Christina, Hey, we are having bloodwork problems also with Cash Pony. He is falling low on some of the same things you mentioned here. I have had 6 top vets...
Jody, was the toxin was found by doing a particular blood screen? There is not much in his pasture - I board him and while it's a fairly large pasture, it is...
Yes, look for the bilirubin to be elevated. By doing a direct/indirect bilirubin test you can see if the elevation is coming from the liver or his blood....
Total Bilirubin is good at 1.3 (range is 2.3 - 3.8). I'll talk to my vet about doing more tests. Also looking into herbal remedy that someone suggested -...
That's good, I think the main thing is, don't just treat something without knowing what is causing it. But, sounds like you trying to figure it out. Jody ...
Christina, One thing to keep in mind.....endurance horses need to be bloodtested for those values you listed when they are WORKING. An endurance horses ...

I emailed another vet with a copy of my horses' test results (BTW - she has been a ride vet a couple of times - not sure if that matters?). The vet wrote back...
Christina- Horses are much different than humans regarding hemoglobin and hematocrit scores. Check the efficacy of these red blood builders and I expect you...
Christina, I beg your pardon, and this vet's, but toxic plants DO cause anemia. Please see attachment from the Merck Manual: I couldn't put the link in, so I...
I'm getting private emails with a WIDE range of opinions - thank you, but now I'm even more confused!!! In the meantime, someone had asked for more CBC...
I agree with Dr. Kellon's comments, I don't find your results to be anything worrisome or unusual, and I would certainly not call this horse anemic. Long...

Hi Chris. Thank you for your overview, and for coming to the convention and posing provocative questions. In an article in the latest Endurance News (Risk...

I'm not sure which rides you go to in the west, but the majority of rides I go to have enough vets there to cover any problems. We don't necessary designate a...
