Kismet is my 18 year old heart horse. Last month, her health began to take a turn. We began treating what we thought was an abscess in her hoof but with no improvement. We have had a farrier out multiple times to try to alleviate the pain and adjust the angle of her hoof. Unfortunately, this past week she seems to have taken a turn for the worse. She is wobbly in her legs, stiff, does not want to move, and attempting to keep weight off her foot.
I have had the nearest equine veterinarian out multiple times now to try to assess the situation and help her. We can not seem to pinpoint what IS the issue.
I am attempting this because I need help paying for her medical bills. The first vet visit was $130 and they returned a week later to take x-rays, which was a $420 visit. They visited again (4/30/2021) to check on the new symptoms of her wobbly legs and still at a standstill on a diagnosis. We are going to try doing blood work and a chiropractor. She is scheduled to be seen by a different vet that specializes in equine (5/5/2021) for their possible prognosis. I need the funds as quickly as I can get them so I do not get too far behind in her medical bills. I am currently unpaid for the $420 bill and have not received the others in the mail.
I rescued Kismet at a equine auction in 2015 and we quickly became attached. Kismet is my heart horse and she means so much to me. I would really appreciate any help that I can get. I have many more rescues that I care for daily at my own expense, and this came upon us so suddenly. I am terrified to lose her and seeing her in pain breaks my heart. I will add photos of vet bills as proof.
Thank you so much if you choose to help and donate -- I will be sure to pay the kindness forward in the future.
