Hi Joy, I did the same thing with a spreadsheet which included all the ACTH, glucose & insulin results, glucose/insulin ratio, Pergolide dose and pre-test meal. It was an easy way to compare everythin

Dr. Kellon, I thought that the recommendation was to keep Pergolide capsules in the door of the refrigerator? Why is that the case if bulk Pergolide is kept a room temperature?

Hi Toni, I've used Wedgewood's Gourmeds chewable tablet several times. The tablets made it easy to adjust doses when needing to increase Pergolide to keep up with ACTH results. Stability isn't as long

Nicolle, After looking at your photos it is amazing to see how long you were able to care for Elsa. It is a tribute to your devotion and her tenacity that she made it as long as she did. Here's a poem

LJ, I've worked at the same animal hospital for the past 22 years. We have 10 vets, 2 offices, a large animal facility, perform surgeries and rehabilitation, groom, board and accept referrals from oth

Thank you, Dr. Kellon and Dawn. I've ordered Jet Breathe and will get Cetirizine to try. I increased Jack's flax yesterday to 1 cup twice daily. Hopefully something will provide relief. Fingers crosse

Hi Dr. Kellon, Jack's still having trouble which Clenbuterol isn't helping. He continues to be very wheezy to the point of having a "heaves" line and flared nostrils a few times. This necessitated a s

Hi Dawn, Thank you for sharing your vast experience with Tipperary. Nebulizing is certainly a possibility that I hadn't considered yet and will look into. Our nearly unrelenting hot and humid weather

Hi Sherry, What homeopathics did you try? Was your horse IR as well? It looks like the Breather Powder contains sucrose :( Unfortunately I have a typical gable roof 6 stall barn. I'd worry about leavi

Thank you Dr. Kellon.

I've used the Zoetis Core vaccine multiple times for Mill and Jack without incident. It's called Core because is covers the vaccines a horse needs even if it never steps a hoof off the home property (

Hi Terry, Thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if elecampane and euphrasia are safe for PPID & IR horses? Jack seems to be doing a little better since starting the Clenbuterol. The wheeziness has de

Hi Beth, Thanks for the ideas. Jack's hair coat is normal aside from a few stray long hairs. I'd worry about sunburn if he was clipped. Since my 33 1/3 year old Arabian mare died 2 weeks ago he has so

Yes, he still is sweating.

Jack has been having a really tough time with heaves causing prolonged wheezy respiration and often wide flaring nostrils. The entire month of June has mostly been in the mid to upper 90s with only a

Dr. Kellon, Thank YOU for all your limitless knowledge and generous help! Your example is one to which all other vets should to strive to attain.

Dawn, Your post left me crying as I know the pain and grief you must be feeling as I share the same after Mill's passing just 7 days ago. These incredible once in a lifetime horses leave hoofprints al

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words of comfort. So many of you have been where I am now. The incredible grief felt is the price we pay for sharing our lives with these extraordinary horses.

I didn't expect today to start out the way it did. Mill was dead behind the barn when I went out to feed this morning. She had fallen at some point during the night or early morning, so hard that she

Hi Deb, Were you using the joint formula of Equithrive when you saw an improvement in your horse's eye discharge or another form of Equithrive? I'd be curious to try it for Mill who has the same probl
