INJURED MARE IN DIRE NEED – 11/12/16

11/27/16

Sunday evening…
URGENT: Lots going on, but right now, we need help for this mare!

The mare has an eye injury and other issues. Can anyone help sponsor her with a onetime and/or monthly donation? We can’t do this alone. We need at least six months of monthly commitments to cover her needs. I’m with her right now and want to transport her to the rescue and get a vet out ASAP.

We named her Tinsel. She did well for the vet – she was examined and a CBC and chemistry panel were pulled. Her eye has a pretty horrible ulcer. The vet will be back tomorrow to put a lavage/catheter system in the eye – there are different meds that we need to administer around the clock as well. The eye and the area around it are pretty swollen and painful. Tinsel is also being treated for stomach ulcers. The vet rated her body condition score as a ‘one.’

11/28/16  MONDAY MORNING…

Tinsel had a pretty good night. She does not seem to be uncomfortable. She’s a total sweetheart. Seeing her, and the eye injury during daylight, shows her condition as being a bit better but her eye does not look good at all. I’m not even sure it can be saved, but we will do our best. It’s going to take extensive treatment. Medication will be administered every couple of hours around the clock. The vet will be back out soon to assess it and potentially, put in a lavage system or perhaps make another recommendation.

Please keep Tinsel in your prayers. We still need help with her financially – this is not going to be an inexpensive rehab.

Donations can be made via our website. Our PayPal is: bhfer@earthlink.net. No amount is too small and all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you all so very much.
