I am sorry to vent, again :o. But the vet came back out to check up on Austin, and he said he wasnt getting any better. He gave me some Uniprim which is a powder that you put in their oats. He has been taking Uniprim for about 10 days. He gave me some more of that, and he also gave him 3 shots. One shot of steriods and two other shots of medication. I have to give him paste for three days, which is $21, it isnt so expensive, but if that doesnt work, they are going to give me this syrup stuff that you give them and it cost $200 :eek: I CANNOT afford that, he would have to take it for a week thats $1400. I love Austin so much, and I really hope he isnt sick. I would have to sell him, and even so, nobody is going to buy a horse, that has a disease. I am so confused right now, I dont know what to do. Please pray for Austin, so that he can go back to his normal happy self.

Here is a link to what he has:"heaves" (http://www.ivis.org/special_books/Lekeux/robinson/chapter_frm.asp?LA=1 )
