The Marquis prescription for Isis’ EPM finally was filled on Friday evening. Four tubes of paste: the most expensive paste I’ve ever bought for her. I found it at a better price than other places but it was still amazingly expensive. Isis was on banomine from the last vet appointment to Saturday morning. It’s odd how being on the banomine changed her personality. She seemed subdued or dulled. The barn owner thought she...

Update from vet visit
Some good news at least. Isis is still only showing mild symptoms. We’re going to start her on Marquis (oh-my-god-expensive EPM treatment) for a month and then retest her for EPM titers. If everything goes well, the treatments should only be needed once. If the titers are positive, we may have to repeat the Marquis treatment. Isis is going to be on banomine (anti-inflammatory good for soft tissue) until Friday or Saturday, whenever...

I’ve posted here before about my mare, Isis (aka the Bay Wonder Mare or the Miracle Mare). On the evening of Friday, 12 June, Isis began to act strange. She lost her coordination and staggered about like a drunk person. She walked into walls in her stall. She was unaware of her surroundings.

Your result for Which fantasy writer are you?… Tove Jansson (1914-2001) 29 High-Brow, -21 Violent, 25 Experimental and -5 Cynical! Congratulations! You are High-Brow,...

So the Mare in the Post-Apocalyptic Equine Wear(™ to saigh_allaidh ) is actually quite pretty out of her fly mask and grazing muzzle. I’ve had Isis since she was a baby. Her grandmother was my Mom’s first Arabian mare. There is a lot of history in her bloodlines, history I was part of. I have almost lost her several times. The worst time was when she had colic surgery due to a strangulating...

The chiropractor finally called me back. The earliest appointment is July 10th. Arg. It is going to be a very very long June. The ground work is doing Isis a lot of good. She has muscled up on her rump. She still has a little bit of a hay belly, but she is getting better. I want to ride. Really really want to ride. Related Images:
