Thank you all for your concern!
The vet called back and says that it is indeed a persistent infection and not lymphoma! Yesterday I was crying my eyes out thinking I would have to have her put down buit now it seems she has a chance. She is running a low fever of 101. I am giving her 30 cc's of doxycyclin twice a day. Luckily I can just squirt it in her mouth.
So, hopes are up. The white mare's cuts are not bad. Thanks, all.
That's such good news... happy to hear that! Hope now that the infection clears.
I tell ya, a lesser temper would have shot my two mares tonight at feeding time just for being unbearably stupid.
Wow Barb, that's great! An infection we can handle. Thank God for small favors. :o)
