One more question as I just noticed the messages about biotin and testing. Does it affect insulin or glucose as Rio has biotin in her customs mineral mix. I hope not or else I just wasted money on bloods by missing this! Ooops!!

Biotin will affect the insulin. It's hard to say how much, but hopefully the results of the bloodwork will still be helpful. Did you read through this message thread and look at the link to the study?

Thanks Kirsten! I thought I had read the message string but clearly missed some of the info as it does state it will interfere with insulin. I also noticed we should stop Biotin supplementation 6 days before labs and had a question regarding this. My biotin is added into my custom mineral mix from madbarn and not something I can take out manually. So to stop the biotin would one just stop giving the minerals totally and then just give those they we give for the emergency diet? Another learning moment for me on how much you need to stay tuned into the posts on ECIR and how things can change when dealing with managing our equine friends.

Heather,
From a purely mechanical standpoint, you should just wait the few weeks for her hoof capsule to be fully grown out to be ultra cautious but all lights are green at this point. Just remember that as long as insulin is elevated there is the potential for laminar weakening so remain vigilant to changes in comfort, especially when you begin work under saddle. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com |

Thanks Dr Kellon for the feedback and I will wait until her hoof capsule is fully grown out for riding here and will continue to exercise her on the ground in the meantime as I have been doing.
Good to hear about the biotin and testing for insulin and glucose as well. Phew as I was a bit worried that I have been getting incorrect results. Thanks again and will keep you posted on the results when I get them back. -- Heather August 5, 2017, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada Riosa https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=8819 Case History

Sorry Heather, I was confused by the message chain and had thought insulin could be affected by biotin to some degree, even though it's not mentioned in the links. I'm glad Dr Kellon corrected that for both of us!

No problem. I was confused too so all good! Thanks for clarifying Dr. Kellon.
