Have had a few pms asking what's going on with Gem and wondering why I haven't done an update recently,

. Sorry about that.

There isn't all that much to say tbh. Since she left the vets and was put on stronger steroids, I have upped her feed content and she is now on 4 feeds a day instead of 3. She is in at night as well (she hadn't been previously because of the concerns about her breathing, but the steroids she is on should prevent anything terrible happening in that department.)

She is still losing weight, and now isn't even interested in her feed or haylage which she used to happily wolf down. I spoke to one of the vets that looked after her while she was in the RVC. She said that the steroids should be having an effect by now and she most definitley should not be losing weight and the fact that she is strongly indicates cancer. My main vet is on holiday at the moment but gets back on Monday, so I will ring her to come out ASAP.

Still trying to hold onto the fact it may be something other than cancer... however bleak it looks at the moment...
 
I just don't know what to say, I'm so sorry

(((((((Bigs Hugs))))))))

Thank you for updating us I was actually thinking today that we hadn't heard anything and was going to PM you later.
 
I don't post much but i've been following your posts on Gem, i'm so sorry to hear things still aren't picking up for her. Wishing you all the luck in the world and have got everything thing crossed for you *massive hugs* xxx
 
I have been thinking of you as well, in the light of your recent posts and the rather worrying updates.

You have to be strong for her and prepare yourself in case she doesn't respond to the treatment.

You have all of us behind you, wishing you well, but here at the ready should you need us.

Chin up x
 
I am praying for her D

I really hope she picks up; she is a beloved girl with the kindest and best owner any horse could wish for.
You are doing everything you can and thats all we can ever do.

Please keep updating us hon xx
 
Thankyou all, I know a few have been worried about me since my last post in SB. But I am coping...
Thank you all again, I will let you know what happens when I know.
 
Another one who wanted to PM, but I didn't want to intrude since you don't know me
