Hi, Reta. Your Whistler is an enigma. Yes, there could be a link between uncontrolled PPID and Whistler's increased hay consumption required to maintain condition. His coat is shiny and beautiful, I a

Hi, Barbara. I'm so sorry you and your mare are going through this. ECIR volunteers and moderators will respond as soon as they see your post. The crew is from all over the globe, so try to breathe wh

Hi, Kim. If you don't balance your hay and instead use a generic balancer, you would supplement the lesser amount of Vitamin C, 1000 mg/day. If your horse's diet is balanced by a trained balancer or i

Hi, Reta. My gut reaction --with no more basis than "if it walks like a duck..."-- is to return to this comment by Dr Kellon: "I know his ACTH is testing well within normal but the distribution of mus

Dr Kellon, what would we be looking for to see that effect? Pre- and Post- TRH values fairly close?

Pat, that's a lovely tribute to Savannah. I'm so sorry.

Nancy, it may take Dr Kellon a while to catch up from an internet outage. She can advise which of the ingredients in Glycemic EQ you can or should make up. Did you consult Dr Kellon or one of the trai

I can't comment on the Uckele product because I haven't used it. I can say that my horses really like J-herb. I have never had a refusal, even from Diamond who is intermittently very picky. It's only
