Well sheesh Bonnie, don't you think you have enough excitement going on without adding more to it :bgrin Maybe you should just become a hermit and stay home, we all love and need you too much to have something happen to you. Keep listening to your angels! : Get better soon! Sending many...

Big Congrats to all of you! LOVE the picture of Cammie and Sasakwa :

I'm only 26 but I seem to travel a couple times a year so I put together a "folder" last year, with directions for each horse. My parents could take care of them for a short time without me, but it would get to be too much with everything. So there are plans for each horse, my big oldies would...

Rori, No need to crawl back under a rock...........not for me anyway :bgrin I totally agree with not giving antibiotics, so does my vet, which is why he only prescribes the Doxycycline to prevent secondary infections. He says that a lot of times during kennel cough, especially in older dogs...

My vet uses Doxycycline when dogs have kennel cough, as it only fights secondary infections. It's a itty bitty tiny, REALLY cheap tablet pill. My dogs got kennel cough last year, even though they were vaccinated. We did the Doxycycline for 10 days, the cough lasted for about 3 weeks on my...

Just a thought on getting baby to move. You can even do it while the vet is there, while the ultrasound is out. Hopefully your mare will let you do this. Hold a pair of clippers (or anything that vibrates), turned on, just in front of her udder and move them around. I've never had a fetus...

I just showed my vet the pictures to get his opinion as he was here. He said he would very much doubt that it's Fistulas.....he's never seen any do that. His best guess and he would bet on it, would be....... Fungal Granuloma He said to have your vet run a full histopath, and it will show up...

Can't help with the eating part, I think you are doing all you can. Take her to the vet soon if she's not showing improvment. As for the sores............It sounds distinctively like Ringworm!!! Especially if the other kitty has it too. Cats are very prone to ringworm and it spreads easily...

I have one mare that gets thick syrupy colostrum like that, and she continues to do so for at least the first 24 hours. Then it starts turning white. My vet has tested her colostrum and says it is super rich and good and full of antibodies. The foal has more suck strength than what you can...

I promised you all an update. Debs is home from the hospital, just got home a couple hours ago. She had to stay and extra day. So she's home and doing ok, but could definitely be feeling better, she's not feeling to great right now. So any extra good thoughts and prayers are appreciated. :

Hi Everyone, Got the word a little bit ago that Debs came through surgery just fine. She's awake and talking but very drugged so slurring a little bit, but making sense :smt030 Everything went well, so hopefully she will still be coming home tomorrow. I'll update again later (maybe...

Hello to all. Well I finally made it to Debs. It was definitely an adventure and trial of errors by the airline. I left Albuquerque on Sunday morning at 8:30 on time. Got to Minneapolis on time. Got stuck on the tarmac for 45 minutes trying to leave for Detroit. Detroit had shut the...

Jill, if the tetracycline doesn't work you might talk to your vet about using Chloramphenicol. It's very dangerous for people to handle (wear gloves, don't get any on you), but works great on horses. When my filly Karo had her jaw surgery last year and the infection was found to be in the...

WOW, pretty filly, and not much phases her does it :bgrin I like 4, 11, 14 and 25.

I emailed Robin C a couple of weeks ago to ask her about feeding Rye as we are looking into some hay that has about 5% rye in it. Here is what she emailed me back, hope she doesn't mind me sharing. My vet will be here later today and I'm going to ask him about this ergotamine and see what his...

Mona-- I'm sorry, I didn't state that very well. What I meant was that I gave half my herd the shot in the neck, and the other half of the herd got it in the butt. I have some hores that won't tolerate injections in the butt : So I gave it in the neck, and had no neck soreness. I got no...

I got mine from Heartland Vet Supply in 5 dose vials. They don't have it listed on their site but it's in their catalog, you have to call for price. Going by memory I think I paid $19 per shot or there abouts.

I just thought I would share. I vaccinated my herd with the new Merial Prevenile West Nile Vaccine last week. My herd includes 15 Minis and 4 big horses. Age of minis is 10 months to 24 years (geldings, stallions, and mares). NONE of my horses had any reactions what-so-ever. I gave half the...
