This is crazy ... i will warn you.
My mare...
some of you have read my posts with the problems she has had , and its like a puzzle that i am trying to piece together . Today I got another piece of the puzzle.
She is over weight, she has always been overweight. She is not eating very much, and now I am feeding her even less to get some weight off. 2 kilos of hay per day , and half of that is straw.
3 weeks before she was trimmed by a horrible Farrier , and all horses trimmed were very lame after for 1 week. She developed a red line in her hoof wall with an indent where the line is a day after the hoof was trimmed .... I assume this is trauma, and because it appeared the day after she was badly trimmed I assume it was the Farrier that caused this. I know by her reaction to the trimming that it was painful during the process as well. 2 weeks after the trim , the vet came out to give an annual shot, the vet said she was pregnsnt , but we said its not possible and dismissed it. then by the 3rd week she developed laminitis . She could always walk , just a little stiff, and very slow. At first it looked like it was on all 4 feet. I did everything I was suppose to do ... its been like 4 days later , and she feels a LOT better , but a GOOD Farrier comes Sat to correct the hoof, and give me a hoof plan for the future. I have a lead on a specialist in Lichenstein ( small country in austria) that can make an x-ray, and my other vet will look into meds or suppliments. Meanwhile my trainer will help me on the herbal treatment ( they are BIG into herbal remidies here) ... so I think I have everything under some form of control
THEN... i notice that her main hairs are falling out .. A LOT... so i start to think there is something else going on here, are you still with me?
This is where it gets funny,
There is a woman in town that does energy work on people , and can see where energy is blocked, then she can tell you where there is a problem in your body... She is always "spot on"... she is our own personal healer in town and she has helped many people . I have herd that she has saved a famers sheep once. So I called her and she came over , went into the stall and so on .... to make a long story short she said the horse was pregnant. ( I wont get into why she said this ) now thats 2 people with this oppinion. Her tets are normal but before the tets there is a pouch its about the size of an apercot, one bigger on one side. her belly is round and tight like a fat horse , by the end of the day it is tighter feeling , and the thickness is mostly around the rib area, and comes sort of to a point at the bottom of her belly...in other words she has the look of a pregnant mare... our stallion was gelded in Febuary 2008 ...They have always been together , even after he was gelded , but I thought we were over the possible pregnancy point ... to my knowledge she has NOT been with a stallion, however kids take her out for walks (not anymore) and last September she was in a huge field with other big horses for 2 weeks, boys were gelded . So whats going on ? is this a false pregnancy?? what do you think?
