Dr Kellon / dosage advice please?

Doctor K,
The last week Desi has had a snotty nose, it hasn’t been a lot and since there no other symptoms I was hoping maybe it was because of the sudden cold we have had and it would clear up.
today I noticed she has a hard crest again and seems to be really touchy there and in her flank area. Just as I boasted about her being maintained on half dose of Prascend!
i was hoping to hold off on testing until the first of the year, she doesn’t appear to be footsore (knock on wood). Do you think it would be ok to up her dose another quarter of a pill? I don’t want this to escalate. I stopped rinsing her hay because she was doing so much better.
still gets r/s/r BP and her supplements. She is booted and front legs kept warm, has a nice beautiful heavy coat.

Hi Bobbie,

How long from when you stopped rinsing her hay until you noticed the crest? I would think that may be related to the hay no longer being rinsed so that would be the first thing I would do before I changed her dose of Prascend.

Stopped rinsing her hay shortly after starting the meds, slowly. At least since August.

Hi Bobbie,

If that's this hay: https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Bobbie%20and%20Desi/Hay/EQ119635.pdf I would think it still needs to be rinsed since it's over 10% ESC + starch.
