Monday update

I just spoke with the vet. He said Isis is doing about as expected, which is pretty good considering everything her small intestines have been through. She had some issues with electrolyte levels today. That has been corrected and is being monitored. She still doesn’t have any motility in her small intestines and may not for another 24-72 hours. It all depends upon how she starts healing.

She was transferred from the emergency vet to a regular vet today. Well, he’s not just a regular vet, he happens to be a specialist in insulin resistance. Isis is truly in the best possible hands for her case.

  • Got some of the wonk out

    The chiropractor adjusted Kasane today. She was seriously out of whack. Her sacroiliac joint (SI joint) was rotated up on one side and down on the opposite side, which caused her to have waddle when she walked or trotted. We’re hoping that the correction in the back was causing the lameness in her front right….

  • Sick mare, of course

    What happens whenever you go to the hospital? You come home with a cold. It appears that Kasane may have done just that. On Saturday, I found a great wad of yellow snot on the wall of Kasane’s stall. She hadn’t been in the stall that long, so I thought maybe someone else had used…

    Missing the Barn

    It has been rainy and cold this week, so I haven’t been out to the barn except last weekend. I miss it. I can feel the withdrawl sinking in. I want to go riding so much. Pretty sad when you miss your horse and feel like you’ve lost your sanity? I also feel guilty about…

    Isis is an escape artist. Not out of the usual things: fences, gates, halters. She gets out of grazing muzzles and leg wraps. For a week, we soaked her foot and then wrapped it. And of the days it was wrapped, she took it off probably half of the time. It didn’t seem to matter…

  • Rain rot on the mares

    Both girls have rain rot really bad and it’s driving me nuts. Kasane’s back is so sore from rain rot that she flinches when my finger tips lightly touch her. Poor baby. The dew poisoning on Rajiyyah’s legs are at least looking better. The scabs still hurt even when I’m gently cleaning or putting salve on…

  1. Had an interesting meditation on this yesterday… I saw a lot of pain, but a soothing blue that kept coming in to cover it up. Hope that’s a good sign that she’s healing. Then again, I don’t know whether or not it means a darn thing. 🙂 I’ve never been much of a psychic, but let’s hope it means she’s on the mend, eh? Love to you both (and the kittens as well).

  2. I hope it is a good sign too. 🙂 Lots of people praying for her and sending her energy. Here’s hoping that the soothing blue light is all of that helping her out as much as possible. She is the focus of my world right now…
