Thank you! I'm so glad you caught yours early and they were okay. It's scary being completely helpless knowing it can be a life or earth situation. ❤ Still hoping for the best and that both of the yo-yos we have left will be okay. They are both behaving normal so hoping that's a good sign.

Thank you. I hope levels come back down too. She is acting completely normal still so I'm hoping it was just delayed for some reason. Hoping to get levels re-drawn at the end of the month.

Not a ton during feeding, mainly just a few quick scratches as I threw hay. My 3yr old filly loves scratches no matter what and tries to sit in my lap while eating sometimes 🤣 if I stop petting her she makes it well known she didn't appreciate the petting/scratches stopping...we are working on...

It is a lot, for sure. We are down to just 2 minis now though 😭. We lost one back in November and then lost Bella back in May. I want to get more again, but won't til I know what is causing all this and/or know that it's fixed and won't happen again. I'm glad it's only the 2 I'm having having to...

I have seen that study. It was interesting to read! I felt like I've become even more of a nerd with all the research I'm doing, lol. I've thought about putting them on the CoQ10 but haven't. I may go grab some vit E just as a just in case it's partly epm as that is a supplement that helps with...

Yes, sorry I've been MIA. It's been a busy roller coaster around here. Thank you for the reminder to get on here for an update. My one mare is getting worse numbers wise. We did a re-check this last week and her GGT level was almost 2,600 when it should be under 24 (with no added zeros behind...

No, they are due for them this summer and we had planned to get them done when we do teeth. Our vet wants to wait now for their teeth and yearly vaccines til liver problems are resolved or at least mostly better so we don't tax them too much. They did get wormed in April with ivermectin though.

Thanks for that. Sorry your pony has liver problems too. It seems to be more common than I thought it would be. I just read about the newer parvo virus for horses and it looks like it could be added to the options of what's going on. Our vet didn't mention anything about it but I will bring it...

I'm learning so much reading studies. It fascinates me. I'm thankful people have put time into it. There are so many possibilities as tote cause, what pushed them over the edge, and what can fix it. So far she is doing okay with no neurological symptoms, but she isn't eating and drinking as well...

Thank you. Water filters are a great idea. Once we get our water test results back we plan to get a filter put in at the well to make sure animals get filtered water too.

It could be so many things. We have toxic plants and it's possible even with constant hay that they got into it. We also have people walk down the road and feed them who knows what...and one tried to put a young child maybe 4-6yrs old in the field over the fence once *eye roll*. They all get...

Thank you. Yes, it is very maddening. I want to just wave a magic wand and fix it all :( I'm trying to keep small, frequent meals in front of her so she can eat most of the day but not quite all day to give her liver a break. Her LIP was 0 for the first draw and 1 for the second, so it's...

Yeah, I'm definitely losing my mind. I don't think hyperlipemia is the primary issue because her LIP was 0 the first time. However the second time she was at 1 and I'm trying to keep hay in front of her in small, frequent meals while she's penned up. It may be becoming an issue though. Yeah...

Oh no! I'm so sorry you have had to go through this too. It's so hard. I don't think it's going to be reversible. If it is ingested toxins the prognosis is usually poor and if the liver is just too far gone, then nothing will fix it. I'm still trying to be optimistic that we can still save her...

Thank you :( We do have chickens next to them, but their feed is not where they can get it. There are also rats that come and go into the chicken pen. We keep killing them, but more show up. They are never ending and the pen is too big to fence under. Might hire some terriers. Racoons are here...

First off, I'll say we have been working with our vet and he is stumped. He's been in practice over 50 years and specializes in horses. He said he's never seen a horse be like this before and that they've always improved, not gotten 2x worse in such a short time. Sorry this will probably be...

We might be interested, if they are still available! We are down in Clackamas County though. How old and tall are they? Any laminitis or founder history?

Welcome!! I'm in NW Oregon :) Minis are tons of fun and there is a wealth of information here on this site. Lots of great people here!

Just posted an update in the original post. Purina recommended taking it back to the store since it was made a little over a year ago. The date code is on the bottom seam strip. 🙂 The formulation also changed when the packaging changed as they added their outlast product to it.

Update: I just talked to Purina and they said it was made Jan 2022 and to take it back to the store. The date code is on the bottom seam strip and the first two numbers are the year and next 3 are the day of the year (Julian calendar). Our code was 22013. She said let her know if there are any...
