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.

SeAnna’s Dental Day
12/01/16 Wednesday
SeAnna had a dental appointment with Dr. Bess Darrow today. She was a little reluctant to walk on the trailer but it didn’t take long for her to decide it would be ok.
SeAnna is grossly underweight – a body condition score of 1. Sometimes teeth contribute to weight loss but not in this case – she was just not fed. I’m often told that a horse is thin because it’s old. Some older ones may need a special diet but that’s no reason to let them starve. Starving any animal is just plain cruel.
SeAnna has an overbite and needed some adjustments but her mouth wasn’t terribly bad. She had a happy mouth once Dr. Bess was finished with her.
SeAnna is 20 years young and she is an absolute sweetheart. How anyone could just walk away and leave any animal behind to starve is something I’ll never be able to understand. But she’s safe now, a new chapter in her life is underway. Thank you all for caring!

The Face of Hunger
11/30/16 Wednesday
We named the latest arrival SeAnna (pronounced see-anna) which is a variant of the name Janet. It means “Gift from God.” We lost a dear animal warrior and friend last week, Janet Lacetera, and I’m sure she would be truly honored. Janet had a heart of gold and made a difference in the lives of many horses and other animals.
Dr. Specht did a physical on SeAnna. She’s a very sweet mare estimated to be about 20 years young. She has a heart murmur and a tummy with quite a bit of sand in it.
SeAnna is barely a 1 on the body condition score scale – she’s a rack of bones and is at least 300 lbs. underweight. Blood work and a fecal were done which we will review with the vet tomorrow.
SeAnna has an appointment with Dr. Bess Darrow (Tune-Ups Dentistry) tomorrow to get her teeth done which she badly needs. She’s got an overbite and other issues.
I wanted to give her a bath today but felt it best to wait. However, I did give her a good brushing and it took me awhile to get her mane combed out. I think she really enjoyed the attention.
SeAnna is really a beautiful girl – inside and out. It’s really very sad what she endured before coming here. But that is in the past and she’s started a new chapter in her life. No more hunger or neglect.
If anyone would like to help, please visit our website where you can make a tax deductible one time or automatic monthly donation. Our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net. Thank you all for caring.

PLEASE KEEP TINSEL IN YOUR PRAYERS
11/30/16 Wednesday
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.
