Laura actually taught *ME* about foxtail. I wasn't sure either, but it's bad. I used to be on the lookout for clover or alfalfa, but foxtail was new to me as well. Scotty can't *eat* hay...but if your

Scotty got a new, probably a more extensive, trim today. My farrier read Dr. Kellon's notes, and we discussed where to go from *here.* He told me what he thought, and he still wants to be not real agg

I hope you can get some people to help you out. I live near the dealer and am thankful top be able to drive over and get what I need. My horse's favorite is Fenugreek if that helps.

Unfortunately here I am again...farrier didn't come...and waiting. I trust him to do Scotty alone if I am not here, but there was a lot I wanted to talk to him about before the next trim....sigh :(

Natalie - Scotty has worn some kind of boot 24/7 (except for brief trials of various glue ons) since September of 2017. He seems to prefer the Clouds with the Soft Ride inserts vs. the ones that come

Thank you Dr. Kellon. I want to make sure I understand your comment, "the center of breakover on the LF is shifted too far medially." I think you are saying his hoof on the LF is not centered...more s

Scotty is 35-40. I sold his saddle. Sold his bridle. Sold his pad, cinch, bit, etc. Maybe I shouldn't have? But I figured IF he recovered from all he has been through, he deserves to just rest and be

Just bumping this up, so I could have some input before farrier comes tomorrow. Thank you.

I am hoping Lavinia or someone can comment/make suggestions. Farrier was out on Monday and plans to stop tomorrow. We are kind of not seeing the changes we are looking for on his front feet from the r

We are skipping fall vaccines per Dr. Kellon's recommendation, and will test his ACTH, insulin & glucose in January or February as that is when all of them should be low. I pointed out to my vet that

Following this topic, because it was a question on my mind as well. If what I understand is true, you can't overdose Pergolide (compounded) and I am seeing a good response, so not to be worried to jus

Thanks for the input everyone.

Following this with great interest as Scotty is fed in the big troughs from Farm and Fleet and he also tosses a LOT out. I am looking to hook up a heated muck tub on a timer for the first time ever th

No expert here at all!!! I bow down to the people who can better inform you. But I can share my experience. I have Scotty body clipped in the spring/shedding season. This year, for the first time, I h

Thanks Laura. I do 12 cups or so at a time. Been doing it forever, outside, with a bucket with holes inside another bucket. and have tried it both full force (to see if it matters) or shower and it do

Thank you for posting the link Nancy. I plan to watch all of the films as soon as I can find the time.

Amazing Maria. You are a very special person to take on the needs of a horse that isn't even yours. That horse definitely has an angel watching out for him - you! Would the owner consider selling you

Thank you Dr. Kellon. I have forwarded your thoughts on to my vet. Scotty lives alone at my home, so not in contact with other horses. We do have the Clydesdale farm/breeding across the street and I b

So, after reading through many people’s posts, I realize that I am blessed to have a vet that agrees with and wants to cooperate with Dr. Kellon’s protocols. She has asked me to ask Dr. Kellon before
