While the CA copper complete better balances my hay (I have had to average tests due to frequency of deliveries where I board), my guy won't eat it even with safe flavor additives. CA trace plus pelle

Thank you for your responses. Shedding, yes. But I don't think it was enough for that big of a disparity. I also taped him every 2 weeks. Nobody at my barn had a tape, so I tried to order a different

Wondering which weight to go with. Lost the weight tape I had been using. My guy had been consistently taping at 935 lbs. With the new one he tapes at 793 lbs. He did not lose that kind of weight betw

Thanks, Martha!

Is there a recommended time of year for the double dose, wait 2 weeks, repeat of Strongid?

Hello. I am wondering if Metformin is potentially causing ulcers (not questioning oral, I know it can do that). My guy is stoic, but since being on Metformin I have noticed him sjowing some signs that

I do not think it is in the ECIR friendly page of their site. Horse is uncompensated with insulin in reference range. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, Francine. Best to Magic!

Thanks, Pat. That is my sticking point, knowing if the Metformin is really helping. I started soaking his hay and added Metformin at the same time. His insulin decreased. But was it one or both of tho

Not rinsing because that was agitating him further. He is sick of being treated well...like he is sick. I literally syringe and immediately give him soaked, wet, free hay to get things moving in his m

For users if Metformin, have you noticed it causes your horse to go off meals/supplements? First time around it was fed in cubes/supplements. He stopped eating within a month regardless of how I tried

Thanks, sherry and Candice. Hope we can reap the benefits of exercise soon. I hate to be stuck on the subclinical PPID, but I question how he had made such progress from the initial founder and then h

Thank you! I will look into the liquid formulation. That would be easier.

I am working on a sustainable process for dosing Metformin, so I do not have to make the commute twice per day. I grind a week's worth and store in individual bags for AM and PM. Done. I mix the powde

Nope. Not lame. Feet look amazing. Trims every few weeks. Just done again with x-rays on Fri. As far as keeping it to a walk, that is fine until he decides he must move NOW. He has not been turned out

Hi, all. I am struggling with how I can get my horse's insulin low enough to get him to measure compensated IR. Soaked hay (though usually tests low s/s), Metformin, balanced diet, no grass since June

Hi, Pat. Do you put dry or soaked hay in the ball? I have to soak my hay, but I want to try the hay ball.

Thank you, Dr. Kellon. IV dmso at this stage?

Hello. This morning I walked in to see my guy shifting his weight on fronts. All feet are hot, and it is also unseasonably warm in NJ. I just got bloods back earlier this week. Have not updated histor

Thanks, Kristen. I will test blood again. I have not had leptin done on rechecks. Is that necessary? Good to know on the thyo-l. Hard on the hay. I have tried many configurations and uses of hay nets.
