Hi, I am Loes and new to the list - I have a 12 year old Friesian that I have had since he was 4 and most likely has had Cushings since he was 7 (many symptoms); because of his age he was not diagnose

Thank you Mandy (and of course Asher): While I am new to the list (couldn't get on it before due to my poor computer skills) I have had excellent advise from stables mates (the human kind) and friends

Thanks Sandy - probably another example of California pricing - my previous vet charged about $250 ($200 for the blood plus $50 for the call). Loes

Melanie: ACTH = $148.50 Insulin/glucose = $102.00 TBF =$100.00 Total Blood =$350.50 add $55.00 for vet call so it's $405.50 I usually add other "stuff" to the vet call (have 2 horses and a donkey) You

Kyle: I bought my Friesian at 4, could never make much muscle - no immune system to speak off, cresty at 6, pneumonia & colitis at 7 (hospitalized for 4 weeks) , no one suggested cushings and I didn't

I didn't expect any noticeable changes with the addition of a specific supplement - I believe the overall feed & supplement combination (including ALC) Dr. Kellon suggested for Romke was instrumental

Hi Mandy I bought 1 pallet (40 bags) of the same batch no. 5 weeks ago - not all cubes are bad. I use a claw hammer and when you hit it just right you can make them bite size. You need to wear eye pro

When we were looking to move - an impossibility now in this market- I talked to Aurelio regarding getting them shipped direct. The minimum is 2 pallets which is no problem for me since Romke eats clos

I am the one with the eye problem and I learned that it is an indication that I need to increase the pergolide. The skin around my eyes will turn red, then blister; used to groom him with a plastic fa

Received results from Romke's most recent blood panel. His LDH was 585 with a reference range of 150 - 450. since January of 2008 it has
