Still waiting for the blood tests for the ACTH, etc. from Cornell. Also had testing done for iron overload at KSU again. This post is part of my previous post with everything happening to Sadie again.

Hi. I am a mess, dealing with so many things with Sadie again. Long story short, she came up walking slow and depressed Oct 14th. We had been tapering off her high-dose Thyro-L and that day was the da

Oh thank you Dr. Kellon. I sprinkle the herbs to encourage Chip and Sadie to finish their supplements. Otherwise, they tend not to clean it up. I did try a peppermint infused tea at one point and spra

Dr. Kellon, even though the amount of iron in spirulina is not much, because I have iron overloaded minis, I guess my thinking is that even a little in a lot of different herbs may end up affecting th

Yes, all I can say is that Sadie's high selenium levels (not toxic but just very high), started to come down to a reasonable level when I switched to the milk thistle extract powder that you suggested

okay, thank you for the information.

Okay, thanks so much.

I have been following Dr. Kellon's advice to me on how to wean Sadie off the Thyro-L. She has been on a high dosage for many many years. We are finally down to .25 tsp per day and have been tapering d

Per Dr. Kellon's suggestion to be awhile back, I am considering perhaps casting Sadie's front feet with the coming rains. She gets a lot of packed mud in her front feet with the new rains and I am con

Sadie has been sound since we found that slow-brewing abscess in May and she has been doing well without any type of booting. However, with the start of heavy rains, I've noticed that her feet get rea

Okay, thanks Dr. Kellon. The consensus of others who see Sadie regularly is that she is looking really good right now and they are happy with the weight gain she is making. So am I. Thank you for help

Hi Bonnie...yes, the reason I have been using the Mountain Sunrise Timothy Pellets is because I have been testing thru Equi-Analytical various bagged pellets and Mountain Sunrise seems to test pretty

When you get a chance Dr. Kellon, could you please reply to my questions after your last reply? Thanks so much.

I would really appreciate any help on my questions below please. Dr. Kellon? Am posting again. I am rereading Dr. Kelon's article titled "Iron Overload in Horses" and she states, "The ratio of Iron:co
