I haven't ruled out pulmonary issues because he has bad skin issues (lice, mange, constant fungus, etc), can't seem to regulate body temperature, and he's skinny. To me that doesn't indicate a lung...

No, a pit bull attacked him at the petting zoo last year. I adopted him because they were tired of the public pointing out the leg issues when the vet cleared him. The vet was asked to put him down...

What's the difference between the two?

Someone on another thread documented that their goat had cushings. I'm really thinking mine has it.

Could he have Cushings Disease??? He had a temp of 108+ on Tuesday when it hit 80 degrees. Vet said something is obviously wrong as he can't regulate his body temp.

I'm going to get him alfalfa...

I'm starting to wonder if my older rescue goat has cushings disease. He's had a number of skin issues, won't gain weight and now an inability to regulate his body temperature. I'm going crazy and...

Vet thinks his immune system isn't right, as he's had bad mange/lice for a few months now despite all the different treatments I've tried. Anything to help him? I don't know much about goats. My vet...

Definitely not over weight. Vet said he's too skinny but I don't know what else to do when he gets unlimited hay. Was warned about grain with weathers.

This goat doesn't have his horns, so maybe that's part of the problem??? He will be body clipped on Monday when my friend is around to help me. Should be interesting! I'm going to try and rig up a...

This goat pants, but what he's doing is abnormal! He did it in front if the vet yesterday and she agreed he's struggling. Joked around that I should install a small air conditioner in the goat house....

I adopted an older goat that has 3 legs and was going to be put down. My vet asked if I would take him so she didn't have to put him down since nothing was wrong with him. Fast forward 9 months until...

Don't even mention Lyme disease...I've battled it 4x with Kiwi already and he was just recently tested about 2-3 months ago. As much as I'd like to forget about that god aweful disease, I will keep...

Insulin/glucose levels totally normal too! They came back this afternoon. We didn't test his ACTH levels because we wanted to see what these test said first. I probably won't test because he's...

Kiwi's CBC/superchemistry and urinalysis came back perfectly normal. :D Kidneys totally fine!!! We're waiting on the insulin/glucose test. Personally, I don't think he's IR or has cushings, but you...

Vet came this afternoon... She is running a Superchemistry/CBC/fibrinogen, insulin/glucose level, and urinalysis. I should have my answer tomorrow morning, $428 later (included a shot of Legend...

Vet is coming today to pull blood and do a urine analysis. We didn't discuss in detail about what blood tests we're pulling today, but she did say "lets start with a CBC/blood chem and urine analysis...

His urine color is crystal clear. He does take in water from his senior, alfalfa cubes and soaked hay.

I have recently received new bedding and have been blaming that but the BO thinks something else is going on. I kinda agree!

My horse does NOT drink even a sip. I only fill his bucket an inch or...

What's that?

My horse vet also does small animals....Thank God! Doesn't hurt to ask or maybe make some recommendations.

Vet is coming Thursday to do all sorts of tests (blood, urine, physical, etc.). Unfortunately, I can't meet her Tuesday or Wednesday due to my crazy work week.

Are those forms of diabetes...

What tests should I have pulled....???

I know a CBC/Blood chem, a cushings test, and an insulin test. Anything else?

I knew I should have created direct deposit into my vet's bank account with...

My horse, 24 yr old OTTB, has NEVER been a water drinker!!! And I mean, will NOT TAKE A SINGLE SIP! So, to prevent impactions, he gets 1/4 pound equine senior with 4 gallons of hot water in his feed...

I'm now buying from Rood & Riddle equine hospital online (rrvp.com)! So far, AWESOME service!!! I ordered my mineral oil from them this morning and a half hour later received an email confirmation...

About 2 months ago I ordered 2 gallons of U-guard liquid from them, they come 2 weeks later :rolleyes:. I go to put it on my horse's feed and it's all chunky. :dead: You can't syringe it, and my...
