First day on meds

ByKim (Ceffyl)

Isis’ medicine arrived today via shipment. (I love it how a “morning” shipment arrives at 11:30 AM.) The medicine is an apple-flavored powder that can be fed in Isis’ grain: one scoop, once per day for 10 days. That’s it.

She ate her first dose in some beet pulp and licked the bucket clean. Seems like this is going to go very well for her eating the meds.

Good news for Isis. Unfortunately, Kasane has broken out in hives from something in her pasture. Several other horses are also having hives. We’re not sure from what exactly. I treated her bumps and scabs and then put her back out. Poor girl was very sore over her croup.

  • Less gimpy Kasane

    So it is two days out, and she is looking so much better. I feel incredibly relieved. She’s walking and even trotting out in her field. She’s gimpy but feeling so much better than she was Tuesday night. Still gimpy, dragging the front right a little, but major improvement from where she was. Related Images:

    Back from the show and man was I tired! I had been worried the show would be cancelled because of the rain we’ve had (plus the forecast). The show was on, luckily. I felt really good about our preparation for the dressage portion of the test. I was very nervous about the cross country part….

  • Update on Kasane

    ByKim (Ceffyl)

    My vet is awesome. She has been keeping me updated on how Kasane is doing. She’s had her hocks lavaged twice she since arrived at the hospital. She’s done well both times. Today, the joint was not as distended.  Here’s what my vet said:  The joint fluid has some blood in it from the synovial…
