damn, Donnah..

I can't believe they let that get that bad.

I can smell it all the way over here.

Supposedly that all came up in a couple of days. (A deep abscess surfacing?) Maybe it's Pigeon fever. I don't know enough about horses to say. But from the posted info, this wasn't about neglect, even if it looks that way. I can only take their word for it.
That pony sure was happy toward the end of things.

I bet he feels better

My Great Grandfather was a vet, the kind that delivered babies in a pinch. He wrote a little booklet he left with his patients on various home cures, most of them were a combination of whiskey and cocaine and such...oh and turpentine.

We actually used the turpentine one with a colic-ee
horse once..worked like a charm. Of course the garden hose helped a little.

Horses have so many different types of colic caused by so many different things. I'd be afraid of doing any home cures on them.

That was heartrending, and completely disgusting.

I will be brushing my teeth until the superbowl.

Even the dog was appalled.
