Two Months Ago, I considered euthansia!!!

I look at Scarlett now and think that I actually considered euthanizing her.

I brought her home and heard of all her medical issues, I didn’t want her to suffer anymore.

I didn't consider it for very long, although I am sure some people thought I was crazy to try and save a horse so far gone.

Well, Scarlett certainly is not suffering now.

The change in her is so dramatic.

The underlying health problems were not the reason for her emaciation; they were a direct result of her emaciation.

She was simply starved.

She eats her grain just fine, she eats her hay without problem and she grazes with joy.

She still needs to have the caslicks procedure done and she needs her teeth floated, and those things will be done in the coming months.

The great news is that the heart murmur , although still there, is now barely detectable.

I know you are all waiting for pictures,

Scarlett on April 10, 2008, just two months after coming home.
