Well, his muscle enzymes are already high and his monocyte count is on the
high side. I'm afraid to stop the grain for fear this stall running is going
to eat him alive. We tried a goat and he ran over the goat. We can tie him to
the hayrack and he'll stand still then, but you can't do that 24 hours a day.

Is there a treatment for hyperthyroid?

If not, I was thinking about trying something like gamma oryzanol.
