Toby's my baby

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.
