| August 2007 we picked up Evie a 20 year old Thoroughbred. She had been left in a field to starve with nothing but weeds and a little grass. She is a one (one being the worst possible) on the Henneke Body Scoring chart with no fat tissue, bony extremely emaciated. When found she was so dehydrated her manure was dry and crumbly if not for a concerned person she would have died in the field. She is covered with a severe case of Rain Rot to the point of her back legs are swollen. Her feet are in awful condition with growth and cracks stretching almost the length of the hooves. |
| August 19,2007 after two weeks of no problems and a weight gain of thirty pounds Evie became ill, after two days of treatment to try to relieve her pain there was no change and it did not work. She was peacefully put to sleep by the veterinarian. She was a sweet girl and will be missed. |
| 8/8/2007 Dr. Roberts of Central Florida Equine Hospital came today to work on Eve's teeth and give her vaccinations. After examining her teeth she said the teeth were nothing but points and valleys, her whole mouth was in horrible condition. Evie was given Anesthesia and her teeth were floated the Dr.said Evie would need her teeth floated again in six months. Dr Roberts examined her back legs and determined the swelling is from a severe case of Rain Rot which is also covering most of her upper body. We have to give her baths with anitfungal shampoo and apply the Privasan Steroid Ointment each day. Blood was drawn for her Coggins test and she received her Encephalite/Tetanus inject. Dr. Roberts left the other vaccinations with me to give to her in a week or two, we didn't want to over load her system with all of the vaccination at once. The Doctor agreed Evie is from 200 to 300 pounds under weight and it will be a slow process for her to regain the weight. Total charges for today were $332.00 The break down of todays veterinarian cost is: Farm Call $50.00 - Anesthesia $40.00 - Teeth Floating $80.00 - Vaccinations Encephalitis/Tetanus $20.00, Influenza/Rhino $17.00, West Nile Virus $25.00, Rabies $20.00 - Coggins $30.00 - Privasan Steroid Ointment $50.00 |

He is a 1 on the scoring chart and is over 200 pounds underweight. The farrier found Thrush in all 4 hooves and he has
Rainrot along his back and rump. Any Donation for Poco will be greatly appreciated. His rehabilitation will be slow and
take many months, when the vet comes it will be over $400 with the blood work,vaccinations,coggins. A bag of Seminole
Senior is $16.95 and a bag of alfalfa pellets is $18 he will go through 1 of each of these a week, hay is $6.75 a bale.
Because he is so bony he needs stall shaving to lay on in his stall, they are $5.50 a bag and you have to put at least
three bags in to make it soft, when you clean the stall you loss some so you have to replace them. Iodine shampoo for
the rainrot and Iodine for his feet, wormers, one now and then one each 6 weeks they run about $8 each, the hooves
trimming is every 4 to 6 weeks at $25, just some of the things, it will take many months to get him built back up.

5/25/2009 Poco's red blood cell count is off and he has
anemia the count is 5 when it should be between a 7-9, we
had to put him on Red Cell an Iron supplement which cost
$36 a bottle. Being starved and not receiving the Iron and
minerals in the food can cause Anemia, the body can not
replace the Iron as fast as it is used when there is no food or
minerals containing Iron coming into the body. Dr Roberts
floated his teeth today and she stated they are some of the
worst teeth she has seen, they look like they have never
been done before. As you can see in the picture there are
long very sharp points deep valleys and sever waves, none
of the surfaces match up. You can also see on the left
cheek where the sharp points have been cutting into the
side of the mouth. The vet bill for vaccinations,coggins,
floating was $413 today. The rest of the blood work will be
done Friday.
5/28/2009 Poco has gained a total of 45 pounds in the one
month we have had him.
6/ 17/09 Poco has now gained 75 pounds in 7 weeks, right
on goal time, slow but steady.
6/25/09 Poco is on his 8th week and has now gained 81
pounds (picture to the left)
