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.

    I think I should expand my consulting business to include “horse health specialist.” With all of the special requirements Isis has for managing laminitis and insulin resistance, I’ve learned more with her than all of the years I’ve had horses. Low carb grain. Grazing muzzles. For months, last year through the beginning of this year,…

  • Rides, saddles, reins

    Tack shop sale was dangerous. Picked up some gorgeous, comfy Stubben reins. They are rubber reins but the rubber is soft like silk and no thicker than the half-inch reins. The ends of the reins have clips on them: perfect for training rides (but not something you’d want to show in). These reins had been…

  • Update on Rajiyyah

    I went out and saw Rajiyyah today. She is definitely looking better. She has filled out — she is well muscled over her hips and shoulders. Her coat is thick and winterized, although she will start shedding out soon. She is such a character. We had snow for an entire weekend, so she spent more…

  • Saddle news

    Some good news at least. I went back to the tack shop last Thursday to pick up a saddle to try on Isis. It’s a wide-tree all purpose Spanish-made Zaldi saddle. Lovingly taken care of by the previous owner. It’s very soft. Unlike the other four saddles I’ve tried on Isis, this one settled perfectly…

    Catching up

    A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I’ll write some posts to catch up. Here’s the brief list: New horse: Kasane is the primary reason why I have not been posting much on here. I’ll write a long post about here with pictures. Stella: She has been fighting a urinary tract infection and…

  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…
