Hi all.
First of, he is on prasend, 1 and 1/2 tablets a day and retest in a month.
He was very lathargic and just flat on the ground but very spooky and sharpe under saddle which wasnt like him so we had a full blood work up done in april along with a cushings test as he was turning 15 this year. The ACTH test was boarderline so we did the TRH stim test. Results supposed to be under 200 his was 1,100 odd
one tablet and retested after 5 weeks which was last week and down to 750. So now added another half tablet and retest in a month.
I dont really do supplements as he is a tuff one to get to eat food in the summer and picky in winter. He eats in winter one feed a day of thunder brooks (yes i know but its one of the only chaffs he will eat and he has gone off the over one) and 10,000 IU of vit e and salt.
I wondered if anyone has had any success in any supportive supplements, like the cush care etc. Or herbal additions.
He is going to be started on Oily Herbs the main three recommended on here when they arrive. Hopefully he will eat them.
Someone has also recommened the L94 as a one off course from Trinity Consultants.
He is still a bit flat, wanting to come into his stable when normally he is living out as he hates being in during summer.
Weight wise he needs a bit off, coming back into work after time off for sarciod treatment and then nasty fly bite.
He has thrown a decent spling so onl walk working at the moment, once we can do more the weight will come off.
Sorry for the essay, been about 10 years since we had a cushings horse and I am nit sure if anything has changed.
