Gradual improvements

Isis had her first chiropractic adjustment tonight after several months without one. Around Thanksgiving she was out in the pasture with two other horses to see if she could be introduced into another herd. Things were fine until we added another mare — then the gelding and Isis and words. She kicked him in the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hair loss?

Ever seen a horse lose the hair on their stomach in patches during the winter? Isis is doing that. Her hair is very scurfy (but no rain-rot lumps) and as you rub it it falls out in patches… I’ve called the vet. Tweet

Off her supplement

Okay, I knew Isis’ supplement helped her. The past few weeks have really highlighted just how much she needs it. For about the past month, Isis has not been eating her supplement. She gets a low-starch pelleted grain and 2 ounces of Grand Meadows Complete, a powdered supplement. She decided that she didn’t like the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Belly Gunk

Posted In: Horses

Some guys get belly button lint, and Isis just gets gunk. About two weeks ago, Isis had a swelling on the right side of her abdomen. Not very large — maybe about a hand long by 2-3 fingers wide. I used a topical tea-tree oil and hydrocortisone ointment on it. The swelling went away after […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Well Isis’ stomach is worse tonight. The swelling has spread and the sores are intensely itchy. I treated her with hydrocortisone cream and tea-tree oil again. I’m hoping the vet can come out tomorrow. Tweet

Which AD&D character are you?

Posted In: Just Silly

I took the AD&D character test and came up as a True Neutral Elf Ranger: True Neutral Elf Ranger Alignment: True Neutral characters are very rare. They believe that balance is the most important thing, and will not side with any other force. They will do whatever is necessary to preserve that balance, even if […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Update on Isis

by Ceffyl Aedui on February 28th, 2006 at 17:22
Posted In: Horses

The vet came out today. She looked at Isis’ belly and took samples to send off to the lab. We opted to do a biopsy of the area. The biopsy should tell us if it is an infestation of some sort, allergies, rain rot, or something else. Isis was really good for everything. She was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
