Hi Carol, I know you'll get some outstanding advise soon from the experts here. As the owner of a Kiger who foundered last winter, I can say you will get through this with the help that's available he

Has anyone had success getting insulin down and fat when the horse is unable to be exercised ? Feeling really discouraged. Hi Carol, Yes, I had success this last winter with my Kiger getting her weigh

My mare had a similar episode this summer. It was triggered by a nylon-bristled broom. She became wild-eyed, snorted repeatedly, and pranced nervously around the stall, and bolted out the door. She ap

Hi Dr. Kellon, I finally got the results on Blessing's iron test through KSU. If I did the calculation correctly, her transferrin saturation is 57%. Obviously, this is not good. What can I do about it

This is embarrassing, but I don't have a garbage can icon next to the old CH file that I want to delete. How do I delete the old CH file again?

Thanks, Bonnie!

Oh, Lavinia! Thank you! I was going to follow Bonnie's instructions. I just got busy today. Thank you so much!

Can 40 g of spirulina day cause iron overload? Someone just told me it could and I couldn't find a discussion of that in the files. Thanks for any info.

Thanks to this group, I have a healthy horse again. Just started a monthly donation in appreciation. Happy New Year to all!

Can anyone tell me if an increase in c. Pergolide could help reduce excessive urination? I don't have winter blood draw numbers, but because of changes I'm seeing following seasonal rise I'm wondering

If anyone is aware of a file document that explains how often to feed an IR/Cushing's horse, I'd appreciate knowing where to find it. I did a quick search but found nothing. Thank you.

I'm actually asking because of something I understood Dr. Kellon to write recently about the impact of more than 12 hrs between feedings. If I understood correctly, she said that with that time lapse,

Maria, how do you deal with overnight feeding? If the last feeding occurs at 9 pm or even 10 pm, you need to feed again by 4 am. I'm trying to get 8 hours sleep myself. Do you know if wild horses eat

No, Lorna, I hadn't. You're right! That will make a difference. She takes a couple of hours to eat her last and first feedings. One other question: I feed 4.5 lbs at first and last, and 2.5 lbs at the

Wow, Courteney! This is something I've been trying to figure out how to do for years! I just hadn't solved the timer/release detail. Thanks for your method. I have several people who can probably help

Does anyone know if I'll need to ramp up Blessing's dose when the prescription finally arrives? 1. Current dose is 2.75 mg c. pergolide once a day (so I could cut the powder in half but beyond that, I
