Suzi, when I learned about her I had no idea what her condition was. I posted here for advice and Gini told me, "Just go get her and we'll help you" (because I knewthat I could house her and feed her but I didn't have the money for farrier and vet)...that gave me the courage to simply ask the man if I could have her. He said yes, and I went with a friend to get her. We had to pick her up and move her feet to get her to the gate.....once she saw the trailer it was easier and she actually tried to walk (but it was impossible - she tried though)...
This story and You Tube video were very touching. My late Liberty was a rescue and died in front of me after contracting anterior enteritis...she hung on for four days until I returned home from a family vacation so she could say "thank you" to me personally and it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. I had told the veterinarian to put her to sleep but she felt Libby was rallying when in fact, she had one last thing in her mind to do - to whinny to me and put her muzzle on my shoulder, for real.
