Thank you, Dr. Kellon, I didn't realize that when people say 'seasonal' that it meant anything other than seasonal.

hi y'all, Vet was out this morning to draw blood for Babe's first recheck- he's been on a half tab of Prascend for several weeks now. I told her about the AFP and I think she took a picture of the bot

I am so sorry for your loss.

thanks,Kirsten, I'm a little confused- if he wasn't fasted, who knows how high it would have been at baseline? He was fasted, so I understand that it should have been a bit lower in that case- do you

Thank you, Kirsten, I did not know that his insulin was considered high due to him being fasting at test time. I will go add that note!

good morning, y'all, I have a question and I hope it makes as much sense as it seemed to in the middle of the night. Babe's diagnosis of PPID is mild, and vet and I are both hoping it's seasonal, but

Hi Lida, I have no advice, just a word of welcome. Your story resonates with mine, and I am only a few weeks further into this journey than you are with my 15YO OTTB. We had no clues except for horrib

Thanks, everyone, for your replies! Ferne, it may have been a sales pitch, but still explained the mechanism of pergolide pretty well for me. I received the APF yesterday and we started Babe on the pe

Thank you, Maxine, I'll go find the video and I have read some of the website, but not nearly all. I have really struggled to wrap my head around even the remote possibility that what they say is so i

thank you again, Trisha :) I love to read- haven't had the opportunity to dive in like I'd like to (long story and not relevant to PPID) but hope to get to soon. I suspect, though, that I'll have to a

Thank you, Trisha :) there's so much to read about what we're dealing with! I have one more question (well, for now) When I spoke with the vet and asked her if high pain level could increase his corti

I went this morning to pay on my vet bill and reminded the clerk that I hadn't heard from the vet(s) about my questions. Within an hour, the senior vet called me and she did answer my questions, excep

Thanks, Martha, and boy, I can relate! lol Babe was ouchy enough still when we started the pergolide that I didn't notice his demeanor changing right away, whereas if he hadn't been, I'd have definite

Thank you, Martha, I assume you meant the APF? i keep a log and have for years, of events in their lives, so I can certainly remember to do that. Today he’s been his normal self, save for tender feet.

Thank you, Martha :) I maybe should have done more reading before I asked more questions, but I'm sort of glad I did ask anyway, because you broke it down for me even further, which I appreciate. We l

I found APF and APF Pro- which do I want and is this only for use for the first couple of weeks or month, or all the time?

I cannot recall the timeline for Hot Hoof and blood draw for ACTH- he may have been on it and may not have been (I thnk he was), but I think maybe I'm glad I took him off of it, reading Dr. Kellon's c

Thank you, ladies! I do not know what APF is. The vet had me start Babe on a half tab of pergolide (.o5 mg) daily. I have not given it for 2 days because I've been worried about his behavior and waiti

Good morning, I have written up a handful of questions and took them to the vet's clinic on Monday. I have not heard anything back, yet. I'd like y'all's input, too, please. Babe's ACTH was 45 and he

thanks, ma'am, the hay is brome that's grown locally, yes. Babe is a rich shade of bay, no sunbleaching to speak of since we moved to the mountains, his coloring has already started to change to winte
