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).
And here it is several weeks since my last post. It has been very busy, and as always, my life has centered around work and horses. Rajiyyah has continued to fill out and looks very good now. She is at a good weight and her feet are coming back to the appropriate angles. The farrier…
How many horses do you know who have a full staff of professionals? Isis does. I need to make t-shirts that say “Team Isis” for her farrier (podiatrist), chiropractor/massage therapist, veterinarian (doctor), trainer, and owner (me). Five people trying to make one mare sound. My friends think I’m a little nuts working so hard on…
The party was fun. I got to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen I a few months. You know when most of your friends have kids because they think 9:00 PM is late. Overall, a nice stress free evening at the party. Because I was at this party, I had to skip my…
My income tax refund came today. Woohoo! It was seven times more than I expected! My CPA said that was the correct amount. Can you say new roof?! Related Images:
The vet called me this morning from the vet school with an update on Kasane. She is doing well and has been getting the radioactive substance via IV. Everyone loves her because she is so well-behaved and sweet. Proud of my girl. I went to the vet school to see her during lunch. I missed…

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?
