Walker & Waylen Improving, Jo Needs Prayers

Walker and Waylen did great for their eye exams last week. Walker has some old scarring in his left eye but, thankfully it doesn’t bother him. Both of these very sweet boys have gained weight and are looking good!

Jo, however, could use some good thoughts and prayers today. Her dementia was on full display this morning. She has been given medication and is being hosed down. Her best friend of thirty-plus years, Dancer, is never far away. I’ve spoken to the vet and I’ve done everything I could. If Jo takes a turn for the worse, the vet will be called out. Jo, presently, is swallowing, so we’re on the right track.

Jo’s Symptoms: Dazed, aimless wandering when she did move, standing looking lost, confusion, staggering, withdrawn, not swallowing, unable to pull her tongue back into her mouth, a moment of being totally startled as if she’d just come out of a period of “nothingness.”

Jo’s Treatment: Banamine, craniosacral massage – bending the neck to get release, using what I call a ‘thumper’ adjusting tool on her and observation time.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Welcome Back, Sweet Nash

We continue to remain busy here at the rescue and the days are over before we know it. The temps are down a bit, which thankfully, provides some relief for both horses and humans alike, but especially for our horses who don’t sweat.

Some of you may remember Nash. He’s now back at the rescue – a rainbow appeared out of nowhere and welcomed him upon his arrival a few days ago! He’s another precious senior, born in 1992, and is a grandson of Dash for Cash.

Nash is in need of sponsors to help with his vetting, farrier, dental, and routine needs. These are his health issues we are currently treating:

  • He has infections in 3 of 4 feet – he was CleanTrax’d yesterday.
  • He’s underweight so his diet has been modified to better suit his needs.
  • His bloodwork indicated that he’s anemic and there are some other highs and lows as well.
  • Nash has a high parasite load (1500+ EPG) so we’ve started him on a deworming protocol as prescribed by the vet.
  • He’s being treated with Succeed for ulcers – this will also help his immune system.
  • Once his immune system is improved, he will need vaccinations. He will also require a Panacur PowerPak as well as be seen by Dr. Bess, our equine dentist, for dental work.

Would anyone like to help sweet Nash?

If so, you can make a one-time donation or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation (which you may cancel at any time), via our secure Donate page. There, you also have the option of making your donation in honor or memory of someone. If you wish, you can donate via Network For Good or JustGiving. You may also donate via PayPal.me or via the ‘Donate’ button below. Please note that your donation is for ‘Nash.’ All donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small.
