Vet Checkup
Monday morning vet check went well. Isis’ incision is healing well. Overall, she looks good except for her weight. When the vet examined her belly, Isis stretched out her neck and wiggled her nose. Silly girl wasn’t sore, she was itchy!

Laminitis and tendons, take 2

Afternoon update
Good news at last! The vet said that the last time Isis was tubed this morning she had about half of the amount of fluid she had the day before. She also passed some manure (very positive). So overall medically today she looks better than she did yesterday. She has some swelling on her incision,…
