The Very Sad Dachshund
Unfortunately, through Thanksgiving week, Oscar became very painful, and we weren’t sure what was hurting him so much. By Thursday evening he seemed to feel very poorly, and was very much not his excitable self. When he yelped a few times, I decided he… Continue Reading “The Very Sad Dachshund”
Messing around and vet check-up
After my last lesson, Amber seemed to take the “conserve all energy” way too close to heart lol. Usually she’s got a good swinging walk when we first mosey on out there for our 10 minute warm-up, but boy she was PLODDING along haha!… Continue Reading “Messing around and vet check-up”
Another check-up
Amber got another check up Tuesday. It’s meh news. Her foot doesn’t look better. Compared to our last set of x-rays, it looks worse. She doesn’t have as much sole growth, and she’s rolling to the outside of her foot and collapsing the heel… Continue Reading “Another check-up”
FINALLY some good news
Yes you read that right! We’ve got some good news! Or at least better news, but I’m going to take it. It’s been very hard for me to watch Amber being unhappy, and simply for her sanity as well as how much that RH… Continue Reading “FINALLY some good news”
Yay vet visit (not)
Not that the vet visit was bad mind you. Just that we’re seeing the vet A LOT lol. Doc was headed out to take a look at Whisper, and did a 2 week check up on Amber as well. I had grabbed a few things for… Continue Reading “Yay vet visit (not)”
X-Rays of Amber’s foot
I didn’t realize my mom had actually gotten pictures of the x-rays, so I am able to share them with you guys. Just so everyone can see, last week I posted this video of her on Insta, which was taken on July 25, only… Continue Reading “X-Rays of Amber’s foot”
A new diagnosis
It has been a whirlwind week. Over the last week or two, Whisper has been odd. I was REALLY having to remind her to get back on her hindquarters, she was a lot more unwilling to work, and she’d start biting at the air… Continue Reading “A new diagnosis”
8 week vet update
Since I got off work early yesterday, it completely worked out since the vet showed up around 1 pm. Unfortunately, it’s not the verdict we were hoping for. Not the end of the world, but certainly not where she could be. As sad as… Continue Reading “8 week vet update”
Moving Forward
Alright. Now that I’ve had a bit of a breather with Amber being home from surgery, it’s time to move forward. She’s doing just fine; I take her out of her stall to groom her and love on her, and unfortunately that’s all we… Continue Reading “Moving Forward”
Home at last
It was certainly stressful having Amber away and at the vet’s, but once I saw her Thursday I was relieved and happy that she was doing well. I couldn’t get up there to see her on Friday since I worked all of their visiting… Continue Reading “Home at last”
I am that person + Amber update
I discovered, when dropping Amber off at the vet Wednesday, that I have become THAT person. Let me explain. For most of my horsey life until a few years ago, whenever the horses stayed at the vet or were having something done, we used a disposable halter and… Continue Reading “I am that person + Amber update”
Scheduled
Guys, it’s done. It’s been scheduled. I take Amber up to the vet May 9th for her arthroscopic surgery appointment on May 10. I am a bundle of nerves lol. I wouldn’t be as nervous if she didn’t have to go under to have the procedure. She’s… Continue Reading “Scheduled”
The special one
Amber is special. In many ways. Cute, adorable ways. And not so adorable ways. Because her face just kept swelling until nearly the whole right side of her face looked like she’d been bitten by a poisonous snake. Okay, maybe not that bad, but… Continue Reading “The special one”
2017 Goals….and update
Wow. So much has happened already this year. It feels like just yesterday it was the middle of March and I was dying for Rolex to come as fast as possible. This has been a really great year for me, despite Amber’s hip and… Continue Reading “2017 Goals….and update”
Weekend Recap: the vet visit
So, I’m sorry, guys. I totally left you hanging for the weekend. Truth is since Thursday morning I’ve been going nonstop and there really has been no time for blogging, so I’m going to try to catch up with next week. As I mentioned… Continue Reading “Weekend Recap: the vet visit”
Chillin out
Which means two things – Saturday and Sunday were super chill days, and I had to chill out after Saturday lol. I think we all get there a lot – what is wrong with my horse and why won’t they tell me what’s wrong… Continue Reading “Chillin out”
The vet verdict and day 17
So first, Day 17: Your equestrian idol I’m not usually a “oh this person is my idol or inspiration” type of person – most professionals I’ve found in every field I see something I like and equally dislike about them. I think sometimes people get into… Continue Reading “The vet verdict and day 17”
Life happens
Well, it has been busy. October through February seems to be the busiest times of the year, then it dies down again until it begins to build steam around September. It’s been busy here, but more for the fact that I have work and… Continue Reading “Life happens”
And the verdict is….
She was a champ for the trailer haul and walked around calmly until the vet saw us. He did various flex testing and a bit of lunging, and he confirmed that there really wasn’t anything obvious that he could see externally. We all laughed… Continue Reading “And the verdict is….”
