Bia -

I'm really sorry - that's so distressing especially for one that has
already fought back from a bad situation.  We will all send positive
thoughts your way

 THANKS EVERYONE for the positive thoughts. I would be a little more
optimistic if he was younger but... well... I am going to think
positively!!!


Thunder was 24 when he had his horrible spider bite and he came out
unscathed.  It was a miracle.

that maybe I will at least be able to get on him for an hour in the flat 
pasture for some exercize. he is a real trooper...

Cherie... I am noticing today that he is walking a bit better. he was almost 
unable to walk 2 days ago. I gave him some bute that night to ease his 
pain...The vet doesn't want me to give him any bute because he wants me to 
be able to see the improvement so so far that's the only night I've given it 
to him... The wound looks terrible but it's draining and that's what I 
want...so... hopefully enough of the muscle is left to, like you say, heal 
properly. he lost alot of it! Amazing yes, what they can do and leave no 
trace or clues of what might have happened.

Think positive, Bia!

We will all visualize that he is walking good, feels good, heals properly, 
and loves to be ridden.

Sorry to hear about your horse Bia. Hang in there--things happen w/
horses. One vet told me, "you can keep 'em in a padded stall and
they'll still find a way to hurt themselves."  Don't blame yourself.

Poor baby...the hopeful thing is, large muscle wounds, even when deep
often heal pretty well. Let's hope that happens with your gelding.

Oh Bia, what a shame for him - and for  you.  I'm sorry.

I have seen some amazing recoveries over the years.  I wouldn't write him
off just yet.

>>> He is walking but I will most likely not be able to ride him again. I
feel so bad for him because I rescued him, skin and bones. I hate for this
to happen.


Oh, Bia, I'm so sorry!  I hope he's better soon.  Do you remember the
horrible wound that our Arab had back in 2004?  When we think he was bitten
by the brown recluse?  I saw no way that he could ever be sound again - we
weren't even sure he'd make it.  But, he did make it and he's no worse for
the wear, with no lameness at all.  I hope your old guy comes out as well as
Thunder did.
