So that was you. My ears would not stop ringing all day...... couldn't hear a thing. Thank-you April. Your words warm my heart.

*pulls* then runs

It is a Red-shouldered Hawk. They have a pretty limited range up where I live, but down south in the swampy forests they are more common.

Cool bird!

Did you ever get the results from the x-rays?

Thank You! Sometimes I think I should just keep my mouth shut

were are you located at?

Hope all goes well at the vet. I'll be interested to hear how it goes.
Lizzie has been getting bursa injections.

Have you had Wish x-rayed yet?

I know what you mean about expensive shoeing. Lizzie is wearing an egg bar wedge. That along w/ being injected seems to be working but its not cheap.

Sending prayers your way and keeping my fingers, arms, legs, and toes crossed. You shouldn't blame yourself. I know thats easier said than done. You were only doing what you thought was best and sometimes these things happen. We are all human and make mistakes (including the vet) and all we can do is try our best and hope it works out the way we want. You're love for you animals is very obvious and they are lucky to have such a caring and knowledgable person as yourself.
Keep me updated on the results on the x-rays and what the ferrier says.
BTW, have you had any luck w/ the Isoxsuprine? I gave a round of it to my horse, Lizzie, to help treat her for navicular syndrome. Couldn't tell that it did any good. Just wondering what kind of experience you've had with it.

I can't believe she is 8 now. Where does the time go? I'm so sorry about her pony. Does the vet realize that it was the Dex he prescribed that did this? How long before you know how extensive the damage is? Thats a tough break.

Haha... thankyou so much. Yes, he is in law school but I tell him he is too honest to make a good lawyer. He is extremely intellegent. His lowest grade so far has been a B+ and he recieved a scholarship for them. He also found out that he is in the top 10% of his class. He is a very hard worker. He can also build/repair a heck of a fence.
My whole family just adores him as I do his. I really hit the jackpot w/ this one.
