This cannot be happening....
OMG this summer has been a reck. Everything seems to be going wrong for me!!! I have had to have that awful surgery. And yesterday I had the vet come out and check on Austin, because he has been having trouble breathing. The vet came yesterday, bless them for coming so soon. The vet told me he had heaves otherwise known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is a disease that is sort of like asma in people. He said that he can breath in fine, but he has trouble breathing out. I had a horse, before him, that I bought, and it had heaves, and they didnt tell us. So I had to sell it back, becasue you cant show a horse with heaves. So, if the medication they gave me for Austin doesnt work, this will just keep getting worse, and I cant ride him, and show him. :( They get the disease from being locked in a stall alot or eatting dusty hay. BUT Austin is NEVER in a stall, and we wet all the hay that we give the horses, so all the dust goes away. I was almost crying when the doctor told me he had heaves. I cant believe it, now I will probably have to sell him if this doesnt work, and Austin is like my best friend, and I really dont want to sell him, but I cant afford to keep him if I cant show him. :( It is so sad, and I am split down the middle. I hope he gets better.
Edit:: here is a link to a website about "heaves"Heaves
Also, my best friend told me last night that my boyfriend may be taken away from his mom, along with his sisters. I dont know if this is true or not, and she said not to confront him with it, so I am jsut waiting for him to tell me. I hope it isnt true, I have been going out with him for about a 1 yr, and 3 months, we are very very close, and he is my bestfriend I pray that he doesnt get taken away, or split up from his sisters. I dont know how this is even possible, him and his sisters, have like the best mom anyone could ask for.
Sorry to vent everyone, I just had to get some of this out of my system...
