It's been a pretty blissful month at Blue Nile Farm. Blue gained strength and weight following the levamisole treatment, and began enjoying his summer days dozing in his stall and the warm nights outside with his herd. Lots of treats, lots of love, lots of flyspray.
But then...
We noticed Blue was standing sideways at the hay feeder again. And that right hind leg was kicked out again. And maybe he's more tilted than he was just a week ago.
My heart sank into my stomach and I felt sick. There is only one reason for all of this, and it's neurological.
My vet gave me some Dex shots and I'm simply beside myself. I always knew relapse was possible, but I did not know it was possible within a little more than a month of end of treatment.
