Sorry - I did look at the file on this subject but it was a little over my head. Should an IR and PPID horse be fed Acetyl-L Carnitine if the horse's IR Is controlled? Is it a good preventative or sim

That is her exactly. Thank you so much!!

Would her torn Manica flexor have anything to do with the flat palmar angle and broken back HPA axis? Kelly

Thank you so much for looking at these!!! Great news about the radiographs (no evidence of laminitis). I'll need to speak with my very temperamental farrier. If you question him at all, he's likely to

I uploaded a new case history and the radiographs. Micah's Insulin was 18 ulU/Ml (range is 0-42) on 8/28. On April 25th it was 8 Her glucose was 83 mg/dl (range 70-120). The vet failed to take it on A

I agree that it is a good discount. I've had to order from Tractor Supply because Fenugreek is out of stock and that is the only flavor Micah will eat. It is much less from Chewy. Fingers crossed it i

Thanks so much for all the help everyone!

Her eye is very painful and we are trying to do everything we can to keep her from rubbing it. I would be very worried about taking her off the banamine unless there was no choice otherwise. She is re

Micah injured her eye over the weekend and has an ulcer on her cornea. The vet prescribed an "ulcer mix" and banamine. She saw her this morning while I was at work and sent a text saying, "I debrided

I voted as well. I couldn't tell from the website if we would be notified. Anyone know? Just curious.

Thanks fo the response and help!
