Reply to To all members - I need some feedback as soon as you can
I just saw a case of non-healing scratches in a 30 year old who also has DSLD of the front limbs (where the fetlock drops to the ground), top line muscle loss, EOTRH (losing the incisor teeth) and Cushing’s disease. He is being fed grain and no soybean meal.
I also saw another 30 year old this week who had equine sleep disorder (“narcolepsy”)…

Doc-t posted an update 4 years ago
Last night I attended another AAEP Round Table discussion – “Equine Pain Management: Hospital Patient vs Performance Horse.” The 2 speakers were very informed as both were trained anesthesiologists. One works at Colorado State vet school and the other lives in KY and works the show circuit in CA and MI.
What I found most interesting was the…

From experience working in a small animal clinic I see Trazadone being prescribed mainly to dogs with seperation anxiety. Unfortunately it is deemed ineffective by owners. I personally like CBD oil for small animals and advocate for a specific product that I have seen work.

Reply to Adding Coolstance. Oops
The first question I want to ask is why add cool stance? The next question I have is why do you think the protein is the cause of him becoming a rocket? My final question is if he is a rocket, is he feeling good or better than before?
In humans, about 15% of metabolic energy comes from the conversion of protein into glucose (gluconeogenesis in…

I’m listening to a podcast on soft tissue injuries with someone I know being interviewed – Dr Lisa Fortier of Cornell. She and another vet are discussing diagnostics and therapies. They are getting deep into stem cell therapy right now but I’m on a break – to be continued tomorrow.
I can’t help to notice that when when I listen to podcasts of…

UPDATE!
This morning I’m listening to the 2nd half and I was so grateful to Dr Fortier when she and then her colleague brought up obesity, endocriopathies and EMS (equine metabolic syndrome) and their association with increased soft tissue injuries. “Overfed and undernourished” is a primary ingredient in getting soft tissue injuries (tendons… Read more

Doc-t replied to the discussion Mares in season in the forum Horse Care, Barn & Farm Topics 4 years ago
The “grumpy mare syndrome” can be difficult. The first thing to determine is if it is truly an hormonal condition. This can be done by getting 10 days worth of Regumate from your vet and giving it (without spilling any because the dose is measured to the weight of the horse. Spilling = not giving the right dose). If the unwanted signs go away…

Reply to Endocrinology podcast
I am not prepared to open discussions with these authors because I don’t have the time or personnel. At some point I will be able to hire a team of researchers to help me prepare to discuss things with others because I would need to further understand their work. But until I am retired and do this full time I will not on a routine basis reach…

Howdy everyone! I’ve been really busy with floating teeth or setting up my new computer storage device (NAS). Remember I’m also a geek!
The God of fairness shined favorably on me yesterday. I washed both my Tesla key fob and my Apple air pods (as well as laundered money). I had gone to absent minded mode after floating horses in 90 degree…

Doc-t replied to the discussion Alfalfa Hay VS Pellets? in the forum No Grain Challenge 4 years ago
Reply to Alfalfa Hay VS Pellets?
In human nutrition, processing has been associated with increased uptake in carbohydrates due to the faster transit times. While everyone is looking at “roughage,” processing the alfalfa shouldn’t affect the composition of starch and cellulose but it will affect the transit time. This is why in humans eating starch from vegetables has a…

Reply to Talk to me about PSSM
Here’s my question (posed to my vet but she hasn’t answered me yet): if blood levels are “perfectly normal” WITH supplementation, does that mean he definitely needed it? If I cease giving it will his levels drop? Did the negative result in the fecal sample play a role in his comfort? Is it just that he has the freedom to move whenever he…

Reply to Alfalfa Hay VS Pellets?
I personally prefer the hay form because it’s less processed than pellets or cubes but nutritionally I think it’s pretty similar by weight other than the fiber length.
