Thank you all, you're very kind. We're still a bit shocked atm to be honest. The only plus is that she did get to have a nice couple of months just chillin with her friends and she was happy. The end when it came, was very quick... we had no choice. She was the kindest horse ever, so very...

we just can't believe it.... Rosa came home to me and settled in beautifully with her old friends. Then on Tuesday, just gone, we found she had an inoperable abdominal tumur that no one had known was there. So, so sad, after all she's been through. RIP sweet girl

The first vet, my daughter's usual lady , was on the ball, giving diuretics and analgesics. Unfortunately he was on call one night and she then got stuck with him. He just left her fitting and said he wouldn't give her anything else as 'if you hit your head, it's going to hurt'. At this point...

thank you, Alec. Rosa sustained concussion. Sadly for her she was treated by an arrogant, egotistical, self opinionated imbecile who calls himself a vet because he can claim to have some letters after his name. Not only did he miss diagnose in the first place but his totally inadequate, even...

Yesterday my own vet came to examine Rosa as she hasn't seen her in the flesh for 2 years and obviously needed to assess her fully. I had stopped all medication as soon as she arrived here so we could see properly just what we were now dealing with. This is the same vet who was able to help so...

Aargh... didn't mean that to sound like that! I meant to say that it was my suggestion and a joint decision with my daughter, Rosa is her horse, not mine. She was so happy to be starting with Rosa again and things going so well after all the heart ache that she was reluctant to let her go...

Hi Alec, Thank you, yes, a big relief. She only has the occasional Danilon now, usually when she's been out in strong winds and rain. We play it by ear, so to speak. She does seem to get a bit of a headache in the wind and we do pamper her a bit with that. Apart from that all seems good and...

Hi guys. I apologize to those of you who've asked and have not had an update recently.... I shall give daughter a gentle reminder! All's well. Vets very happy. Rosa has done really well. She was got to the point where she was able to live out 24 hours a day most of the time. She does still...

I've met Donna Blinman....too much 'smoke and mirrors' with her answers to anything for my liking. I personally found her to be very evasive when asked about anything. looks like you've got some useful advice on here....

if anyone should find they are being given Metacam and it's proving useless, there is a drug called Equinixin. It's of the same family but although less targeted in it's effect, it is much, much more effective overall. It does however have the potential for some very unpleasant side effects...

Apparently she's spent the day 'stuffing her face' and rubbing herself on the woman on the yard who helps my daughter when she's at work. Good reports all day today. So far, so good. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Update... this message from my daughter early this morning;- "Shockingly, she's eating her hay, has drunk a lot, devoured her breakfast and whinnied at me". Believe it or not, I'm a private person and not taken to public debates etc, so the only reason I came onto here was to stand my...

From clinical veterinary examinations they're happy that even if there are micro fractures anywhere, she isn't showing any signs of neurological damage. She may well have a tooth damage high up but they think that will stabilise itself soon and can be sorted in time and they don't wish to open...

Well, apparently john Keen agrees with us and my own vets!! He must be losing the plot too!! He's prescribed another drug which she's been given tonight that will last 24 hours. In the meantime he has asked the visiting vet to source the drug my vet suggested two days ago, that had been ignored...

If we believed she had no realistic chance of a good quality of life then we'd be the first to call time and call it a day, but we do think she's still got a chance atm. That's if she can be made comfortable, that is, and the vet should at least try. All we're asking is that they give her some...
