I need to find a vet who is knowledgeable about the treatment of Equine Cushings. I live in Southwest Missouri and have just received results of a Dex Suppression test that confirm Cushings in my 15-y

I do not have a place to dry lot Rudy. He has never shown any foot tenderness or laminiticsymptoms. I have tried to watch his weight, putting him in the corral overnight when grass is rank and when he

Elva, you are the reason I joined this list. :) I knew Dex Suppression was not good from research I did. But never dreamed the famous vet in our area would test that way!!! I thought he was an expert!

Linda, I am still trying to digest the information that has been presented and to see how it applies to my horse and how I might implement it. I am overwhelmed to get so much interest and support. :)

Thanks for the valuable information, Maggie. I do try to watch his weight. He has been fatter. He has no cresty neck, has never had sole tenderness in the 13 years we have had him. He gets Remission,

Mandy, I tried to join the ECR8 group, but it will not accept my registration. Judy

Thanks, I will try to do the history tomorrow. :)

Got the two-month supply of powder, and a bill for $155.00 That is about the same as Prascend, or more! I will start titrating it tonight. I am still looking for a receptive vet. I have a couple of po

I have still got problems with the ECHistory8 group. I don't seem to have membership privileges. I do have an appointment Tuesday for Rudy and me with a vet who will compound Pergolide. She is less th

Dear Sue, My vet told me to feed Nutrena Safe Choice Special Care. My greedy horse eats it, but likes his orchard grass hay better. I give him a cup morning and night so I can feed him his supplements

Dear K, I have had good results keeping my Cushings horse in a corral overnight and then turning him out with a grazing muzzle with my other horses in a two acre pasture for about 8 hours a day. He ca

I can't/don't do everything the group recommends either, Teshan. But I am doing what I can and have moved significantly in that direction. I understand that the people who give their time so generousl

My horse Rudy has a one inch-summer coat and a five-inch winter one. He is responding to Pergolide and diet changes but the coat stays. It is starting to get hot in Missouri and I would like to get a

Thanks, Kerry. No, my horse is an outdoor pasture horse. What you are telling me suggests that the Andis won't do. I don't need fancy, but I need sturdy and workable. I should have mentioned that I on

Deb, that is most interesting about the small clipper. Thanks! Certainly the cordless feature is a real plus. Cords get in the way when you only have one hand and your horse moves around. At least I k
