Oroquin-10 shipped finally

ByKim (Ceffyl)

Friday, the vet called me back with an update on Isis’ meds: they should arrive Saturday morning via overnight, morning delivery. Yay! I should have had them on Wednesday, but at least they will be here tomorrow. With any luck, Isis will eat the meds in her food.

My vet also said that we should have the results of Isis’ EPM ELISA titer results today or Monday. The Peptide-ELISA test is different from the regular EPM titer test. The Peptide-ELISA test determines which phenotype of protozoan is active. These test results can provide a hint about which treatment will be most effective against the phenotype(s) found in the current infection.

Very cutting edge stuff. It’s exciting to have this option.

    Isis had her feet done tonight. We’re trying a new experiment — Easy Walkers on the front and aluminum Eventer shoes on the back. She has never had metal shoes on her back feet. It will be interesting to see how her feet respond to the different shoes. Related Images:

    I’m on a mailing list for owners of horses who are insulin resistant and/or have Cushings. These can be very serious conditions for horses if left untreated. These metabolic conditions can not be cured, only managed. Isis has insulin resistance and so far we’ve kept her well managed. We have been lucky. She had two…

    This morning I was in a good mood. I hadn’t heard from the vet clinic — and no news is good news. As soon as I walked into the clinic, the vet said that she was just about to call me. Isis had had a minor colic episode that morning. Not much, but enough to…
