Isn't it correct that the ACTH levels rise at this time of year due to the shortening days? My 16.2 warmblood is currently on 5mg Pergolide and his last blood test (5 weeks ago) showed that his ACTH levels had shot up to 90 (from 40 something). His clinical signs are good but he is being...

Hi Nativepony My horse has cushings and had a terrible bout of laminitis earlier this year. He was stabled for 5 months in all. He now has special padded shoes on and can go out for a couple of hours a day. The vet is still coming out each month to test his ACTH levels. We have been...

Any help from people who have experience of this subject would be very greatly appreciated. My 20 yr old 16.2 warmblood was diagnosed with cushings in January when he developed an acute bout of laminitis. We have gone down the normal laminitis lock down route - box rest, deep shavings bed...

I'm so sorry to hear your awful news Patches. I know what a dreadful void he will leave in your lives. But he looks so happy and contented in the pictures - you gave him a long, joyful and loving life with respect and dignity at the end. Try to take comfort in that as the pain eases. I'm...

Adorable. But I was hoping for more than 3 piccies of the delicious Polly!

Blimey, that's quite a social diary he's got there! He looks very happy and very handsome. I love watching dogs swim. My present dog hates anything wet.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have had to say goodbye to her. I was only enjoying the pictures in your previous post yesterday. She looked a fabulous dog and a great character. She had a wonderful life doing what she loved, with people she loved. Not much compensation now but stay strong -...

Oh he's stunning. Makes my heart melt. Love his beard and all that whispy hair.........

I've always had rescue dogs but tbh try to close my mind to the scenario you are describing. At the moment I can only have one dog. The chap I've got at the moment came from the Welsh pounds and was just days from being PTS. He loves humans and is so friendly he would have kissed the hand...

Cute doesn't do him justice - he is absolutely stunning!! Look forward to reading about his progress and seeing more piccies.

I love seeing piccies of what Poppy is up to. Mind you - that is one very handsome cat....

I'm so so sorry. I know you loved him dearly and did everything you could for him. You have made a very brave decision and you must have no doubts about that. Big hugs to you at this awful time. x

Oh my God - they are both fantastic!! Please can I move in with you

I'm so so sorry - you must feel absolutely gutted at the moment. I've been where you are now, twice in fact. The second time was a wind problem which finished his eventing career. It feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you - so many plans and aspirations. It always seems to...

He looks really fab - very happy. Any ideas why he was rehomed? Sometimes dogs just end up unlucky or sometimes what one person considers anti-social behaviour another can live with. I've had a couple of rescue dogs who have had obvious quirks but the last two - well I just cannot imagine why...
