UPDATE: Delilah Needs Help!

By

Many of you may remember Delilah, who was adopted last November. She and her owner have been doing wonderfully together.  Unfortunately, this past month Delilah had a major medical issue where a tumor in her jaw exploded.  Her owner did extensive testing and worked with her vet to help save Delilah.  The prognosis is very good as it was shown that none of the tumors were around any major organs, and Delilah bounced back very quickly when given treatment. Below is an update on Delilah. Her … [Read more...]

Luckily for Brutus, he developed well, and although it took him some time to change from the scrawny colt, he has stopped his … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]

Javier (our former caretaker who also has a great catering business!) made the yummy food for us, which was wonderful as always! The best part was being able to sit … [Read More...]
