    22 year old horse, severe anaemia and weight loss

    He has worm counts done regularly and is double dosed for tapeworm twice a year. The vets says that the severe anaemia is so bad that it rules out a lot of the issues that cause only mild anaemia such as vitamin/mineral deficiency, gastric ulcers, worms, Cushings etc. She basically sais it...

    Severe Anaemia/weight loss - experiences please!

    So sorry to hear you had to go through the same thing. I think I am resigned to the fact that he doesn't have a long term future, but so hard when he is trotting over for his feed and right now is happy in himself. I will never let him suffer, and if he can't gain sufficient weight before the...

    22 year old horse, severe anaemia and weight loss

    Thanks, don't worry, I am working closely with vet and will follow her advice. Just really looking for hope I suppose, that anyone has had a horse with such low RBC and weight loss, and pulled through. Pretty sure it is autoimmune and/or lymphoma, and prognosis is very poor, but there is still a...

    Severe Anaemia/weight loss - experiences please!

    Hi, Rummi is a 22 year old NF x cob, that I have owned since a 4 year old. He has always been a VERY good doer needing restricted grazing in Spring/summer and very little hay and no hard feed over winter. For the last 18 months, he has lost some weight/condition, but I just put this down to...

    Looking to buy a puppy?

    I would add that any dog lover should adopt a dog from a reputable rescue rather than buy a puppy. Don't breed and buy when thousands die! Thousands of dogs are pts sleep every year on uk due to lack of homes but still people breed!!!! Many of the smaller rescues are more flexible if you work...

    Can any breeders lend some advice?

    I despair that anyone would consider breeding or buying a puppy when thousands of dogs are PTS in uk pounds every year for lack of a home. Always rescue, never buy from a breeder or god forbid breed yourself. Even if you want a pedigree just google the breed and rescue to find a specific rescue...

    Post Delfie - dog selfie

    Hello, I foster dogs and fundraise for a fantastic charity, Rescue Remedies Dog Rescue. They save dogs that are on death row in pounds purely due to lack of kennel space and too many abandoned and straying dogs. They do not have premises of their own, so rely on boarding kennels and a team...
