Everything was "OK" except her red blood cell count was a little low. My vet and I talked about redoing the panel in 6 months. Hopefully by then I would have realized my failure to put weight on her and would have asked my vet's opinion. I know you have to be consistant about the extra feed (beet pulp and oil) if you are going to put weight on a horse, so I thought it was because I was a flake that she never could keep weight. But, in the last 3 months I was VERY consistant and should have been able to at least put 1 BC on her (which would have moved her from a 4 to a 5) so I would have started diaglog with the vet to see if there was anything we could have missed.<BR/><BR/>It's funny - I don't have a problem shelling out for prevantative stuff and diagnostics, but when it comes to emergency care/surgery, that's when I start stepping back. Not sure what the difference is. I guess in an emergency situation I'm afriad that once I start spending lots of money to try and save an animal, I won't know where to draw the line.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-32801997773340452862009-04-09T15:30:00.000-07:002009-04-09T15:30:00.000-07:00Very interesting.
