[RC] Sluggish horse, part II - Claire NystromI had the vet out to look at my mare and we ran some simple thyroid tests and a Lyme test. I should be getting the results back by tomorrow, but the vet thinks that some thyroid medicine will help. She also has breathing problems, and in the 2 years that she's had them (she's only 9), vets in different areas think that they are due to allergies. My vet recommended that I do allergy testing and shots since she's still young. Has anyone had experience with this with a horse they did endurance on? And what about the cost? My main goal at this point is to be able to finish a 25 mile ride. I've long since given up on doing a further distance with her. Thanks, Carol -- Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming- WOW- what a ride!! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
