Hi, I am in the UK, I have a 31 year old cushings pony, he is very lively and
has lived out last 2 years even in summer had no laminitis, he was on 250
micrograms of pergolide, in March we ran his blood and the results where ACTH
103.0 pg/ml his insulin 39.6 mIU/L,I think the seasonal level is 29, we upped
his dose to 500 micrograms, half a tablet Prascend, like I
said he is really well in himself, but he his losing weight, I feed him
Equibeet, Dengie HI-FI lite and I have started adding micronised linseed, I also
add Magnesium, cinamon, and a little angus cactus, yesterday he had two teeth
pulled out they where loose, he cannot chew hay now but seems better on grass
what weights and any suggested feeds would be welcomed,he will probably have to
survive on his bucket feeds now,he does manage these well,chews it drops it then
finally manages to eat it, he is a 11.2hh welsh
pony thankyou Paula
