The FDA has announced a two-day public meeting to discuss parasite resistance to common deworming drugs. The problem was discussed by Horse Journal Contributing Veterinary Editor Dr. Deb Eldredge in…
…in simple sugars or starches, like spring grass, worsen insulin resistance. Corticosteroid drugs have laminitis on their list of side effects, probably because these drugs can cause insulin resistance. However,…
…resistance. Ponies are usually fairly easy to manage if you pay close attention to them. One of the most important things to get right is his feet. There are a…
…State showed oxibendazone resistance developed just as fast when dewormers were rotated as when they were not. Resistance to pyrantel in small strongyles is also increasing. So far, no equine…
…has some level of resistance and that resistance varies greatly by geographic location, as well as by parasite. The only way to know for certain if there is parasitic resistance…
…is now well-established that fat contributes to the development of insulin resistance in other species. A recent study demonstrated that a single intravenous dose of fat can cause insulin resistance…
…keepers”-or, frankly, overweight horses-might be prone to laminitis, as well, and we understand that this propensity is linked to insulin resistance. In 2007, veterinarians from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of…
…improve leptin resistance. Improvements in IR also improve leptin resistance, but the most effective way by far seems to be exercise. More work needs to be done in this area,…
…Those with insulin resistance also need to be on a diet that is low in sugar and starch—and they need to stay trim. “Obesity contributes to insulin resistance, although a…
…resistance in the mare. This helps divert glucose away from the mare’s own tissues to ensure a generous and steady supply for the fetus. For most mares, this isn’t a…
