Fame arrived at Shiloh on 2/4/10 from the Fallon feedlot where she was saved for $150.00. She is very sweet but has an injury and/or deformity to her shoulder.
3/2/10 Fame is doing well, she is very sweet and is best friends with Marley. We will have her leg x-rayed next week on our vet day.
4/22/10 We did have Fame's shoulder x-rayed a few weeks ago. She definately had a break in her elbow area which was never set. If it had been set when it first happened, she would have had a good prognosis for healing and maybe even have been rideable later in her life. But, as it was not set, there is bone remodeling making the bones misshappen which has caused her to become crippled.
She also has epiphisitis in her affected knee, which is inflammation of the growth plates. She is now on a lower protein diet, which will help with the epiphisitis and we are going to just allow her to enjoy a good horse life at the rescue. It really is a shame as this is such a sweet little filly was crippled at such an early age...
7/10/10 We have been treating Fame for a chest wound that she got when she played aropund when the farrier was working on her and she reared up against the fence. It was a clean deep cut which we cleaned and stapled. It is healing well and she is feeling great.
9/8/10 Fame is doing very well, filling out and growing like a weed! She is still very sweet and easy to handle.
Dave is working with Fame.
Fame is getting a kiss.
2/5/11 Fame is doing really well, in fact as she matures and grows, her leg is looking more and more normal. It is possible that her young age may overcome her leg problem and when she is older she may be able to have a full and useful life. That would be wonderful for her!
