IRON Submission Form-click here
A study is being conducted by Dr Kellon on high iron/TIBC/ferritin in DSLD/ESPA horses. So far the findings are showing a majority are high iron some are overloaded. If you have a DSLD/ESPA horse or a symptomatic DSLD/ESPA horse of any breed, please check for Iron levels and help with the study. It is yet to be determined how high iron affects DSLD/ESPA, study is still underway. Thank you.
