Quick history:
28 year old 16.2 mare came to me last December very underweight and not very happy in herself.
We fought long and hard, just got her back into tip top condition, she was happy and settled and then got attacked by a dog in her field.
She lost condition rapidly and the vet warned that should infection set in it would be more than likely a PTS job
However, she pulled through and has slowly started to put the weight on. She is however still underweight (540kg) and ribby. She is also miserable. The attack took place on the 1st July and it has really impacted on her physical and mental health. She used to be the head of her little herd of two, but since becoming ill has been bullied to the bottom.
I hate to see her so miserable but am at a loss as to what to do. Following the attack we decided to retire her as she now has intermitant lameness due to the tendon damage she sustained.
Any ideas?
