I did sign up for the incredible Yahoo Equine Cushings/IR group and I've been to safergrass.org and Dr. Kellon's website. So, I'm learning and beginning the process of figuring how to manage Siete's diet and feet. For the moment, I'm going to follow my vets' advice since I have trust and good relationships with this equine practice. I can't expect this to be solved overnight, but it will get solved. Yesterday was just a tough day.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-66255251619204312272008-11-14T08:40:00.000-05:002008-11-14T08:40:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry to hear of the ongoing problems.

I also know you are frustrated and not getting the information that would settle your bright, curious, concerned mind. I hope you will keep asking questions. There is certainly an aspect of experimentation involved with any healing -- human medicine is as much an art as a science, and certainly the same can be said about animal medicine. Wishing you the very best!! My life is good and uncomplicated in comparison [knock on wood]! If you join the equinecushings yahoo list (another reader mentioned this list before), you can read through their Files section even if you never read the active exchanges<BR/>. Dr. Kellon DVM is active on that list which addresses insulin resistance issues as well as cushings. Also, this should link you to the laminitis pages on safergrass.org: http://www.safergrass.org/articles/laminitissigns.html<BR/><BR/>If you want more websites of professionals who have been researching and treating laminitis without shoes, let me know.Lasell Jaretzki Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134811219333881818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-12092574584568503382008-11-14T08:08:00.000-05:002008-11-14T08:08:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry things are so rough right now. :/It s...I'm so sorry things are so rough right now. :/<BR/><BR/>It started raining here yesterday and now today it's raining more, with forecasts for heavy rain into the night.

I wish I had some advice, but I have never experienced anything like that, nor have any of the horse people I know here in my area. What I can offer is understanding, prayers for Siete, and prayers for strength for you.
