Mindi on the Mend

Mindi is becoming a bit more animated each day. Mentally, she’s still processing and adjusting. It may take her days, weeks, or even longer to come around. But she will. She’s approaching me now instead of walking off when I go into her paddock. That’s a very positive step in healing, in my opinion. Her coat is looking much better and her eyes are brighter. She needs to gain quite a bit of weight and muscle.

Regarding Mindi’s physical health, her blood test results were what we typically find in malnourished horses. She needs a few supplements; Liver Kleen, Ferrofood from Standard Process, Transfer Factor Stress Pak, a Panacur Powerpac, and Succeed. If anyone would like to gift her any of these supplements it would be greatly appreciated. I’ll try to post links to them tomorrow. Dr. Julia will be back tomorrow to do an Infratonic treatment on Mindi. Hopefully we will be able to get on the dentist’s schedule soon. The farrier comes on Sunday.

If anyone would like to gift any of those products to Mindi, please contact us. Thank you.

Presley

Our beloved Presley transitioned to Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon. Presley was truly precious and we will miss him so very much. Grief is truly the price we pay for love.

Oreo

Oreo’s ear canal ablation surgery has been scheduled for July 7th! Thank you to our wonderful little village of supporters who have made this possible.

She gave 15+ years of service to her humans. Once she was too old to keep up the pace, they showed their gratitude by discarding her. Sadly, this happens a lot. She’s thin. Her skin is very unhealthy. She has scars from the heavy tack she wore while working. I’m sure her teeth are also in need of attention. We have named her Mindi.

We were a bit concerned about Mindi by mid-afternoon after we brought her in. She hadn’t passed any poop and wasn’t drinking nearly enough but she wasn’t dehydrated. She did seem a bit uncomfortable. Her temperature was normal but her respiration was high. We gave her some electrolytes and Ulcergard. She looked totally exhausted and finally laid down and took a late afternoon nap. When she woke up she looked better which made me feel better. She finally went poop which made us all feel better.

After her nap, she got a good grooming. I wanted to give her a bath but she’s in quarantine for a couple of weeks. Her skin is pretty unhealthy but this will improve. She obviously hasn’t been getting good nutrition. The vet will be out in the morning and I’ll update when I can.

We are requesting donations to help to address Mindi’s initial needs: an examination, bloodwork, fecal testing, dental, quality hay, etc. She also needs monthly sponsors for her ongoing care.
