I have tried to reintroduce Vit E twice now since our right dorsal colitis complications, and both times I feel like I notice an increase in foot soreness... is it a completely unrelated coincidence,

LJ, What do you mean when you say "ask vet to request exact number if >200"... You can do that?!? Why wouldn't they just tell you that in the first place! So if the vet asks Cornell, they can get an e

Hi Dr Kellon, I sent you a private message with my vet’s email so you could send that info, thanks. I didn’t know if it was really “approved” yet for standard use or widely used, so I just figured the

Strawberry’s insulin came back >200 again from her 9/3 bloodwork. Her ACTH was 34 I think, but I don’t have the report yet. She is worse today and has started laying down more. Nothing seems to help.

Strawberry and I went through this in March/April. I'm sorry this is happening for you guys. It is very difficult. Feel free to msg me if you would like, I can share a little more of her situation.

She is pretty sore yet, she hasn't moved much. I wonder if I should try putting the thick black pads back in again instead of the wool felt that is in there... but I think she is done with us messing

I posted Strawberry's front post-trim photos to her album.

Lavinia, I'm sorry, I wasn't able to get the set of pictures tonight. I will get a good set when she is more comfortable/cooperative, and I can get someone to help me. You gave me some good informatio

Thanks, I will see about the photos tonight if she isn't too uncomfortable to pick her feet up. I was experimenting with different pad options since she was getting worse I thought maybe the wedged pa

I just weighed my scoop of flax on my kitchen scale and the 1/2cup scoop is 1.6-1.8oz, so she was getting 3.2-3.6oz per day. (Phew)

I didn't realize the Timothy Balance cubes are fed at a lesser rate. I can adjust down, it just seems like such a small amount of food. She gets about 2 cups of the teff pellets AM & PM to mix her sup

I have updated Strawberry's case history with more details and the lab results I had at this point (still waiting for results of last Friday). She has really gone downhill this past weekend. My vet re

I had blood drawn for ACTH/Insulin/glucose on Friday night but won't get anything back until later in week because of Labor day. I will update her history then with the June results and this current s

I uploaded Strawberry's new front lateral x-rays that were taken today. so disappointing to see. This pony has done nothing but get worse since the day I got her :(

The Ca is listed at .50 and the Mg listed at .52 I was just looking to see how much she was getting and was surprised by the very high number. She is only about 700lbs. I will definitely look into the

The Magnesium is listed as .52% in the typical analysis on the Ontario Dehy Timothy Balance Cube website, and when I convert that to mg/lb (via the conversion tool on Triple Crown's website) it says t

Thanks for the response Lavinia, I have her blood work report now from June 1st 2021, ACTH 25.4, Insulin >200, Glucose 177. This is after eating a complete ration of Triple Crown SR for April & May af

Strawberry has been in Cloud boots the majority of this year. She usually seems to move pretty well with her boots on, but when they are removed she can hardly hobble around now. Is that normal to hav

I came across this old thread and wanted to add something for anyone considering or using teff hay. The cuttings that contain seeds are dangerous because the fine seed stems are actually rough/barbed

I know the analysis will change a bit from one run to the next, but I thought maybe there would be a general recommendation to go with the teff, since there are a couple analysis' in the files already
