<personal> My silly sick horse
a year ago
upd. I’ve edited this journal to keep post about Freya.
HUGE THANKS to people who supported us by buying bases! You’re our angels <3
For the last week my horse’s condition became worse. She scratched her neck with trees until it bled and she has a lot of big horrible injuries throughout all of her neck and tail now. We suppose that it's all due to fly bites and itching. I’ve washed her with a special anti-itching shampoo, treated the wounds with meds, but the main problem still isn’t solved. And there is no exact diagnosis.
For those who are not squeamish here is the video proof (please don’t open if you’re too sensitive!).
Now I’m short in funds and I can’t take more commissions cause I already have quite a big queue and I don’t want to make the new customers to wait for so long. My bases shop is my only hope to earn money 🙏
Our plan in treatment now:
- make a scraping and send it to the laboratory to look for parasites or fungus (~ $30-40 I suppose)
- buy a mask (the cheapest option is €9.95)
- buy a special eczema rug (the cheapest one is €69.95 + €24 for the delivery)
- extra strong fly spray (~ $57)
- meds, wound spray, sweet itch lotion (~ $50)
As I counted I’ll need about 30 bases sales (using discount) to cover everything and help my silly pony 😖
We had to wear Freya a collar to herd her separately and not allow her to scratch neck. I don’t like collars at all, but for now that’s the only way to keep her attached, cause she manages to take off the halter.
I understand that I’m the only person who responsible for her health and I’m not asking for donations, I’m asking about just considering buying some bases from my shop with a discount 🥺 Sharing this post will help a lot too! I’ll delete the post as soon as I’ll be able to buy all I need for Freya.
TYVM in advance for the support!
P.S. Her mane and neck is purple cause spray from wounds is purple ^^”
FA+

I feel bad for the both of you, and guilty for not knowing what I'd do with a base. ^^;
Hang in there, and keep taking care of your adorable horse as best you can!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Keep on fighting! *hugs tightly again* I believe in you, believe in yourself also!!
