3/16 CALI AMPS [294] 3TSP 4% WHOA!
see SS - she threw up after scarfing meal last PM [3tsp 4%]. has bit of clear nasal drip probably from heater in bedroom and warm mattress pad to cold house. Happens to all of us in winter and change in temperatures.

much empathy to all my FDMB family and friends trying to balance work, family and our diabetic felines.

Cali thinks her family has been spending too much time with storms cleanup, attending horse with colic that we almost lost on 3/12 [BUT IS RECOVERING MIRACLE at his senior age of 31!]. However it takes enormous amount of time to attend for medications, special feeding, hand walking…. Fire Dancer is worth every ounce of time and care. He is not ]just a horse, he is family.
 
+4 [259] tsp 4%
JUST DETERMINED CAUSE OF HIGHER NUMBERS; I completely missed 1 shot 1.75U somehow in the chaos of power, sick horse, power outages, and herd of cats. So she should be back on track soon…. It happens :banghead::arghh:
 
+7 [146] tsp 4% :cool:
PMPS [107] 3TSP 4% :cool:
Correction from above post : turns out I did not miss a shot. The syringe DH and Fred found was an empty syringe with the back cap still on. Apparently that little blond “Dennis the menace” thought it was another toy that needed to come out of my medical supply bar! Color me relieved. :(:bookworm::mad::cat::cat::cat:​
 
“This is getting ridiculous “ the feral queen growls. “Fred knows that is my testing bed and NO other cat should even look at it or even be In The same room as me and my stuff and my people!”

Wow! What is the usual lifespan of horses?

Watch for some action tonight! :-)

I hope you mean “action” as in lower #s with Cali. It is too cold to spend another night in the barn with the horse. Besides DH hogged the hay bale we were sitting on. Although EHIS ‘each horse is different’, broad generalization life span 15-24 years my experience. Daily Previcox and monthly Pentason injections are his joint friends.

Incidentally, the Cartrophen-equivalent brand in India is called Pentorse and it is used for horses, dogs and cats. Not sure it's the same as Pentason, but the drug is pentosan polysulfate sodium!

Yes, the same drug. It just takes us longer in the USA for approval of drugs! I read now that Meloxicam can be prescribed to felines in the USA off label.

Silver lining: when our large animal equine veterinarian who we’ve known for 23 years and I volunteer with in our horseman’s club came to attend Fire Dancer, I requested personal favor and he agreed to write RX for Cali for the meloxicam. Walmart fulfills for $23. Talk about a parlayed veterinarian event. Our veterinarian first met Cali at 3 months when we brought her home from Mexico.

We haven’t seen the bill yet for his emergency services [he traveled 1 hour to our home Sunday evening]. This hero saved our horse’s life as Fire Dancer’s gastrointestinal system had completely shut down. He pumped his stomach and administered numerous drugs for hours.
