The intolernance to sugar may actually be insulin resistance.  A good group to join, or at least monitor, is the equine cushings yahoogroup.  There she will be able to learn exactly what to feed, supplement, etc.

Does anyone know how much is too much magnesium?  A friend whose horse (7 yrs.) had problems with rain rot and founder found out that her horse does not have Cushings, but is has problems with intolerance to sugar.  The vet gave her a magnesium/chromium supplement, but how much is too much? Now that her horse is doing good she is supposed to go back to regular supplements but she wants to make sure she is giving enough but not too much.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
