Saving Misty the little grey pony

16/11/2023

So sorry for the delay on updating you all

When they said it’s a long road ahead they really did mean it

Misty is doing so well though she’s still having 3 feeds a day and about 5 haynets! She loves her grub!

She’s put on so much weight and really feeling well!

She’s still in the stable as the few times I’ve put her out she’s scared herself and proves hard to catch

Her surviving eye is doing well weeps ever so often but not much

I paid the last of the vet bill off so just her day to day feed and hay and bedding now

Thank you still to everyone that asks about her on texts and comments she knows she’s really loved 🥰

Little Misty update on this god awful day!

Misty is still being kept in 24/7 with hand grazing inbetween muck outs etc

She’s coping well with the one eye and it’s really healed well and started to indent in

Her left eye has become a little more cloudy over the past few days and weeping vets said not to worry just yet and keep a eye on it for now

She’s really putting the weight on and eating me out of house and home but as long as she’s all good that’s all that matters!

We are still £330 short of the vet bill with bell equine

If anyone has a tiny amount they could give to wards I’d be so greatful

To donate please call bell direct quoting faye recardo and Misty

Can you believe this is the same pony?

Just 4 weeks ago I bought this little pony to give her a chance in life in a happier place

Little did I know she could hardly see through the biggest ulcers I’ve ever seen

Over £4500 at the vets later

1 eye lost and the other got another chance and a lot of weight on later she’s home and one happy little pony getting to trust us more and more every day

We have a outstanding balance at the vets of just over £350 for her treatment bringing her up to date if we could give it one last push we would appreciate it (ps go fund me have taken a percentage leaving the amount raised just u set £200 short)

Alternatively please call bell equine direct and make a payment of any amount with reference faye recardo and Misty to avoid us being charged xx

Wednesday 25th October

Misty had her check up Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic today and we a absolutely over the moon to report that the SPL line has now been taken out the left eye and no more medication needed 😁

The eye surface is covered in scars from the burs that was taken out

She will need to be kept a close eye on but should lead a fairly normal life once fully adapted with her 1 eye

We can’t thank bell and the amazing vets and staff that have been there for us through this journey!

We still have a way to go with rehabbing her to trust humans and to get the weigh on her and for her to live like the others but we shall get there!

We have a short full with the vets if around £500 so please if you can even donate the smallest amount it would be absolutely amazing to get it paid and behind us 🙏

Alternatively please call bell equine direct so we don’t have to pay fees on go fund me if you quote my name and Misty they will happily help 😘

Sunday 22nd October

Misty is once again home from her stay at the vets it’s was awful news to receive that her right eye was having to be removed due to the severity of tiny ulcer type things (can’t remover the name right now) just under the surface and would of been causing pain and discomfort

Her eye pocket is very swollen and will go down in time she’s coping well at the moment but obviously we struggle to get her to trust us in the first place so this is going to take some getting use to!

She is still on intense treatment to the left eye as we really do need to keep that one!!

We will be back to bell equine on Wednesday for yet another appointment to stain the eye and check for improvements

We haven’t had a up to date bill through till tomorrow I’m sure but In calculations we are needing to raise around £1200 from now please do keep sharing and we may even have a raffle when I’m home

Friday 20th October

Misty hasn’t even been home and week and now back in the vets!

The eyes have massively deteriorated over the past couple of days and after showing the vets videos of said eyes this morning it was a rush to get her into bell by my sister and my mum who are looking after the horses dogs cats and my home!!

😢Misty has unfortunately had to loose her right eye due to the severity of the ulcers that have been causing her extreme pain and discomfort 😢

The eye has now been removed and she’s stable and back in her stable for the night they will update me tomorrow morning but all went well

⭕️ for all that are questioning things I’ve had some horrible comments on different pages - yes I am on holiday! My families summer holiday that we have been on rather late this year / this has been booked and paid for for over a year!

Mistys money that has been raised has gone solely on her vets bill at bell equine and the go fund me fees they take

I have proof of all of this

Misty was never a family pony of mine that I let get in this state neither did I do this to her!!

I paid for her!!!

I have given her another chance at life I haven’t just given her to a rescue centre that are already bursting at the seems and struggling

So please if you have any questions then do message me and I will give you the best answer

Right now I’m on holiday and since 9 am this morning I have been sorting vets transport and worrying about this little pony that I’ve not been with the kids or taken part in what they have done!!

Misty still remains in a good place with medication for the eyes and painkillers for the pain she must be in - still eating and drinking very well!

Evening update

Micheal called this afternoon had another good look in both eyes and can’t see anything else more sinister going on

Both eyes are 70/80% open this afternoon

Plan to keep going with the medication and knock it down to just 3 times a day rather than every 4 hours

GOOD NEWS 🙏🙏

Misty can possible come home on Thursday following another examination by Micheal it won’t be easy and giving medication through the SPL lines and weekly check ups with Micheal is on the cards for the foreseeable

So once again I’m going to have to beg for a little push in sharing to hopefully get some donations 😔 it’s not cheap but we will continue trying for this little girl she definitely a fighter

So…… yesterday I was contacted by a lady who asked me to call her urgently regarding Misty

She was very upset that she had in fact sold Misty in only February!!!!

Due to family illness numbers needed to reduce (we have all been there)

These photos are of Misty when the lady had her for 5 years!

The lady had rescued Misty from the Brecon sales “meat man” back in 2017 where she was straight off the Welsh mountains she’s stayed with said lady till February this year

I love the fact that facebook can bring you information and contacts like I have received over the past 5 days!

Tomorrow is the start of a new week and hopefully good news for Misty 💜🦄

⛅️Morning call from Bell Equine 📞

Misty remains comfy and eating well really has a appetite of a shire horse!! 🐴

Her left eye (the one we had surgery on to remove the burrs) is doing well and more open

BUT…😬🙄😢

The right eye is still streaming with discharge so we may need to have a closer look at that tomorrow when Micheal is back!

It really isn’t going to be a easy ride with this little pony and we will have many obstacles to get round but with the support of everyone we can do this Misty 🦄💜

07/10/2023

We had a lovely bunch of delivery’s today 🥕🩷

Friday 6th October!

The dreaded phone call when your phone flashes “Bell Equine” 📞

Micheal was pleased to say the 2 tiny burr splinters were successfully removed from her left eye and everything looks intact and good to recover

But….. 😬😬

There’s always a “but” in these matters monday we will re look at the eyes to see how they are recovering to know what the further treatment will be - all we do know is that it’s a long road to recovery and weekly visits to the vet for check ups will be on the cards! 🤒

Misty remains in Bell Equine for now till we can take over further treatment at home 🐴

As ever I thank you all for the continued support of donating and sending her gifts 🦄

Please keep spreading the word as the journey is far from over we have only just begun 💜

Little video to show how great full she is for the new head collar and trusting me just a little to take a carrot 🥕 little steps to success 🩷

Misty is loving her new headcollar 💜

She’s was very bright at lunch time when I went to visit her and take her supplies (and cakes for the amazing Micheal and team)

Waiting to hear from Micheal to let me know how the surgery goes either good or bad news reguarding the left eye

Will update you all when I know 🤞

Rhoden Rehabilitation has offered a spa day for Misty when time allows 💜

Thursday 5th October

Call first thing this morning from the amazing vets at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic to say she had a comfy night and bright and well eating and drinking well

Being such a good girl while they administer the drugs through the SPL lines into her eyes

I went to visit earlier and she so much happier and eyes more open than we have yet seen!

Call tonight to say on further investigation they have found “burs” in her eyes causing splinters which has then caused the ulcers and if not removed we can’t fix it!

So tomorrow (Friday) she will undergo a type of surgery to remove the burs from the left eye if this isn’t successful then the eye will need to be removed to make her comfortable and pain free!

I will keep you all updated as soon as I know how it all goes!

Thank you so much for the continued support of donations and messages

My names faye and I’m a horse transporter- I bought Misty on Tuesday 3rd October after being told about her lifeless body being so thin and covered in burrs

Little did I know when I would collect her she was so scared and unhandled her little eyes so puffy and sore and streaming with gunk we got her home to safety
