Dually's latest blood work
I have updated all my case histories based on the latest bloodwork. Grits and Eeyore are doing fine, but Dually is an enigma. He now tests "Not IR", based on the IR calculator, and he is on pasture 24

Dr. Kellon, i don't put a lot of stock in the accuracy of blood tests for Se after my issues with another horse. He was suffering Se toxicity, yet his blood work kept showing him as low Se. My concern

Dually was really blimping up, so I took him off all pasture on Aug. 1. His top line looks great, no fat pads or cresty neck, just a ginormous belly. After a couple of weeks up on balanced weighed hay

Hoof boot recommendations for Eeyore
Eeyore is now more foot sore than ever. I need to get him some boots to make him more comfortable. I've heard members mention Easy Boot Clouds and Soft Ride boots. Are there any other brands or types
