The results from the biopsy came back and showed that Isis’ problems were caused by an allergic reaction. What she reacted to, we don’t know yet. I’d be willing to guess that it was something tied in with the rain rot she had (which is now gone).
I’ve been doing more running and enjoying a fitness game called “Zombies, run!” It’s been the only thing that has had me out running and walking just to listen to story lines. Lots of fun. Great motivation. I’ve always been a sprinter when I did run. The longest I could run when I was on…
Rode Isis for the first time in 3 weeks. Bareback. She spooked and teleported. I fell off. Got back on. Laughed a lot. # RT @dancinghorse: CONTEST http://www.bookviewcafe.com Friday 7/30 Answer question in today's chapter of Fools Paradise-free copy to 30th responder! # RT @archaeologynews: (Egyptology) Distance learning BA in Egyptology? http://bit.ly/avcP8V # Related Images:
Yesterday I got a call from someone in Tennessee with a 423 area code. My cell phone has a 423 area code (long, convoluted story) and I sometimes get random calls from people with really thick accents. That’s okay. It happens. I politely told the person that she had the wrong number. This morning I…
This is a really cool tool that creates a graph of a Web site. The pictures are based upon HTML pages and tags used. Pretty neat. It’s a Java applet, so it can take some time. Web Sites As Graphs Related Images:
I’m heading out to the barn again. I have to be careful how much I do. I mowed yesterday (manual reel mower — no motor, high grass… lots of work for a postage stamp size yard). Apparently, I twisted my right knee enough that it’s been swollen. I cancelled dance practise today so instead I’m…
Man, I feel old. My youngest sister — 15 years younger than me — just graduated from high school. Even though I missed the ceremony, I was able to make it for the family party. So good news (her graudation) and bad news (Basette’s passing). I’m in DC this week, so I won’t be posting…

I recently lost my QH to an autoimmune disease called pemphigus foliaceous where the body has become allergic to a protien that binds the upper layers of skin together called desmoglen. Vet with 30 years experience had never seen this disease. The symptoms are very much like other skin diseases(and it is rare)like rain rot ,ringworm and etc. If you have any questions my e-mail is blmoon585@aol.com
Jem,
I am very sorry to hear about your QH. I’ve never heard of pemphigus foliaceous, however, after reading a few sites on it (Google is your friend), the symptoms do sound similar. I’ll email my vet about it and see what she says.
How did you find out your horse had it?
