Baseline Testing With Your Vet
🩺 Baseline Testing with Your Vet
Track. Measure. Support.
Before beginning the 90-day EPMSD™ protocol, it’s smart to work with your veterinarian to establish a baseline of your horse’s health. This gives you a clear picture of how your horse is functioning before detox begins and helps your vet personalize care during the journey.
Remember—detox is not just about removing burdens. It’s about supporting the body systems that naturally eliminate, repair, and defend.
🔬 Recommended Baseline Tests & General Cost Estimates
| Test | Purpose | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| CBC (Complete Blood Count) | Shows immune activity, red cell health, infection/inflammation signs | $40–$70 |
| Serum Chemistry Panel | Checks liver, kidney, glucose, protein, electrolyte status | $60–$100 |
| Vitamin E & Selenium Panel | Measures antioxidant levels crucial for nerve and muscle function | $90–$150 |
| Fibrinogen or Serum Amyloid A (SAA) | Identifies hidden inflammation or stress | $30–$60 |
| ACTH Panel (if metabolic signs present) | Assesses pituitary function (older or cresty-necked horses) | $60–$110 |
| Neurological Reflex Evaluation | Balance, awareness, tone (field or clinic-based) | $35–$75 |
| Baseline Photos + Weight Tape | Track topline, symmetry, gait, and posture | Free |
💡 Bundle pricing may apply. Some vets offer wellness packages that include CBC + Chem + physical for ~$150–$250.
🧠 Why These Tests Matter
- ✅ Spot stress on the liver, kidneys, or blood early
- ✅ Measure nervous system changes objectively
- ✅ Track detox response and adjust the plan if needed
📝 Sample Script You Can Use with Your Vet
“I’m starting my horse on a 90-day wellness supplement called EPMSD™ to support detox and immune function. I’d like to run a CBC, chemistry panel, and basic neuro exam before we begin, so I have a baseline to track progress. Can we add Vitamin E and Selenium too, since it’s a neurological-support product? I can email the full label and ingredients if needed.”
