Yesterday we took our 26 year old cockatoo to the vet. She has a little cold. Nothing too extreme.

Today it's my moms 25 year old mare. My cousin that fed the horses today called my mom at work and said her horse Moon was down and they were having trouble getting her up. She was aslo drooling a lot and had a runny nose.
She called out vet and they can't see her untill tomorrow.
We know Moon needs her teeth done and we are hoping that is all it is.

It has just been one thing after another for us. Lost our house, can't find a big enough house for all of us so we have to move in with my grandma, my moms is the only one working and her boss is trying to get her to quit, and now this. *sigh* I just wish something good would happen to us... and soon. We can't take much more of this. The stress is horrible.

Sorry for the rant I just needed to tell someone. I don't really have any friends that I can talk to...

Thanks for reading. *offers cookies*

To quote Annie: The sun will come out, tomorrow.

There is always up and downs but you will be stronger for it. Sorry for your one after another day. Here if you need to rant more.

Hug.

*snugs and nibbles a cookie* I'm sorry life is making you and your fam its punching bag right now. I've been through a similar period and it can be hard seeing and light at the end of the tunnel. We're definitely here if you need to vent, though.

*Hugs*

I'm so sorry for the issues. You will get through it, so will your family. Things will fall into place and opportunity will arrive. Dont give up. Make the best and keep positive, its contageous. I am here if you need to rant more *hugs again*

With your mare drooling and having a snotty nose it sounds like choke to me. Most horses don't drool unless they are choking. It could be stemmy grass is caught in there and she is having trouble breathing. I hope your vet gets out to you soon. <3

Got her in tonight to see the vet. It was just her teeth. She is missing a tooth on the bottom and the top tooth had grown down into the space causing her jaw to lock and she wasn't able to chew.

The vet thought it was choke so that is the first thing he checked and it wasn't that. Thank goodness.
Her teeth are fine now. Really nice vet too. He wasn't our normal vet. Our normal vet said he couldn't see her because he was too busy.
He didn't charge us for an after hours visit, which saved us a little bit of money.

He told us she will be fine. That is good news for us. Now just to get her on some old lady food and will be good.

I'm glad to hear that Moon is going to be all right, at least! And hopefully it's a sign of good things finally coming to you and your family, too! Because that is a pretty terrible list of things to have to deal with all at once- I can definitely understand you needing to talk to somebody about it. *hugs, and takes a cookie* Best of luck with everything!

I'm glad to hear that your mare will be ok! I'm sorry I didn't say much about it... I'm not too knowledgeable with large animals like that 8I *Hugs* I hope things are better today! Chin up, things will be better! <3333 Good thing you saved some money too! Thats always good. Very kind of them.

Keep us updated on your health and your mare. <333 Glad there will be recovery!

Having a horse lie down and act that way is terrifying, I've had a few scares with ours as well. :C I'm so sorry to hear about all your stress dear! *hugs*

I'm so sorry life's given you such a mess, ElvenArcher!

At least the mare's alright, and I hope things continue to improve! All the rest is still a tough place to be. >.<

We're here for you. <3

Phew, that's a lot on your plate D: I'm glad to hear your cockatoo and mare are doing okay, though, that does sound pretty scary. Sending lots of good thoughts your way and I really hope things turn around for all of you soon <3

More good news today. Moon is doing fine. She seems to be in much better spirits than she has been lately. We are really glad it was just her teeth and not something too serious.
The vet and my mom both said she probably had a hard time getting up because she wasn't getting enough nutrition.


Thank you all for the good thoughts and thanks for talking to me

Glad things are getting better for you, Elven. I have definitely had some of those days, so I know exactly how that feels.

YAY!!!! -wiggles- I'm so glad <3333 She will be right as rain in no time!

Well I was hoping to update this with goods news but I don't have much of it.

Moon was doing great, but today she fell in a well(not a deep one) that is in the pasture where she is at. She was standing on it and normally that is fine, but we have had a lot of rain the past two weeks and it weakened the cover of the well. My uncle was over there when she fell through the cover. He called my other uncle and together, with a tractor got her pulled out. She didn't want to get up at first but she did. Her legs are cut up and she has a cut above her eye. The vet came as soon as he could and bandaged her up. He said she didn't cut any of the tendons and the cuts aren't to the joints. He said she will be fine. She needs another shot of antibiotics on Monday and her bandages need to be changed every 4 days, but she will be fine.

*sigh* It's bad that it happened but Moon was very lucky.

Her and her daughter (they have never been apart for more than a few hours) will be staying in our backyard for a few days. We don't live somewhere where we can have horses but the vet said, if we get in trouble with the city just give them his number and tell them doctors orders.

I am thankful it wasn't worse than it was.

Poor thing! D: If we were closer, Moon and her daughter could come live on our pastures, safe with lots of room and yummy grass! Hopefully the city doesn't' give you grief about it.

She made it through the rainy night.
There isn't a barn where she is but she is used to being out in the rain. We gave her some straw to lay on if she wants to. Not sure she will. Her legs hurt too much to get down then up again. She will be in our backyard in a couple hours. My cousin has the trailer till later

@seren

That would be awesome! Haha . She has a couple more weeks where she is at then she is moving with us and will be permanently in the backyard.

Oh my goodness, poor Moon D: But I'm glad to hear that she'll be okay! Sheesh, you guys really need some good luck over there, I would send some if I could D:

It was a pretty scary situation. She fell back-end first thank goodness or she would have drowned before they got her out.

She is doing better today, other than she is wet. It has been raining all day. They aren't home with us yet. My mom was worried Moon would slip in the trailer. Her legs are sore and a little bit weak still.
Hopefully after a day of eating good hay she will be strong enough to take a trailer ride.

Thanks for all of the good thoughts I appreciate you guys for letting me vent. If I am bothering anyone please let me know... I would hate to be a bother.

Aw man, I'm sorry things have been rough lately. I definitely hear you - Sometimes it feels like when it rains it pours.

I hope Moon makes a full recovery and that things get better all around!

Sending all kinds of good thoughts and feelings your way! You can always vent to me if you like. I'm not a gabby gab and Will always keep to you and me. ^_^ Some say I should have been a psychologist cause i help when i can and give good advice and always keep to me and them. LOL meh just try to be a good friend and helper if able. ^_^ HUGGLES to you and fam!

Moon is doing great! She is walking ok, with only a little stiffness and limping.

YAY!!! GO moon!!! *hugs*

Well after reading though all that I just have to say I'm glad Moon is doing better! Life really likes to through us for a loop sometimes!

I'm glad to hear Moon is doing better too! That poor mare, eash. >.<
