is Acetyl L carnitine HCL the same as L carnitine? I’m looking at the Uckele product vs the PureBul

I just uploaded all of Flame’s urine dip results into his photo file. I will give Invokana & food & then draw another triglyceride after the holiday weekend. Exercise wise I was thinking of some short

Thank you for the reply Dr. Kellon. I will increase his feed as you suggested. He is currently getting 1.5 oz to f salt in his beet pulp, 1.5 oz on his hay & had a white salt block that he won’t touch

On 6/13 I drew labs from Flame. These are 2 months post starting Invokana. Labs were sent to Cornell because it was actually more cost efficient than having them run at the local lab. I drew labs at 8

Protein is 18.1 & nitrates are .36. Since the protein & nitrates are so high you had me reduce the amount of hay he was getting. Instead of his normal 8 pounds twice a day we want to 4 pounds of hay &

843 pounds. I don’t think he’s lost weight, I think my vet over estimated his weight.

Thanks Dr. Kellon. I will draw labs next Monday & I’ll get a chemistry panel as well as triglycerides. By free choice do you mean as much as he will eat? If I do that he will fill himself up on hay &

Flame had a minor laminitic flare up at the end of March. He had moderate pulses in both fronts but L>R. He was sore & uncomfortable but I wouldn’t say actually lame. He’s been doing daily arena turn

Thanks Dr. Kellon! Tomorrow I’ll give the full L carnitine dose & go to half hay & half cubes.

I started the L carnitine today. It’s pretty “fishy” smelling so I’m starting with small increments. Flame is currently eating 5# of my hay (analysis is in his case history folder) twice a day & 3 pou

Flame eats it in a small handful of his treats. I alternate between unsalted pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds & split green peas. I just put the pill & his Pergolide capsule on the top of the small handf

Thanks Nancy!! I’m obviously still very bad at math word problems lol
