Happy Friday & Labor Day weekend! ☀️🇺🇸 Luna & Miley spent some quality time at 🏥 Peterson Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala over the past two weeks. 🐴Miley-has complicated hoof issues and lumbar pain sources, which will require ongoing care. She is now in Mega Rockers (special shoes) and one was cast to ensure placement. After exams & xrays she received injections (Depo-Medrol & Sarapin) for osteoarthritis. She is now on 2 Rx meds. 🐴Luna-was put in Mega Rockers for ongoing challenges with laminitis, her blind eye was causing issues and as the vet said, treating an eye that doesn’t serve a purpose isn’t smart, so she had it removed, hence the wrap & special mask. AND she was tested for being Diabetic and YES she is. 😞 New feeding plan, different grain, and prescription medicine being compounded which she will need to stay on. She will be on at least 2 Rx meds. 📆Both horses will need to go back to Peterson Smith in 6 weeks. Senior horses, who once gave their all to their owners for entertainment/competition, can end up in rescue and need expensive care for quality of life. They truly earned being cared for in senior years but we need help helping them. As we identify the ongoing needs/meds for Miley and Luna, we will reach out in hopes of sponsors for these ongoing costs. If you can contribute to their vetting & care so far (almost $8,000) every dollars helps - any amount $10, $25, $50 helps us continue this commitment. Thank you for caring & please say a prayer for them & send good vibes for healing & good health!
