Getting the Correct Diagnosis

Providing a step-by-step overview of this import first consideration, the

12-minute film features ECIR Group Veterinary Advisor, Eleanor M. Kellon,

VMD, and President Jaini Clougher, BSc., BVSc., who review the background,

evidence, and protocol recommendations for diagnosing equine metabolic

issues.

 

"A focus of the ECIR Group is to help caregivers begin to make changes that

will most immediately benefit the equine. It begins with accurate

diagnosis." wrote Eleanor M. Kellon, VMD., in a recent discussion. "You

cannot treat properly without knowing the correct diagnosis."

 

ECIR Group members appearing in the film also review their personal

experiences in achieving diagnosis success for their equines. 

 

Getting the Correct Diagnosis is the second in an ongoing series showcasing

the ECIR Group's protocol of Diagnosis, Diet, Trim, and Exercise (DDT+E).

The film was made possible by generous contributions from A Friend of the

ECIR Group, Auburn Laboratories Inc., California Trace, Forageplus, Mad

Barn, Soft-Ride Inc., and Uckele Health and Nutrition Inc.
