Hi Diana,

Is there a reason you haven't tried diet modification before going to Metformin and Invokana?  As you probably know we do not recommend free feeding hay, Outlast nor TC ration balancer.  

Thanks,

Hi Diana,

You need to update your case history so we can see what's going on currently. I can't say how much effect the  Outlast and TC30 could be having but both are above the safe ceiling for sugar and starch.  I would switch to a safe carrier with aloe vera juice and a vitamin/mineral supplement (not balancer) appropriate for your hay analysis.

Hi, 

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Invokana so we can start.  All the recommended baseline bloodwork/urine has been pulled, etc.  I wanted to confirm the following feed is still OK: 

He gets one one-cup scoop of Purina Outlast (am and pm) and 1/2 cup scoop of TC 30% (am and pm).  Hay is orchard grass mix <10% and that is generally free choice though it is also weighed.  Dry lot (obviously).  

He is PPID (controlled with Prascend) and IR (hoping to get control with Invokana).  

Thoughts?  Alterations?  

Thanks, 

Diana
