20yr old IDxTB, no previous illness or allergic history. Always been a good doer. Struggled to keep weight off in past.
Has been seen by vet and vet coming again on Wednesday. Teeth been done by Vet whomis also a qualified dentist. All fine.
May/June noticed weight dropping off. There was no grass. Put it down to that. Worm counts all v low. Started with haylage in field all through summer.
Beg of Aug vet came to do teeth. I explained weight loss (or lack of gain). Did cushings test. 27.3, so ruled out.
End of August worm count moderate so did equest. Equisal then came back mod/high so did equitape and put weight loss down to tapeworm prob. Also upped feed and included micronised linseed.
Reaction to equest - itchy hives all over her tummy and poll.
Nov. Normal worm count low, tapeworm came back 3 times higher so have done double dose pyratape on Friday. Yesterday sweated up and very very itchy.
She’s suddenly gone old looking if that makes sense. Hair on her face looks cushings-esque.
Vet on wednesday and I’m going to ask for full blood screen.
Anyone else gone through similar?
