Shadow’s were CK over 120,000, AST
4635, LDH 8018, and she was walking huge strided fluid walk two days later, not
trotting yet though and her muscles were still not jiggly on the top of her
rump. 20 days later her levels were still high, CK 2561, AST
1472 and LDH 468. Finally, after another month she tested normal and began
conditioning again. She had already been getting ridden at a walk, 3-4 times
weekly by then.
Did you get the selenium level checked yet?

I just received the lab results for Lyric’s episode
on Wednesday. They are amazingly high. And today she is acting
completely normal, sassy self. Hard to believe, but true. So,
here they are, I just about fainted when I saw them. CK 12,708
(norm 120-470), AST 942 (norm 175-340). Her BUN and creatine (?spelling)
both indicators of kidney function, are with in normal limits as are
her e-lytes and protein levels. I am scheduling the muscle biopsy ASAP.
Thank you, everyone for all the stories, suggestions and
replies. They are 99.9% positive. Yes, horses with this disease
can do endurance! More to follow,
