OMG -- this sure hit home, being my Rocky also has I.R. AND Cushings. And he also had a terrible founder bout 3 years ago. And he's in his mid twenties. . . (youngest he could be is 22). I am just knocking wood at this point, that his Pergoglide keeps doing it's job. So far, keeping weight on him has not been an issue, although I've been noticing he is not the air fern he used to be -- a good thing now, maybe not so much later on. Sigh. But you know, with horses like these, every day is a gift and I'll take them as they come. I do push the envelope and let him have some carrots and even a few rolled oats every day. I am trying to find balance in managing his condition versus his mental health.
