Diva wanted to share her progress—she’s one tough cookie (and she’s asking for more of those, too)!
On April 1st, Diva bravely underwent a procedure to remove two infected teeth. Thanks to the incredible skill of Dr. McAndrews at Garden State Equine Dentistry, we were able to avoid a more invasive and risky surgery. The cost of this essential procedure was $3,400.
Following surgery, Diva was sent home with a new, intensive medication schedule—an antibiotic given three times a day, spaced no less than 6 hours apart, for 30 days. Because of the complexity of her care, we moved her to my home to ensure we could care for her more readably. The new medication alone cost $225.
On April 19th, Dr. Alex came for a follow-up and gave Diva a gold star—she’s healing beautifully! While we’re still waiting on that bill, we’re optimistic. Her sinus infection seems to be clearing, though occasional discharge may continue for the next couple of months. Fingers crossed that a chronic infection doesn’t develop—but for now, she’s comfortable, happy, and soaking up the love.
Now, we need your help.
To continue providing Diva—and all of our amazing therapeutic horses—with the care they need, we’re launching a GoFundMe to cover her ongoing and future medical expenses for any of our therapeuticic horses. These horses are the heart of what we do. They change lives every single day—and they deserve the very best in return.
If you’ve ever been touched by the magic of our horses or believe in the healing power of these gentle giants, please consider donating and sharing. Every little bit makes a difference.
Thank you, from me and Diva (and yes, she says “thanks” with a little nose nudge and cookie request).
It truly takes a village—and I am so grateful for mine.
