Equine Metabolic Syndrome - Clare McKinstry, MRCVS Here is a scenario many horse or pony owners may find familiar. I was presented with a pony cal ed “Alfie”. he is a much loved, 8 year old, Shetland pony gelding who has a previous history of mild to moderate episodes of laminitis. His companion “Snowy”, is also an 8 year old Shetland pony gelding but has had no previous episodes
Excerpt taken from Depression Thirty-year old Kate had been feeling increasingly depressed. She had consulted a psychiatrist who told her (in an echo of my own case) she had a “chemical imbalance.” She was prescribed Zoloft and when small doses didn’t help her mood, she was increased to maximum dose. This high dose upset Kate, who mentioned she felt uncomfortable taking medication
