Dr. Specht was here for a good part of the morning and I’ve been tending to the new arrivals for much of the day.

Tinsel’s eye doesn’t appear any worse. However, she’s running an elevated temperature of unknown origin and has been started on antibiotics. We are closely monitoring her. She’s got a good appetite and is drinking well.

Tinsel is scheduled to have her dental work done tomorrow but we’ll first have to see how she’s doing. Her hooficure is scheduled for Friday.

Please keep our sweet girl in your prayers.  Thank you.

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

MareInNeedTinsel

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.

TinselEyeBefore1

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.

October 30, 2016

We apologize for any old updates that went out again this evening.  I’m not sure what happened but hopefully I can get some tech support tomorrow to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Thank you,
Theresa

October 28th…

Your votes have done it! We have learned that Theresa’s Eagle Rare Life Award story has made it to the Top 30! Also, five stories from each of the six categories have been chosen and Theresa is now competing with only four others in the “Heroism” category for $5,000. But there’s more!

The Top 30 stories that have received the most votes will be considered for the grand prize of $50,000 regardless of the category in which they have been entered. We must now continue to keep up the momentum by remembering to cast our daily votes to ensure that Theresa remains eligible to win the grand prize of $50,000. Please note that voting ends on January 5th.

Thank you so very much to our wonderful village of supporters! It is because of the dedication and support of each and every one of you that we have achieved placement in the Top 30! Just click on this link and cast your vote! And please share and ask others to vote as well. Can you imagine the great impact this could have on the rescue and helping more horses?
