I don't know who among you has gone through this "thing" with a horse and I don't know if her recovery time has been this side of miraculous but amazing things are going on with Miss Truffles. Her ear rotation is almost 100% and her eye closes about 90%. and her abscess is healing beautifully. My vet is so pleased. The funniest thing happened yesterday. When I arrived to give her the medicine, she sniffed my arm. Sounds normal, right. But understand that she actually sniffed my arm like a dog might sniff your pant leg after you patted another dog. It seemed so strange. I wonder if she had lost her ability to smell things in this ordeal. If she did, she got that sense back. I talked to my friend and she said that Truffles had done the same thing to her. She gave her arm a very long sniff as though she had never smelled anything before.
Her sagging lower lip is back to normal and the twist in her top lip is pretty much gone. This silly horse is ready to run and kick up her heals and is being a little naughty on her walks. I would love to turn her out with a good set of splint boots on and let her kick up her heals but she still has that lavage system in her eye. The horsey ophthalmologist is coming out next week to see if she is making enough tears to take it out. We are all very excited with her recovery.
Today, I am glad that we did all this to save her. It is expensive and I am going to have to spend a long time paying off everything but I think, in the end, I will get a healthy horse out if this.
Whoop Whoo!!! Praise the Lord! Alright team!! Great Work! Keep it up till it's all over. Take your friend out to dinner and give that horse a treat. Don't forget to treat yourself too. If I win the lottery I'll pay for everything. Love you Nanette! Love ya, J
