Here is a video of our winning run from Sunday. Dunnit and I won the Rookie Professional class on Saturday and Sunday, as well as the Limited open class on Sunday. This puts us in the lead for Ontario for our class. We're hoping we can hang onto it! Thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes, brainwaves and vibes! <br />

DW Equine Photography did some beautiful work both on the video and the photography (unfortunately the video doesn't have sound online- my mistake not DW's, and once the photos are reayd we will remove these samples and replace them). <br />

We had beautiful weather and a GREAT group of participants in our annual Spring Clinic with the Tripe C Saddle Club. We worked on Showmanship, Rail Classes AND Pattern Classes from 9am-3:30pm. It was a long day for some of the horses who had never been off the farm, and a long day for some of the horses that were getting off the farm for the first time this year. Thanks Triple C for giving your time and energy to put this together, and congratulations to all the horses and riders on a sucessful day!Lindsay Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387468874718429569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774998563664810713.post-17874802755721837142012-05-16T10:07:00.001-04:002012-05-16T10:07:08.322-04:00More babies!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last of the expecting mares delighted us with two more fillies! Lena gave birth to the filly pictured above all by herself in the middle of the night without much warning at all. She's a pretty sorrel with a very laid back attitude.<br />

It was a momentous occasion celebrated with lavish gifts, balloons and a trip to Petsmart. Yes, it was Sofie (the dog's) birthday!<br />
Sofie's day started out with a trip to Petsmart to find her favourite thing in the world other than everyone she knows and tuna; a rubber chicken. She selected a pink flamingo from the wall of toys with a bathing suit. <br />

Everything went well and both are happy and healthy! <br />Foxy's registered name is Definitely a Fox. Her sire is Define Good. The foal's sire is Chic Please. <br />So far the suggestions for names have been: "Definitely a Foxy Chic" and "Chicken Please". <br /><br />The buckskin mare is now four weeks over due and looks like she could foal out at any time.Lindsay Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387468874718429569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774998563664810713.post-76115753361349918242012-04-10T10:11:00.002-04:002012-04-10T10:18:42.440-04:00Genzanit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NNRF7ZykfBXplstHlaeVXgOzXNaiO5sdSb-nW1kdqsbfeqXEM-Tv4-587rHtsikbquf1GkB95pnxy1ZjoN4nYLOyjZSOHUAkctxVO41srygE0MbJX6RnHMs1afzdxaOR7r9kIwcxNPvg/s1600/edit12.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 274px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729774823128473458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NNRF7ZykfBXplstHlaeVXgOzXNaiO5sdSb-nW1kdqsbfeqXEM-Tv4-587rHtsikbquf1GkB95pnxy1ZjoN4nYLOyjZSOHUAkctxVO41srygE0MbJX6RnHMs1afzdxaOR7r9kIwcxNPvg/s400/edit12.JPG" /></a>Genzanit, fondly known as "Dunnit" or "Donut" around the farm, and I participated in our first show together over the Easter weekend. Dunnit is Coco's dad, for those of you who recognize the name. He has been shown numerous times as a 3, 4 and 5 year old, and has spent the last 7 years breeding. This past weekend was his first show in a long time and his first show, hopefully of many, with me. We went to Michigan State University and competed at a Michigan Quarter Horse Show in the Open Reining. We schooled on the Friday night in the show pen, Dunnit came alive in the show pen, as aged horses do. Saturday we loped through our pattern quietly and ended up third out of twenty-plus entries earning 2 AQHA points. We're looking forward to a fun show season!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCjRXCzVfVEgWMURna12RcnC6X6vWnsk9zjcoD4bB4BcwWbub2KeCDCLh4IhjHMLea_CSy6L5DTFXQiczjFDpb9ZiQU_Meh_KBwDFXioDkwTaANGXEH3VgcTH_QOYxmt83x__r7t6Uu9b/s1600/Dunnit+head+shot+2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 253px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729774817257441042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCjRXCzVfVEgWMURna12RcnC6X6vWnsk9zjcoD4bB4BcwWbub2KeCDCLh4IhjHMLea_CSy6L5DTFXQiczjFDpb9ZiQU_Meh_KBwDFXioDkwTaANGXEH3VgcTH_QOYxmt83x__r7t6Uu9b/s400/Dunnit+head+shot+2.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div></div>Lindsay Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387468874718429569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774998563664810713.post-79973075351578566142012-04-10T10:05:00.002-04:002012-04-10T10:11:07.481-04:00Mom Team 2012<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPz4kgw9uPN0ns_86bb28TdnzzBBSoi5VLdz5t-M-ySAx6LMd_2uI-kaAfYT8e1oGkZF4JknykCgZsp2YIpiIjpNZuv0aHdSosjU8cb_Co_XSHsMBzzHL5Byo8ecVOUJFbUI77hdUBhEGJ/s1600/mama%2527s+and+babies+spring+2012+008.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729773772454290338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPz4kgw9uPN0ns_86bb28TdnzzBBSoi5VLdz5t-M-ySAx6LMd_2uI-kaAfYT8e1oGkZF4JknykCgZsp2YIpiIjpNZuv0aHdSosjU8cb_Co_XSHsMBzzHL5Byo8ecVOUJFbUI77hdUBhEGJ/s400/mama%2527s+and+babies+spring+2012+008.JPG" /></a>We are looking forward to a promising year for foals this year!

Gabby was the mother of, "Georgia" who many of us have the pleasure of knowing. A generous donation was made to Coco's vet bill by Teresa in Gabby's memory as she makes her way to Horsey Heaven. </p><br /><p></p><br /><p>The good news is Coco is continuing to progress, albeit slowly. Her nose is totally healed now. Her ears are scabbing and where the scabs are coming off she is left with small bald patches along the tips of her ears. She's bright, active and eating well. We look forward to the next step of fundraiser, coordinated by Nicole Van Esch, Monique Hoffer and Cathy Coish which will include a visit to see Coco and some super gift baskets that will be raffled off!

Coco was diagnosed with a very rare bacterial infection in the beginning of October that threatened her life. She fought through it, as well as a number of other awful side effects and conditions that developed as a result of her weakened immune system. She is a fighter and her story is beautiful. <br /><br />Two amazing Hayes Horsemanship supporters have offered to host a trunk party with their "hostess benefits" to go towards Coco's monstrous vet bill. Pecocksie and Patrick, the business that runs the house parties, also jumped in and offered to bump the "hostess benefit" up to 10% of everything they sold in October and at the trunk party this Saturday at the Coish residence. They even put up a picture of Coco and Peanut on their Facebook Fan Page! <br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Consider this your invitation to browse the website for Pecocksie and Patrick: <a href="http://www.wix.com/shoppandp/parties#!product-gallery">http://www.wix.com/shoppandp/parties#!product-gallery</a> or to "Like" them on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/LocoElevenApparel">https://www.facebook.com/#!/LocoElevenApparel</a> Or to attend the party on Saturday!

The infection targets weanlings primarily between 4-7 months but has been diagnosed in older horses in very rare cases. It's considered a new diagnosis in horses and is seen most commonly in pigs. The bacteria is very difficult to culture, and since it usually infects weanlings and is quite rare, the research has been limited on the treatment, recovery and long term effects.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3rU7KVIVi_YHKUa03iQUCxjCXbcvMqAJg8Tv4ZfPq_EfRc4nsJ6C0e_th8VKfXvaCdxf0kmTuZYy7CeSNefaKovW41zygrgEYv9mcOgbO5gJBXpEnhDfXQDSyoe09vLynvr7QHTila75/s1600/IMG_1761.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672029521267431554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3rU7KVIVi_YHKUa03iQUCxjCXbcvMqAJg8Tv4ZfPq_EfRc4nsJ6C0e_th8VKfXvaCdxf0kmTuZYy7CeSNefaKovW41zygrgEYv9mcOgbO5gJBXpEnhDfXQDSyoe09vLynvr7QHTila75/s400/IMG_1761.JPG" /></a> Coco was doing exceptionally well before the diagnosis. These pictures were taken a few weeks before she presented with symptoms. The research I have done indicates that it is almost impossible for horse owners to observe the infection early on. The horse doesn't show any symptoms until the infection is developed to a dangerous degree. You can see in these pictures that Coco was well muscled, had a shiny coat and no swelling on her chest or along her underline.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHMO1ZrRw8U9lEWdHqQcPlTD6ABBYTKpoALZofV_gHT6yeWiiyjU-HXrbxbJdv5i-XbRVNxhhNYkaA_Q8i7HDQrSAVZFvORAOGh5mxPf-MPObcWLEG3i_pTXsadeAc_k81l96a4j5Bhu-/s1600/IMG_1736.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672029521697984338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHMO1ZrRw8U9lEWdHqQcPlTD6ABBYTKpoALZofV_gHT6yeWiiyjU-HXrbxbJdv5i-XbRVNxhhNYkaA_Q8i7HDQrSAVZFvORAOGh5mxPf-MPObcWLEG3i_pTXsadeAc_k81l96a4j5Bhu-/s400/IMG_1736.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />Unfortunately I don't board Coco at one of the farms I visit daily. I had checked on her on Friday, September 30th. She had lost some weight since being weaned, one month ago. She was a bit overweight before she was weaned, so I wasn't worried about that. I was more concerned that her coat looked a bit dull. I made plans to deworm her during the coming week just to be sure. I got a phone call from the owner of the farm where I keep her who is an oustanding horseperson and friend. He called on Monday, October 3rd to let me know she had a bit of diarrhea. He had given the horses some salt with their grain and wondered if maybe she had gotten more than her share from the common feeder.<br /><br /><br />When Jessie and I arrived to check her on Tuesday morning, she had terrible diarrhea, a rough, dull coat, an edema (swelling) along her underline and was listless. The skin around her eyes was blotchy, white and black. She urinated and her urine was white. We called for the vet immediately.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiASwRhuth0La9h9USf0kd47XoEXYP2EFUyz4uLvzD_iO1tKreBye55H-dfNQQJsTMmFKKvao8VkyTSNtI2OzzimCpjnFLwhCVRM54VAyqObpnt03A7apngMqZjopNCUFIKs1mMJp62f7wl/s1600/COCOsick.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672028521389062562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiASwRhuth0La9h9USf0kd47XoEXYP2EFUyz4uLvzD_iO1tKreBye55H-dfNQQJsTMmFKKvao8VkyTSNtI2OzzimCpjnFLwhCVRM54VAyqObpnt03A7apngMqZjopNCUFIKs1mMJp62f7wl/s400/COCOsick.jpg" /></a>While waiting for the vet, we haltered Coco in a foaling stall with the other colt she has been turned out with. She had only been haltered once before this and had struggled and fought for about half an hour. That day she didn't make any fuss, just tried to back up and sit down. She stood with her head low, as if it was hard to keep herself up and her eyes looked dull despite all the commotion of being in the barn and the other colt calling out to the herd outside. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>The vet showed up in a matter of minutes and immediately set Coco up with a catheter (the tube in her neck) for intravenous fluids. She was fairly dehydrated from the diarrhea but was still making an effort to drink periodically. He inserted a 14 gauge needle (thats a big one!) for the catheter and Coco didn't flinch. My stomach dropped as I realized just how sick she must be.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>He gave her some Banamine to help her feel a little better so she would try to keep herself hydrated. He also gave her 2 bags of I.V. fluids, 40cc's of antibiotic and a dewormer. He took a blood sample and a fecal sample to be sent away to confirm his suspicion of Lawsonia. He showed me how to use the catheter so I could flush it regularly throughout the day and administer more Banamine if she showed signs of colic. He thought she may have salmonella, an extreme case of parasites or "worst case scenario; Lawsonia". The treatment plan at this time included 40cc's of the antibiotic "Chloramphenicol", three times per day approximately eight hours apart. The vet took the samples to the clinic to be analyzed and promised to get back to me as soon as possible.<br /></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-B-XqdcW6EcRDAvLI83IhBbeIZgKkzKXgDxUhzqbq8ZyXYwZypMzwhL1sfRDY9Z2B-Zfszz85CuIYWWICuDCyLdBIoRflF9HBT9nLOkJntem-mamJbZBzvHL_0yx3DscivtclUEZ3zXX/s1600/Coco+sick+086.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672027159048128386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-B-XqdcW6EcRDAvLI83IhBbeIZgKkzKXgDxUhzqbq8ZyXYwZypMzwhL1sfRDY9Z2B-Zfszz85CuIYWWICuDCyLdBIoRflF9HBT9nLOkJntem-mamJbZBzvHL_0yx3DscivtclUEZ3zXX/s400/Coco+sick+086.JPG" /></a> Here you can see the edema along her underline.

We took her outside to be in the sun and move around a bit. Her ankles had both rocked up in this awkward position.

She showed no signs of distress being alone without her pasture mates.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZmZYW-iiUDdH8y4PlPJ32WHGL5E3QnEtJqJ76z_RxDhr5D9YsJK1MQC8u3tVuMJtavbCjrGNt5EvBwD3NZRd8LUcVFnJ6owmShMW46Ccs2O-ea3TUO8DktELJ3T0ub9Nhll6quGYk5sn/s1600/Coco+sick+087.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672027145478633666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZmZYW-iiUDdH8y4PlPJ32WHGL5E3QnEtJqJ76z_RxDhr5D9YsJK1MQC8u3tVuMJtavbCjrGNt5EvBwD3NZRd8LUcVFnJ6owmShMW46Ccs2O-ea3TUO8DktELJ3T0ub9Nhll6quGYk5sn/s400/Coco+sick+087.JPG" /></a><br />Here you san see the swelling between her front legs. The edema is a classic sign indicating low protein. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>When the vet called back he had a pretty good indication from the bloodwork that she had been infected with Lawsonia Intracellularis. It would take approximately one week to get the results back from Gueph to confirm the diagnosis but her total protein was very low and her Albumin was dangerously low. It was so low that it didn't register on the test and threw the machine into an error. He said my options were to treat her with at least 6 bags of plasma transfusions. He said each bag cost about $400. She would also need an intense course of antibiotics, which was about $150 per bottle. Each bottle would last for about 4 days, and she would need 2-3 weeks of this. He said without treatment she would have about a 20% chance of surviving on her own. He said I could think about it for a while if I wanted and that he would euthanize her if I decided not to treat her. He said there was nothing that could have been done to catch the illness sooner, that this is usually how it presents. He said the farm where she was boarded would be a very low risk for this so it was just an unfortunate, rare incidence and that the other foal may be at risk. We had the other foal tested and his bloodwork came back normal. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I asked the vet while we were on the phone if it was better to get the plasma treatments started immediately and he said yes so I asked him to come back to the farm to start treatment as soon as possible. He said it would take an hour or so to thaw the plasma and he would be back once it thawed. I got off the phone and had a mental breakdown and melted into a puddle on the ground. Well, not really...but I was upset. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I have been so fortunate to have good luck with my horses. I had never had to make a decision like this before. I had made a difficult decision to sell my first horse when I graduated from Meredith Manor. I had been scared when my dog Sofie had a lump on her neck that could have been cancerous but turned out not to be, but other than that I had never been asked if I would prefer to turn down treatment and have one of my animals euthanized. I've sat with a friend while her horse writhed in pain until she could make the decision to put the horse down and felt at peace when other people have made that decision for their animals to end the pain. I've understood when other professionals just could not justify the expense of keeping a horse alive with a poor quality of life and made the decision to have their horse euthanized. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>In the back of my head was one of the phrases I heard over and over at Meredith Manor, "If it doesn't make money, it doesn't make sense". I knew that spending $3,000 minimum on a weanling that was out of a mediocre mare (in terms of her ability to compete as an Open reining horse) didn't make sense. I also wrestled with the fact that I feel so strongly about responsible breeding. I believe that breeders need to be prepared to take care of the products they produce and that if they did, we wouldn't have nearly as many issues with the slaughter of horses due to overbreeding. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I thought about all that Coconut's dam, Peanut, had done for me and my career. She was the bargain of a lifetime at $800. I decided that my choice to treat Coco was justified by the fact that I had so little invested in her and Peanut so far, she was so strong and robust before falling ill and that the vet didn't seem like he had given up on her. I decided I didn't want to be the kind of person who doesn't give a baby animal a chance to fight for life and that being present for her birth and life so far was well worth the hole in my bank account. It wasn't really something I had money for at this time because I had just purchased a show horse a year ago and spent a lot of money on my show season, with hopes to build my business in a new direction. I was also hoping to purchase a reining horse to be a permanent part of my lesson program and she was going to be a major expense for me. Oh well, I decided money was just money at the end of the day and that my life would be richer if I gave her a chance to live. I didn't even think at this time that things could get worse. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>The vet had said there was no guarantee that even with the treatment she would survive, but that if she did recover, she would recover fully. I felt confident in the care that I could give her and had a lot of faith in the vet despite his response to a lot of my questions: "well that's the million dollar question". </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>By the time he returned with the plasma, I had picked myself up and brushed myself off and was ready for whatever we were going to face. I had Googled Lawsonia and was ready to ask some questions about the treatment and prognosis. The vet brought back a copy of the bloodwork for me to see. I didn't understand much of it, except that it showed that she was fighting off something, the numbers were all over the place and that her protein was dangerously low.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBREtzX92ODndE6nPRzpXKPTR89dfni0NVhtX1moMHxfWivCYzZmZ-sjCjqyW3rKnyBMfoJGmxhDU-1kaRMKzLI18mJFEku9Pk2qspmvOusHcG016gJixxXLCxyW9b9D7JyBcR7dUxnNOf/s1600/Coco+sick+090.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672027143379492722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBREtzX92ODndE6nPRzpXKPTR89dfni0NVhtX1moMHxfWivCYzZmZ-sjCjqyW3rKnyBMfoJGmxhDU-1kaRMKzLI18mJFEku9Pk2qspmvOusHcG016gJixxXLCxyW9b9D7JyBcR7dUxnNOf/s400/Coco+sick+090.JPG" /></a> Here you can see the figured in red showing abnormalities, and in the picture below the Albumin (ALB) is below 1.

The bacteria had infected the small intestine and caused it to thicken into big loops. The small intestine had just about shut down and wasn't digesting the nutrients she was getting from the food she had been eating. The vet said that she would start to feel a little better pretty quickly but that she would be sick for 2-3 weeks before she really started to get better. He also said that she would look worse before she started to get better. She was already dehydrated and as the antibiotic started to work and the small intestine started to return to normal, the fluids would be drawn from her muscles and her skin. She was going to lose more weight. At this point she looked like she had lost about 40 pounds in the past three days.<br /><br /><br />The antibiotic (pictured below) was administered orally.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOVf7cwvXkNSGLs40juDOp0qLY4EVZpqQIZT57eFT5dlLGv6mpYY51dV0YkUEQKmxLV3Ekc67Qefw0CkUBZMteUtXVlhhCMw8i_-ld8WsmzpgAfpsbR_qpqD-pZO9qUvkRlaZziVpKTCXT/s1600/Coco+sick+094.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672025668836060034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOVf7cwvXkNSGLs40juDOp0qLY4EVZpqQIZT57eFT5dlLGv6mpYY51dV0YkUEQKmxLV3Ekc67Qefw0CkUBZMteUtXVlhhCMw8i_-ld8WsmzpgAfpsbR_qpqD-pZO9qUvkRlaZziVpKTCXT/s400/Coco+sick+094.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8KHsRaKZBQ9_ArwRn0o5sIdLLQ3RiSugu7wH0712AzsOMux7Rrl4XeGR_wPd-nQMo6UuskFtHjy5iB2woXS06puOt7eioVMk9QKzvko8zJTr5TNi4jm0_DduowryElFRDEbpwmrrMgMZ/s1600/Coco+sick+095.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672025664367124306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8KHsRaKZBQ9_ArwRn0o5sIdLLQ3RiSugu7wH0712AzsOMux7Rrl4XeGR_wPd-nQMo6UuskFtHjy5iB2woXS06puOt7eioVMk9QKzvko8zJTr5TNi4jm0_DduowryElFRDEbpwmrrMgMZ/s400/Coco+sick+095.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />When the vet returned to give Coco the plasma he noticed some teeth grinding and suggested we medicate her for ulcers as they can be a problematic symptom.

She showed some interest in eating the hay in her stall and drank about 2 inches down from her water bucket. I got her a salt lick which she licked profusely and I was pleased to see her bite it and paw at it a little. I left that day at 5:30.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>When I came back at 11pm to medicate her she was very uncomfortable. She wasn't writhing or fighting, she was standing still rocking back and forth on her back legs and I could see her flank seizing up in spasm. She wasn't comfortable standing on either of her back legs and there was some swelling in all four ankles. She had her tail forced between her legs and her hindquarters were quivering. She had extremely loud and unusual gut sounds.<br /></div><br /><br /><div>I exploded into a million frustrated, sad, anxious pieces (not really, but that's what I felt like doing) and wondered if I was going to have to make a decision to end Coco's pain. If it was only going to get worse for a little while and she was this bad now, was it humane what I was doing or was it selfish to want to keep her alive?</div><br /><br /><div>I felt awful calling so late at night but I wanted to confirm how to administer the Banamine through the catheter and the dosage. I gave her 3cc's and she seemed more comfortable within minutes. Exhausted and feeling defeated, I went home to try to sleep for a few hours until the next dosage wondering what I would find when I came to the barn in the morning. It was a stark contrast to seven months ago, driving out to the farm anxiously to see if Peanut had gone into labour yet.<br /></div><br /><br /><div>In the following days I noticed the swelling on her stomach shrinking slowly. The swelling on her ankles remained for about a week. It went down first in her front legs and took almost 5 weeks to come down in her back legs. Most times when I came into the barn she was lying down. For the first 5 days I had to encourage her to get up.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWT0T2Wkbiz4J5iYOFh9F4akzn1WVrYsimxHWfniteO_UlTkKixtWJztwmcuyNIeswXVAfU50ioZ7DPj7Jjep5bj_l7IzkRE931o1HAzFujAHsn5s_7fDJqSlkrByFGpgMEosP9UND__Xm/s1600/Coco+sick+111.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672023230108839090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWT0T2Wkbiz4J5iYOFh9F4akzn1WVrYsimxHWfniteO_UlTkKixtWJztwmcuyNIeswXVAfU50ioZ7DPj7Jjep5bj_l7IzkRE931o1HAzFujAHsn5s_7fDJqSlkrByFGpgMEosP9UND__Xm/s400/Coco+sick+111.JPG" /></a> It was an exciting day when I came into the barn and she was standing, and another exciting milestone when she was up and alert standing with her nose at the bars of the stall.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVAY4xBRFLwsA7OClOTUL3G0iGWqnI_Vi0iMlIPgBe1lEBY47YuUjBvyEgxXx_fcL9drpMXGgUoiYFB9uUQKXvFS-CLwzdFFd0FF4Gn2vxXC3w1eV7j2McfsFqwbw9tRNURYcuLMneXNm/s1600/Coco+sick+108.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672023222706632770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVAY4xBRFLwsA7OClOTUL3G0iGWqnI_Vi0iMlIPgBe1lEBY47YuUjBvyEgxXx_fcL9drpMXGgUoiYFB9uUQKXvFS-CLwzdFFd0FF4Gn2vxXC3w1eV7j2McfsFqwbw9tRNURYcuLMneXNm/s400/Coco+sick+108.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I saw her lose more and more weight, a total of just over a hundred pounds within about two weeks. Her ankles became so swollen that the skin broke open and scabbed. We covered her broken skin in baby rash cream when she started going outside for small amount of time. She also developed dime-sized sores on her hindquarters and a number of small round sores on her muzzle that the vet guessed were ringworm. The fungus had taken advantage of her weakened immune system. The sunlight would help kill the fungus. The first day that we turned her out, we left her for two hours. I had to chase her and clap my hands to get her to walk slowly. When I caught her to bring her in she was breathing heavily and had some blood in her nostrils. Her breathing settled back down to normal once she was in the barn standing still. She had blood in her nostrils and was breathing heavily again the second day that she was turned out even though she barely covered any ground during the two hours. She was still lethargic enough that she walked right under the electric fence. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Again, I panicked a bit that it was awful what she was going through. Was she going to develop any other conditions with her weakened immune system? Were her ankles going to have permanent damage from the awkward position they had been forced into? Her eyes were bright and she was trying to eat. That was what I went on for days. I drove to Lucan every morning for 6am to medicate her and check on her and also after a days worth of teaching and riding, for her last daily dosage at 11pm. I did hours of research during the first week and found out that Coconut water has been used in humans as a substitute for plasma. It was used in the first and second world war and has been used since then in tropical areas where blood was not readily available. It's also been used to rehydrate and to rebuild albumin levels. I read that it has incredible healing powers and kills the fungus that causes ringworm. I confirmed this on some medical websites, asked the vet and decided to give it a try. It wouldn't hurt her and maybe it would do some good. I didn't have the guts to give it to her intravenously, which is what they had done for humans to subtitute for blood, but I did give her about 100cc's three times each day orally. I also made a dramatic appearance at the grocery store in my muddy boots to buy as much plain yogurt as I could find to offset the antibiotic.<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEHBMDEIF5LQyQ5IY-QHdCpXVzY57l2YfLJShurgKAzXP3nUXPJmZiBxKRgQ49YM_SKORdfTagGQx68NudmPdMtsXLyavFDNH7C_gXhGJEDuxcmei4x3nR8zbp5wnC6uvS-yS5_DMt7iqC/s1600/Coco+sick+110.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672023216383465970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEHBMDEIF5LQyQ5IY-QHdCpXVzY57l2YfLJShurgKAzXP3nUXPJmZiBxKRgQ49YM_SKORdfTagGQx68NudmPdMtsXLyavFDNH7C_gXhGJEDuxcmei4x3nR8zbp5wnC6uvS-yS5_DMt7iqC/s400/Coco+sick+110.JPG" /></a> Some swelling here in her front ankle and it's tough to see but under the hair the skin was all broken open.<br /><br />Below you can see the ringworm that started to break open on her nose during the first week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN6qGubgFND9NmPX6XCXHboTNRN7ZFdTThA5_BsQJJ1PGOcCm9eXGi7D7D4q805FSxJNuvg9NiW8YfDuHs9xcP-dqb_S5YOKlvXE_lz3Oo687cNuyWflbInKBRhw_o-Gsp_vZbvQpDWl6j/s1600/Coco+sick+114.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672022502236806770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN6qGubgFND9NmPX6XCXHboTNRN7ZFdTThA5_BsQJJ1PGOcCm9eXGi7D7D4q805FSxJNuvg9NiW8YfDuHs9xcP-dqb_S5YOKlvXE_lz3Oo687cNuyWflbInKBRhw_o-Gsp_vZbvQpDWl6j/s400/Coco+sick+114.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />Pictured below is Coco, down about 70 pounds on the third day.

By this time Coco had been sick for two weeks and I had to get ready to leave for Congress. Thank goodness for good friends. A friend and nurse who rides with me and happens to live in Lucan offered to help out with medication while I was away. Jessie would medicate her for the first two days I would be gone and continue walking her for a small amount of time each day (the weather had turned this week and we couldn't turn her out) and then my friend would pick up where we had left off in the afternoons while the barn owner picked up mornings and evenings. </div><br /><br /><div>There were a lot of medication charts that went around making sure she got all the medication and keeping record of her progress from day to day.<br /></div><br /><br /><div>Her blood had been checked after two days of two bags of plasma each day and registered at 1.4. This was still well below the normal range but a marked improvement. After two more days with only one bag of plasma each day it registered at 1.2. The vet asked me if I wanted to give her some more plasma. Another tough decision. By that time she was looking brighter and the swelling was staying down on her belly and front legs. I opted to wait and see how she progressed and if anything changed for the worse I would give her additional plasma to the six bags she'd already had.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhabKrg3M4BHjp05zBp93fWyBtyp6YhkbKEV0QJN0c1F1gILRezfof9PRrvY_cGSwmguiQh56uxQYTN51Ders8vMdkzzdM_2hmIDGHq9odDPXSot7iX994BKM79n9xTrwLPhog0MN7DUk/s1600/Coco+sick+125.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672019159946110530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhabKrg3M4BHjp05zBp93fWyBtyp6YhkbKEV0QJN0c1F1gILRezfof9PRrvY_cGSwmguiQh56uxQYTN51Ders8vMdkzzdM_2hmIDGHq9odDPXSot7iX994BKM79n9xTrwLPhog0MN7DUk/s400/Coco+sick+125.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0vmod0hBinW9SQcxEbiPvUmNX0S3upJl4WpeqTLKsSYS47lcRjlcflHfnLTufP9X2ngqIvPyTcaMMt60iAJAEM0n7dPMDD9bHUIOvedAMD9Uv1WdUMy990JPb528F8S6MUPK8giRO_FHD/s1600/Coco+sick+126.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672019155244624946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0vmod0hBinW9SQcxEbiPvUmNX0S3upJl4WpeqTLKsSYS47lcRjlcflHfnLTufP9X2ngqIvPyTcaMMt60iAJAEM0n7dPMDD9bHUIOvedAMD9Uv1WdUMy990JPb528F8S6MUPK8giRO_FHD/s400/Coco+sick+126.JPG" /></a> Here you can see how sunken in her hindquarters were becoming.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQflDcdYdUfIbh65PYhxjFv2zys3D_z14k5ozOcQpwqJGrKiQ-jLmiKRHFTQZWSHEru2Z9kb_BwqxCZAfv6wzVGrsFwd5uFXuh9vxRAybDgZzWgvzwwF34iC0b-u1u524phwWVQy3A5Tc/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+316.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672017024827499122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQflDcdYdUfIbh65PYhxjFv2zys3D_z14k5ozOcQpwqJGrKiQ-jLmiKRHFTQZWSHEru2Z9kb_BwqxCZAfv6wzVGrsFwd5uFXuh9vxRAybDgZzWgvzwwF34iC0b-u1u524phwWVQy3A5Tc/s400/Coco+recovery+2+316.JPG" /></a> When I returned from my trip to Congress I found Coco looking like she'd lost a little bit more weight. This was to be expected because she still wasn't absorbing all the nutrients from her feed and she still wasn't eating as much as she should be. She wasn't expressing any interest in grain at that point. I did notice that her belly looked bloated. She was eating enough grass to have a big grass belly by the end of the day and without any muscle tone, she looked quite pot-bellied and wide. The vet said this was a good thing and that she would look like this for a while but should start to look like she was putting on weight, albeit slowly.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKQ_7hqkI4obaHSY7jI4T0buhzMslDgS4AXKBf56X4WcdYGpxutKI_agBFiGLebXWq2dJvO01oP2a7_oXcU3mRLoU6NC9R0xBgllUdC3Fsa4B_zjTOycZAuWDVp8LLyrBw_103-uIzn6xX/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+317.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672017016584327154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKQ_7hqkI4obaHSY7jI4T0buhzMslDgS4AXKBf56X4WcdYGpxutKI_agBFiGLebXWq2dJvO01oP2a7_oXcU3mRLoU6NC9R0xBgllUdC3Fsa4B_zjTOycZAuWDVp8LLyrBw_103-uIzn6xX/s400/Coco+recovery+2+317.JPG" /></a> I noticed she had a few really dry patches of flaking skin.

They have scabbed and are starting to heal now also.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After being sick for one month, things seemed to be evening out. She was now eating as much grass as she could and was turned out for 8 hours during the day in which she covered a lot of ground and was usually found along the back fence of the pasture. She was drinking significantly and her manure was regular and healthy. She had smelt awful since her diagnosis. Apparently humans also give off a sweet, tangy odour when they are low in protein. It was enough to make your eyes water when you walked in the barn during the first three weeks and faded slowly in the fourth week. She finished her antibiotic treatment at the end of the third week at the recommendation of the vet and consistant with the research I did. The ulcer medication finished up about 3 days later and we stopped giving her the yogurt and coconut water but did give her some coconut oil with the grain that she was starting to pick at a little. She had some blood work done and her albumin was up to 1.7. I wanted to have a party to celebrate. I wanted to have another party to celebrate the day that Jessie and the barn owner couldn't catch her in the field because she was trotting away from them. </div><br /><br /><div>I figured Coco had a total of 2,880 cc's of Chloramphenicol (anitbiotic), 7,200 cc's of yogurt and 7,200 cc's of young coconut water, and was medicated orally 648 times. </div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5AEQlPQIVAmjoaq69sEVgSQT6P9sBLYFxJlhxbL_N6Z2hbxf-kX1LVt20AEb01DnsYR2lnJeePNk9HfkMN-cvd2KtNHvusFIGtQssnQK0356RQdz45AsBUu2dSCZwtkCGTpbB4FZ36j-i/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+354.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672016104798447698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5AEQlPQIVAmjoaq69sEVgSQT6P9sBLYFxJlhxbL_N6Z2hbxf-kX1LVt20AEb01DnsYR2lnJeePNk9HfkMN-cvd2KtNHvusFIGtQssnQK0356RQdz45AsBUu2dSCZwtkCGTpbB4FZ36j-i/s400/Coco+recovery+2+354.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM-SbU9xCYGJtPKOUsQKfPSnzq8e2sSEdEzCbT-5e44Z1gGhWosc2a2XDczOTlWZMovHJ2ij18mhH7OsPm1KkRnu41MOjW3rY_CkFI-2stktBhbAz4xLTFdo2HgnhdgvRp0zVe4NeS_6p/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+355.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672016098697170610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM-SbU9xCYGJtPKOUsQKfPSnzq8e2sSEdEzCbT-5e44Z1gGhWosc2a2XDczOTlWZMovHJ2ij18mhH7OsPm1KkRnu41MOjW3rY_CkFI-2stktBhbAz4xLTFdo2HgnhdgvRp0zVe4NeS_6p/s400/Coco+recovery+2+355.JPG" /></a> Although Coco seemed stable I was concerned now about her ankles. Her right ankle dropped back down into it's usual place after 3 weeks. Her right ankle was still rocked up awkwardly at 4 weeks. I was starting to worry she would develop a clubbed foot. If this was the case she would never make a show horse or a lesson horse for me. She may not even be rideable at all.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXStEFa1grJEjyoiUkTYW1StiJsYW29dywt-ety-c9PY2mwFzQbh_ujHhejKFby1cu7rFWhScQt18tE_nJGJUW4zgcJS_I3jUdw7AHy_R-6g2IETjbCFZduBPT-DS8YnRglRkzFRV5vl_/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+356.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672015344618649602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXStEFa1grJEjyoiUkTYW1StiJsYW29dywt-ety-c9PY2mwFzQbh_ujHhejKFby1cu7rFWhScQt18tE_nJGJUW4zgcJS_I3jUdw7AHy_R-6g2IETjbCFZduBPT-DS8YnRglRkzFRV5vl_/s400/Coco+recovery+2+356.JPG" /></a><br />It took four weeks for the sores on her hindquarters to scab and peel off.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIRCrfrLDETxGhB0shhyAsp-q413DANjpCXT0TuiMIoT7bZONi5j4G1sD8cwlHJ_egLhNBtZV4dRbPRojwGfUUwjZxpXUH1YKom7XN5SWE2n-7n0OHXlWpGnOuAlavpu57AdAhZX6pFUD/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+357.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672015340719814882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIRCrfrLDETxGhB0shhyAsp-q413DANjpCXT0TuiMIoT7bZONi5j4G1sD8cwlHJ_egLhNBtZV4dRbPRojwGfUUwjZxpXUH1YKom7XN5SWE2n-7n0OHXlWpGnOuAlavpu57AdAhZX6pFUD/s400/Coco+recovery+2+357.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34u2MrK-eSWYPMwB9m6DNON9D_62-UqOT3OcHd7F-soXlKQdfe_fwmsaeBXTn_e_FlUIKj-CJqisQ_tU29onflOwN_kK0t-K9uJQiyIXL0_pgjL6sRdBjTN3QQmTYElA3ewiuepxyhiae/s1600/Coco+recovery+2+358.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672015338102192354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34u2MrK-eSWYPMwB9m6DNON9D_62-UqOT3OcHd7F-soXlKQdfe_fwmsaeBXTn_e_FlUIKj-CJqisQ_tU29onflOwN_kK0t-K9uJQiyIXL0_pgjL6sRdBjTN3QQmTYElA3ewiuepxyhiae/s400/Coco+recovery+2+358.JPG" /></a><br />Her hooves had developed a sharp ridge from the dramatic change in her health.

I did some more research and it appears that the only studies concerning athletic ability and body score in weanlings with Lawsonia have been done with thoroughbreds bred to race. It appears that they did not recover in body score enough to be considered as big and healthy as their siblings who had not been infected, as yearlings. They did, however, compete and race at an equal level as two-year olds. The conclusion of the study was that they may take a year or so to fully recover in coat condition, musculature and size but that in the long term the athletic ability is not affected. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I owe a lot to everyone who helped Coco and I through this ordeal. I'm thankful to have a skilled veterinarian who diagnosed her right away. The reading I did showed that a lot of vets did not make the diagnosis right away and as a result the condition continued to worsen. I'm thankful to have a group of students who were understanding on that Tuesday when the diagnosis was made and I had to cancel lessons in a hurry. I'm thankful to have a great friend in Lucan and an exceptional barn owner to monitor any changes and administer medications. I'm thankful for a super friend who has worked for years with standardbreds and has seen several cases of Lawsonia who gave me valuable advice and encouragement when I needed it most. The support online and daily at lessons was amazing. It's handy to have a boyfriend with some horse skills too... Thank you everyone.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>And then there's Cathy and Olivia Coish who have been an amazing support group.

It looks like Coco's albumin is <span style="font-size:180%;">UP to 1.7!!!!!</span><br />He said this was, "VERY good", and we could expect to see some weight gain over the next few days. <br />She's been bright and active, she's been eating up all of her oats and almost 2 flakes of hay per day. The swelling has stayed down on her belly and ankles. One of her ankles still isn't sitting quite right.

Roscoe was a gem in and out of the show ring. We rode with some of the top individuals in the industry, human and equine. We're still waiting on the results and score sheets but all goals we had were met and or succeeded. All the hours in the saddle, the long drive, the special shoeing, the borrowed equipment, the torn slinkies, the shows when we weren't feeling our greatest, the extra care from everyone around the barn, the good luck wishes and the congratulations on a job well done (despite knowing the placings!) are what it's all about.

We really need it to get up to 2.2 to be in the low-but-safe range. She is, however, behaving better. She's eating more of her hay, interested a little bit in some grain, she's harder to catch in her stall and last night at 11 even tried to steal some hay when we took her for a little walk down the aisle in the barn. <br />Her ringworm is clearing up nicely and the sores on her ankles seem to be clearing up also. The swelling has stayed down on her belly and front legs, there's still a little left on her hind legs. She did have her back ankles tipped up akwardly, likely partly from the swelling and partly from being weak and uncomfortable. Yesterday her right ankle had dropped down into it's natural position. <br />We've still got a way to go but I think we're headed in the right direction...Lindsay Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387468874718429569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774998563664810713.post-38964286565563967752011-10-10T14:02:00.003-04:002011-10-10T14:51:44.034-04:00Come on Coco!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFYPr7-eBICBEnWzSHh8q5RuiKrQ4LuXqZ3k7OEksoDanqLpAiOPomAR7Y4J1JVPuAkBUjtHiBeHXxfD7uzUWAu6y7vXG15YpkWjjJYQNP1aXEOiUPzQQNsRWzGsYDL9LDBBgg73Dy4Jd/s1600/COCOsick.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661925865308141442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFYPr7-eBICBEnWzSHh8q5RuiKrQ4LuXqZ3k7OEksoDanqLpAiOPomAR7Y4J1JVPuAkBUjtHiBeHXxfD7uzUWAu6y7vXG15YpkWjjJYQNP1aXEOiUPzQQNsRWzGsYDL9LDBBgg73Dy4Jd/s400/COCOsick.jpg" /></a> Dear, sweet Coco came was diagnosed on Tuesday of last week with <a href="http://www.equidblog.com/uploads/file/JSW-MA1%20Lawsonia.pdf"><strong><span style="color:#ffff00;">Lawsonia Intracellularis .<br /></span></strong></a><br /><br /><div>The bacterial infection causes her protein to be dangerously low. She was showing all the symptoms and when we had her bloodwork done, it didn't even register in the test. Through the week with antibiotic treatment and plasma transfusions her Albumin has increased. On Thursday it registered at 1.2 and on Saturday at 1.4. The normal range is 2.2-3.7. We're hoping Tuesday morning it will still be at 1.4 or maybe even have climbed. She has not had any plasma for 3 days now. Her weight is way down and she has developed some ringworm on her muzzle and hindquarters. </div><br /><br /><div>Everything is being treated in the best possible way so we are hoping she has now turned the corner to the road to recovery. What a scary week! Thank you to everyone for their support. I have documented her symptoms, progress, daily routine and medication, and taken several photos. When Coco is a little more stable, I will post some more of this information. The link above describes the condition. The other colt was also tested and was clear. </div><br /><br /><div></div>Lindsay Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387468874718429569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774998563664810713.post-81306112944159460842011-09-19T12:08:00.005-04:002011-09-19T12:32:17.235-04:00Shedden Fair Triple C Saddle Club Horse Show<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjGVZ5hYDH8fUO1lFxciNwZcKeu9kg6IG7LIOby8UUQQiFt50xWyBxbG9EsSQ799YdfTayKtu3_hN_5pMPkzNvVYTJO3tnVD3IJg8hjCx58dBTn9oe5GmTmFTlQIW2pddp3eIKG8CEUdl/s1600/haleydustrybarrells.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654108822313935410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjGVZ5hYDH8fUO1lFxciNwZcKeu9kg6IG7LIOby8UUQQiFt50xWyBxbG9EsSQ799YdfTayKtu3_hN_5pMPkzNvVYTJO3tnVD3IJg8hjCx58dBTn9oe5GmTmFTlQIW2pddp3eIKG8CEUdl/s400/haleydustrybarrells.jpg" /></a> Lori and Wayne Brown of Browns Photos have caught some of our favourite memories from the Shedden Fair Triple C Saddle Club Horse Show.
