I mentioned to you Tuesday that my heart had gone out to a woman who needed help with her 15 year old Quarter horse gelding. She actually planned to have him euthenized yesterday morning. Something spoke to my heart of hearts and asked her to see what the vet said about saving him. Well, the vet came out yesterday morning and found these things:
1. internal parasites - treated with ivermectin March 10
2. external parasites - easily treated
3. possible tooth needing attention
4. horse is so submissive he won't fight the herd for food
5. bloodwork reveals normal organ function so Thunder is going to be okay!!
I offered to help this woman if she would agree to give him a chance to live. The vet bill is $195. I plan to find a way to pay this to her for giving Thunder another chance at life. Now I need to find a place to move him, and he is near Stratford. For any of you reading, let me know if you can foster temporarily or give this sorrel gelding a good home!
