Our pony was not old, only about 12. It's a mystery why she went into renal failure. Possibilities include that she may have had only one functioning kidney all along (vet only ever found one on the ultrasound), her food may have been too rich for her system (I was feeding one of those high protein ration balancers), we may have accidentally overdosed her on banamine during her colic episode in January, we just really don't know. Renal failure is not common in horses at all. There's a big ole thread over on the forum about what we went through (Pony Update and Diary (kidney disease) - Baywind Farm Horse Forum)
I see you just signed up over there, look forward to talking more with ya and finish catching up and talking about your filly project. :~)
I’m reading through the stuff and watching Pony’s video. Did you bury her on your place? I had George buried at the same place as Tuffy, a pet cemetery.
I’ll get back over there later, I have a million things to do today. Got a kid birthday this weekend to get ready for and I haven’t bought a thing.
I just finished Pony’s video, you sure did a good job.
