I'm fixing to go to the stables. I am so aggravated. Sarah Lee is sick now. A 3 y/o glands ruptured today. My vet was supposed to go out there and see her and immunize Okie. I told them to call me and give me a 15 minute headstart. I called again at 3:30. He was running late. I reminded them to call me. I called back at 4:30. He had came and gone. I have a bill but no one knows what the diagnosis is. Know one knows if Okie got his shots but he got popped with antibiotics. I asked why. I was told preventative. I asked why, since he had already had it. I was told he was concerned about a relapse after looking at him. A relapse of what? Anyway, I'll talk to the vet tomorrow but I called the owner. She told me she told the vet not to call me when he showed up because I said I wasn't coming out. What I said was please have the horses per the vets request out of the pasture because I have to go back to work and can't go out in the pasture and get mucked up. He didn't tell her what was wrong either, evidently. She thinks it's strangles but told me you heard the house vet say no. Poor woman. She is worried sick, esp about her babies. She said it will kill them. I guess I should be counting my blessings that Okie recovered and Sarah Lee doesn't have such a bad case but...We know it's not Rino now though caz she was definately vac for it. Sorry about the rant. Just had to vent about playing who's on first all day:').

It is understandable that you are upset at how that played out. I'd be mad that I wasn't there.

I hope both of yours are OK.... Strangles, if that is what it is, will now recurr at her barn for ~years~, once it's there. It will affect her business, and who will want to board there, for a long time. I know the boarding stable here that had strangles go through it is really hurting for new business. I didn't take mine there because of it.
