We've come a long way....
For the past week she has not worn her mask that covers her eye with the plastic cup. I was nervous about leaving it off but I had to find out if she could do without it. Her eye has been moist and it looks like she is making enough tears to leave it off. I just picked up the last of her antibiotics, too. We are going to stop giving her these after this last batch. So ten more days and we will see how she does without anything but her normal vitamins. I hope that her own immune system is now strong enough to keep this infection from coming back. This has been a long road. I hope we are at the end of it. We will know in a couple of months if everything is back to normal. Her lip still gets a little crooked when she runs around in the bullpen but it goes away after an hour or two. It may be a forever thing but we sure have come a long way.

I've never met you or Truffles but I came across this blog when I found out my horse also had temporohyoid osteoarthropathy. Your story gave me so much hope, and helped me decide to go through with the surgery. If I hadn't found your blog, my mare would not be alive right now. Thank you so much, and I wish you and Truffles all the best.
