Austin Update

By

Austin is continuing to do well in Hanaeleh's care. It has only been three weeks, but we are already seeing him gain weight and his coat is looking so much better! Last week he got a nice fungal bath to get rid of some of the fungus that is across his back and legs. We think we were able to kill much of the fungus across his back, but his legs are a more severe case, and will require daily medication. Austin's bedsores on his fetlocks are healed, so we took the bell boots off, and now he … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh Horses: Yearly Vaccinations

Yesterday our horses got their second set of vaccinations. All of Hanaeleh's horses are vaccinated yearly with strangles, West Nile (unless they have an allergic reaction), and a 4-way shot, which includes both Eastern and Western encephalomyelitis, tetanus, rabies and flu-rhino.

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...]
