Arean & Peggy Update!
These two sweet ladies recently had their dentals done and surprise! Both were aged at just 15 years old, much younger than we were originally told. They’re still in their prime!
During her exam, the vet had a quick look at Arean's eyes. The vet believes the blindness in her eye is likely due to leptospirosis, a bacterial infection that can affect the eyes, kidneys, and liver. While there’s nothing we can do to reverse the damage, we’ll continue to monitor Arean’s eyes and keep her comfortable.
Peggy is being closely monitored too. She has contracted tendons and mechanical laminitis, which makes movement a challenge. Our vet and farrier don’t think it’s safe to try stretching the tendons, but we’re doing all we can to support her. Soft ride boots didn’t quite work, but glue-on shoes applied a few weeks ago have made a real difference in her comfort and mobility.
These lovely donkeys are in great hands, and we’re so proud of how they’re doing!
