Sweet Belle has been with us a little over 2 weeks. She’s had her feet done, seen the vet and is putting on weight beautifully.
She has some swelling in her mouth due to a molar eruption and the vet is a little concerned about crowding in her mouth but wants to give it time to see if they will spread as she continues to get adult teeth. We also found out that she has some scarring in her mouth from someone being too harsh with a bit 😕
The vet will be out again in the next week to administer her booster vaccines as she had a low grade fever when they saw her the first time (it was also so hot that day 🥵) so we want to be sure she doesn’t have anything brewing before giving her vaccines. Her temp has been checked daily and has been within normal limits since then but with fragile little bodies you can never be too safe!
If you’d like to help with Belle’s intake costs, we’d greatly appreciate it! (Donations can be made through one of the links below! 👇🏻) She is on a shorter rotation for her feet (which means more 💸) so the farrier can correct her angles and get her feet healthy. As you can see from her before and after pictures her feet were pancakes with no heel and long toes but Liz Brewer LLC worked her magic as always!
In her previous life, someone definitely had a heavy hand with her. I have a feeling she’s going to be like Mocha and love people and being around them but have some trauma around training. We of course will take it slow and do what’s best for her but right now she just gets to be a horse, enjoy her new surroundings and the tiny human who loves to give her treats and attention. 💜
