Lara have you contacted you vet about this yet? I have a feeling she has aspirated milk into her lungs and perhaps has aspiration pnemonia. Little Bit had that, the vet put him on antibiotics and he got right over it, no biggie! Those large braces may really be bringing her down as well...

Mona you wrote: Oh! of course I did NOT think that Mona! :new_shocked: :no: I know you better than THAT! YES! sometimes it is most definitely more humane to put a dwarf Mini to sleep; no animal should ever have to suffer, just because us humans don't have the guts to do the right thing...

Oh! Mona I hope that you or no one else thinks for a minute that I would ever condone letting a dwarf Mini or any other animal, for that matter, suffer! I don't post on here much, unless someone e-mails me to tell me that there is a thread on dwarves, like this morning, because many times I...

No sucking reflex...still not a reason to euthanize a foal, in my opinion...it may take a few days to develope. But I just re-read LaraP's post, she said the foal was sucking the syringe dry now! WooHoo! These dwarf foals have such a stong will to live, it's just amazing! Little Bit was too...

Hello Laura~ This is Janell, the lady that makes the corrective shoes for special needs horses, "Little Bit's *Magic Shoes*". Your vet did the right thing by splinting this baby's legs for now. It will allow her to be able to walk and stand to nurse and keep her from stretching those little...

Hi Tinalee~ A friend of mine found your thread and e-mailed me to come read it and post. Ihis is Janell, I'm the lady that makes the *Magic Shoes*, it sounds as though your little Faith may just need to have a pair of these shoes to help her walk better. Would you be able to send me some close...

A freiend PM'd me and told me there had been new pix of little Faith posted, I HAD to come see! Thank you so much for the update on your little darlin'. She's cute as a bug's ear. I'm tickled to hear such GREAT news about her! I too, see dwarf characteristics in Faith, even more so than her new...

I myself would REALLY hate to say YES Faith IS definitely a dwarf just from the pictures that have been posted of her so far! I would like to see pictures of her taken from the side, directly in the middle, when the photographer is squatted down to her level. purdy please.... Pictures taken...

Hi Tina~ A friend of mine sent me the link to this thread, and asked me to reply to it. First of all, little Faith is just ADORABLE! CONGRATULATIONS! You have already received lots of very good advice. I too would most certainly have a vet come check her out, the IGG test IS important. It's...

I forgot to mention that we sold 85 Dwarf Mini calendars and 29 Little Bit's 2007 Forum calendars. :aktion033: Also this morning I have had orders for 3 more Dwarf Mini calendars! :bgrin Thanks again everyone who ordered! Everyone has beeen VERY pleased with their calendars and the quality...

I just wanted to post and thank everyone who ordered the Dwarf Mini and Little Bit's Forum calendars this year, we sure do appreciate it! : I also wanted to brag a bit and let ya know that Little Bit's collected $600.00 from the sales of the Dwarf Mini calendars! :aktion033:..... I will be...

Thank you Nancy. I'm gald to hear that the two little dwarf minis you know about have good homes, that's wonderful! :aktion033: Strawberry isn't so wide, she just has a BIG tummy, because her iity bitty body stopped growing, but her internal organs didn't; they are most likely about the...

I apologize for taking so long to post these pictures: Of course this is my Little Bit when he was 2 years old, he lived to be a little over 3 years old, and only grew to be 20 inches tall, weighing 83 pounds. He had an underbite with the front of his mouth twisted slightly, and his tongue...

HEY AL B....You just MADE my day sir!!! :aktion033: I have been worried sick, as to what in the world I was going to do about my Biscuit's (dwarf minis) dental work!!! There is not ONE vet that I would trust to do my babies!!! :no: WooHoo! way to go Carl!!!! I will be calling to make an...

Thank you so much for your expanations John, I appreciate it, as I am sure others do, as well. I will post pictures of my dwarves on this thread for you to see and tell me which type of dwarves you feel they are. I have always gone by the article in the MHW written by Nancy McCurry in 1998...

Thank you for your response John, I appreciate it. I am wondering when you say: is this a full body x-ray (if that is even possible)that you need or what part of the body of the dwarf are you wanting the x-rays of? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have re-read your post a couple times...

Hi John~ Just found your post. I have a few questions for ya: How do we go about doing this with the x-rays? And do the owners of the dwarves have to pay for the x-rays and having them sent to you? Thanks, Janell

There are a LOT of horses out there that are or were wearing Little Bit's *Magic Shoes*, as well. They are corrective shoes that I started making years ago when my dwarf Mini, Little Bit, was walking on the side of his front hooves and on the bulbs of his heels in back due to tendon laxity. I...

I didn't get to see this particular interview, but it sounds as though Thumbalina's owners are great people and I REALLY have to commend them for doing the RIGHT thing with her sire & dam! I feel that is the only choice we have at this point in time, to reduce the number of dwarf foals being...

Shana, if you click on the picture in my first post, it will take you to the video...it did for me.
