| EVIE 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. |




| 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 |



| August 19,2007 after two weeks of no problems and a weight gain of 18 pounds Evie became ill, after two days of treatment to try to relieve her pain there was no change and it did not work. The Dr believed she had a blockage in the front section of her intestines, he stated it could be impacted from all the sand she had consumed before coming to us or a tumor. Because of her age and health condition it was decide she would not make it through surgery. She was peacefully put to sleep by the veterinarian. |
