Re: moon blindness
This message is from: "Warren Stockwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hope, I am a Ophthalmic tech. and I work with people eyes I will look at my books and see if I can find something that can be adjusted for the equine. Generally uveitis is very painful and is hard to get rid of and often is recurrent. It often comes from trauma or ocular surgery (people). it is a inflammation within the eyeball. this can be but not always a chronic issue. It is very possible or even likely that he was in pain at the parade. The atropine is for the muscle that controls the dilation and constriction of the pupil which causes most of the pain involved in uveitis, the other is for the inflammation and infection. should work rather well but always be on the look out for this is crops up at the most inconvenient times. Let me know how your doing and I will do some research. In the meantime you might look at the human sites just pop uveitis in your web search and you should get a bunch of intrusting reading. Best of luck.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2002 #281
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks to everyone for their kind remarks on and off list about Saethersblakken. He continues to charm everyone here. Pjoska can barely take her eyes off him. And yes Peg, Tinkertoy is also fascinated by him. It is very interesting to watch their interactions when we lead the girls by his stall. To the adults he is very full of himself and makes plenty of editorial comment, but when little Tink comes to stare at him he is very gentle and speaks very softly to her.. I guess like everyone else, he acknowledges there is nothing as cute as a Fjord baby. So many people have mentioned they are looking forward to his picture in the next Herald, I feel I must explain a bit. Under a time crunch to get the picture in, we drove 23 hours home, put Blakken in the round pen for a romp and waited for the photographer, who was due momentarily. I ran in the house to change clothes and came back to find Blakken completely covered in mud. Head to toe. We had a dusting of snow and he managed to make a lovely snow-sand-dirt soup to roll in. I politely, of course, asked Carl why he had allowed Blakken to do this knowing the photographer was on her way and he said "Well, he was having such a good time, I just didn't want to make him stop." Sooowe scraped as much mud off as we could, took many beautiful pictures of him, which all include a good deal of Nebraskaland on him. We selected a head shot for the magazine, which included the least amount of mud, but if you look closely you will see it on his shoulder. To make a long story short, that is why there is only a head shot of Blakken in the ad, the photographer is coming again next week to try again on a mudless day. Next Herald we will have body shots of him, and trust me, his body is darn handsome. The web-site will be up soon. I will let everyone know when it happens. Thanks again for all your kind remarks.

Re: moon blindness
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I do not know about uveitis websites, but can give you a teensy bit of insight into what unveitis must feel like from the horse's perspective. I have a girl friend who gets it regularly. She says she first starts feeling little twinges of pain in her eye. At first very small...though she is now acutely aware of them at the earliest stages. Eventually, if she does not stop the "attack" right away, it becomes quite painful and causes serious light sensitivity. She finds headlights driving at night very difficult when she has a full blown episode. I have seen her actually shy away from a bright light. Her treatment regimen consists of eye drops every 15 minutes (when the episode is at its worst), with frequency diminishing as things improve. The good news is that she appears to have little eye damage, even after having this condition for several years. The other thing that might help...she thinks the attacks may be provoked by stress...especially the stress caused by an immune system reaction that is activated by wheat products. She is allergic to wheateven in tiny amounts as in a bit of vinegar made from grain. I know this sounds a bit loopy, but I do believe it is real. She is a hospital microbiology techand understands the scientific method for determining cause and effect. Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Fjords and Jacks!!
This message is from: ceacy henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello again! Wow, two letters in two days! I just wanted to say that Ceacy is safely home with 5 of the most sweetest pups! I left to go to the airport and decided to leave Maggie, who I thought was doing a little heavy breathing, in her crate at the farm. She was fine when I finally went to bed at 3am and started the heavy breathing again, I dozed off and at about 5 am heard alittle squeak! Two little brown headed girls! Now there are 3! One little black spotted boy! So , I will stay here a bit longerand then head home All of the fjords here are still out digging thru the snow to get at the grass below! They have free choice hay, very nice first cut,,but it still doesn't measure up to "grass"! in a fjords mind! To Sue and her friend, with the horse that got a deep cut...our prayers are with her! We too have seen some miraculous recoveries in horses that were impaled in the chest, one was running across the field and a two to three foot stick got kicked up as he ran and it went into his stomach, from the underside! That took a long time to heal from the inside out, but it finally did! It has stopped snowing and everything looks beautiful! Have a good day all! Sue g. in Northfield, MA
Decorating Barns
This message is from: "Salt Lick Stables" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yesterday I was in the kitchen looking confusedly for a mixing bowl...there was not a single one in the entire house... when my young son popped in through the kitchen door, all cheery faced. He insisted I go to the barn to see his decorating. On every flat surface sat all my bowls ... containing holly sprigs. My son danced about innocently singing, "Deck the Halls with Bowls of Holly. ." I still can't stop grinning.
Traviate Deep Wound

Wound Salve ,to start with for a week or so, [it has tea tree oil in it] then go to Wound Balm, until it is healed. I have been using these products for over five years, and have had good results. I also use them on myself, tea-tree oil is very good for burns, and to prevent infection. You can go to www.dynamiteonline.com to learn more about it. Or, email me.
