Homebred Arab gelding - 22 Cushings and liver issues.

What I found amusing was the fact they were making people concerned as to what nutrition was in traditional food last week(?) and how we couldn't trust what was written on the side of the tin. Now we cannot feed raw in case we poison ourselves because we don't know how to wash our hands. What...

Fingers crossed then.

Any news yet?

Zirrus had a couple of flat, scaly sarcoids - one on his cheek and another on one of his forearms. Our vet suggested blood root ointment which I used in conjunction with sarc-ex. The areas did get inflamed but not seriously so. He never minded us putting the ointment on. Both areas healed...

Mine had similar symptoms although ten years younger. Blood test revealed high liver levels. He tolerated steroids well and has just been retested. His demeanour and weight have improved. He too had loose stools - the vet prescribed codiene for this which was successful. As he is grazed on...

We have had two EBT's and both have had accidents resulting in a broken back leg. They were however older than your girl and resigned to their cage quite quickly. Kongs, particularly frozen ones are good. Perhaps you could move the cage to wherever you are so she isn't alone. I would have...

Because they didn't sign them over?

So why where they signed over. If nothing was wrong why hand them over to the RSPCA? They wouldn't have a hope in hell of taking any of mine just on an inspectors say so.

So sorry that your are facing this. When our elderly bull terrier reached the end of the road we had the vet out to her. The other two dogs were given a treat in the other room but I allowed them out to see her after she had gone. They did only give her a cursory sniff and were more...

Hi OP, My 26yr old mare has always done this. Particularly on the backs of her hind legs. I used to have the vet out each summer but they have never been able to explain it. She has never been bothered by it, has recently been tested for Cushings(negative). I would give your vet a call Just...

This is exactly what I was given when I had my leg reset - it does the trick!

I managed it - whilst having a cup of tea!

Know the feeling! although You should try a dark grey/black and wiry coated one. Sometimes the first my OH is aware of her rolling in unmentionables first thing in the morning (the fresher the better!) is when she jumps into bed with me when I am working lates and still asleep. I assume he has...

My gelding has to have half a Prescend tablet daily, lives out 24/7 in a herd with ad lib hay. The tablet is not palatable and I don't want to take him out of the field to give him an otherwise unnecessary feed. I feed this in a section of carrot with a hole in for the tablet to fit. The...
