Much Love At Jacqueline’s Pet Sitting

Lethal white syndrome, also called overo lethal white syndrome, lethal white overo, and overo lethal white foal syndrome, is an autosomal genetic disorder most prevalent in the American Paint Horse.

The condition is extremely painful and distressing and all affected foals die within a few days of birth. There is no treatment for the condition and foals suspected of having lethal white syndrome are usually humanely euthanized by a veterinarian.

Foal in picture was humanely euthanized at a day old.

I posted this because so many of you wanted to know what lethal white syndrome was.
Also the foal that was sick the other day was not a lethal white and was a cremelo and doing well at a rescue currently.

Responsible pet owners demonstrate exceptional compassion and dedication, mitigating the consequences of irresponsible ownership and providing a shining example for others to follow. By acknowledging the significant expenses and responsibilities associated with pet ownership, individuals can create a nurturing environment that promotes the well being and happiness of their pets.

💥Christmas Safety Alert for Pet Owners💥

A recent incident involving a 2-year-old dog highlights the dangers of rawhide and cooked bones. The dog required emergency surgery to remove a large blockage from his stomach, which was caused by consuming rawhide. Although the dog is recovering, he may need additional surgery due to intestinal damage. We strongly advise against giving pets rawhide, as it is not digestible and can cause severe internal damage. Cooked bones, including chicken and turkey bones, can also cause harm, as they can splinter and lodge in the gums. To ensure your pet's safety this Christmas, opt for pet-safe treats from reputable sources, and keep chocolate and other hazardous substances out of reach.

Others may be treasuring their last, and our compassion, generosity, and love can bring solace. While this season is a time of joy for many, it’s also a time of grief. Let’s endeavor to be messengers of hope and empathy. Have a happy & blessed thanksgiving.

My most cherished moments are those spent with my Rosie girl throughout the weekend. Pet sitting brings me immense joy. Rosie is a treasure. I am unhappy about her leaving. See you soon Rosie
