Results of synovial fluid tests for Kasane

My vet called with some good news for Kasane. The synovial fluid test and culture came back today. Preliminary culture results are no growth. Yay! The ultrasound of her joint fluid looked clear with moderate synovial thicking. 

This is some of the best news we could have had because it means that there is no bacterial growth and that the joint damage from this whole issue could be minimal. 

Apparently, Kasane also liked the water with the molasses in it the best. 

She will be home soon, too. Best. News. Ever. 

I’ve been out to see her several times. Every time she perks up and yells at me. I always hate leaving her there. It’s been getting chilly so I brought her blanket out as well.

    It’s been a very long, muddy winter. And fall, and most of the previous summer too. I had a curious confluence of events that kept me feeling slightly overwhelmed. You know, that feeling where you are juggling everything but can not add one more ball to the mix without dropping everything. So I didn’t blog….

    On the drive out to the barn, my headache of two days went from mild to bad to worse. I get sinus headaches with migraine-like symptoms (light and sound sensitivity especially). My head was way too sensitive to go riding. I still went out to the barn since I hadn’t been out all week and…
