It's a beautiful tribute and looks like a beautiful life Tori had with you. The loss is so deep; my condolences.

Thank you so much, Nancy!

Thank you. It's such a catch 22 when exercise is key but once they're sore exercise is out...baby steps I guess.

Hi, Debbie- Your note struck a chord with what I'm experiencing and led me to a question for Dr. Kellon. My sensitive EMS mare has been in great shape for over a year. 2 weeks ago she came up lame (wh

Thank you both! I ordered AAKG and acetyl-l-carnitine thinking about preventing winter laminitis, and then i started to get confused:)

Thanks, Nancy. I seem to recall Dr. Kellon distinguishing between the two for different purposes (maybe I have the names wrong?)

Dr. Kellon, Would you please explain the difference (use and effect) of acetyl L carnitine and L carnitine (alcar?)? thank you,

Thanks. I noticed the Feeding dogs and cats link goes to reading radiographs too.

I get a 404 error with your link. Is there another access?

Hi, Fiona My EMS mare has responded very well to removing all grass, keeping her feet trimmed, regular exercise, and monitoring her starch/sugar intake. It is a learning curve but this group is invalu

My mustang mare had her first laminitis and EMS diagnosis at 3. She's 11 now.

Terri, how much are you giving your horses? I'm going to try it with my arthritic gelding. Thanks!

Thank you, Nancy. It would seem that a 26 score is better but not ideal given the ratios she has. Rats.

Thank you both. I read the article, used the calculator, and then found it a challenge to interpret the results. Do you know the real meaning of G/I ratio- 3.69; RISQI .20; MIRG 9.5?

She gets 1 cup of Haystack low/low hay pellets with supp's in the am but otherwise had only had hay. Her test was at 1:00. The crest is hard but seems shorter than it was a few months ago. Puzzling si

My mare had her first normal insulin test (26). She is in regular exercise, a good weight, diet working, but her crest is still there. She's had it most of her life. Is there more I should do/can do?

Hi, Nancy- I liked your idea so I tried it, but the balls were so crumbly it didn't work. How much oil (and water?) did you add to make these work? Did you make one big batch or each treat separately.

Hi, Jennifer- I have the same problem (with several days of premixed supp's too). I've thrown away a lot since my other two can't eat Story's Thyro L. I've determined that her behavior is cat like. Wh

Thanks! The Stabul1 arrived and she ate it (!)...day 1. It smells a little like maple syrup to me. Considering the alfalfa pellets didn't entice her much, this is a win so far. I wonder if the powder

Thank you, Ronelle. I ordered some Stabul1 fenugreek so I'll see if she will eat that. A straight form of fenugreek may be a good option if she won't eat it. Jimminy!
