Dino after Operation
- From: debbik
-
Description:Dino was taken in by Ride and Rescue Trust in 1993; he had extreme behavioural problems to the point his owners would have had him put down had we not taken him. Only three of our volunteers were allowed near him; he was given the time and space over a year to relax and to rebuild his relationship with humans which is when Rosemary stepped in and offered him a permanent home to be cared for by her and her family ...Dino has been with Rosemary and her family for the last fifteen years. Rosemary has asked if Ride and Rescue can help ...."Our lovely Dino has had some problems since April with his right eye, starting off with an ulcer that wouldn't heal and then a lump in his eye. Our Vet was brilliant and tried lots of things to heal his eye but nothing worked and we felt he had been through a lot during this time so in August we all decided it would be better for Dino if the vet removed the eye. Bless him, he was so good during the operation which they did under local anaesthetic at their hospital and we collected him the same day and brought him home. He was so happy to see us and come home. He is doing very well and has adapted and seems a lot happier now the source of pain and discomfort has been removed.Although the Vet's invoice is hefty, we wanted to do our best for him to save his eye as his quality of life is still very good. He still thinks he's a teenager at times, playing with his new foal friend. We have him insured but as he is veteran they only pay out for injury or accident, which the vet claimed was the initial cause of the ulcer, but the insurance only paid out £2000 and the invoices amount to over £5000. Of course we will find the money to pay the difference and I have agreed to do an extra day at work for a few months. Whatever it takes, Dino comes first even if we live on beans on toast!!Dino had a cushing's test done while he was being treated for his eye as they suspected he may have it as he has some early signs and thought it might be making the healing process take longer. He has it and is now on medication but only a quarter of a pill so that's not too expensive and already his coat is looking better. He also had a bad tummy and not well 3 weeks ago, again vet came etc and found he had a bacterial bug which he most probably picked up because his immune system is low due to all that's happened to him recently. Poor Dino, his tum is much better now as he then had more antibiotics, pain killers and a lovely tube of pro-biotic paste to improve his gut - yummy. Then when the vet came for that he checked his scar on his eye and found a small hole that hadn't healed properly as the skin had healed back on itself and not together so he then had to do little operation to trim the skin and put 3 more stitches in it and of course more antibiotics, etc. We feel really bad for him that he's gone through so much but now we're thinking it was just a blip and he's much improved now. I suppose during the 15 years we've had him, he's not had much wrong with him - he's very spoilt and has had the best of everything as you can imagine. Everyone at the stables love him too and spoil him. He hasn't lost his charm either as the mares still whinny after him but we think its because they think he's winking at them!Dino had his 3 stitches out yesterday from his recent operation on his eye lid to close the hole. He was very brave and seems very happy. He occasionally jumps when he suddenly sees something he's not expecting, or sometimes brushes against something but he is coping very well. Hopefully he will lots more years left in him."Unfortunately Ride and Rescue Trust just don't have anywhere near that amount to help Rosemary and we wondered if any readers of Voices for Horses who fundraise would consider making a donation to Dino's Fund or knows someone who does who might be prepared to. Homes for dysfunctional equines are few and far between and Rosemary and her family have more than proved Dino is a success story and they deserve our support; we hope that you will support us.Thank you for reading Dino's story ............

As you can see, there is still a long way to go to raise the outstanding veterinary bill. Dino was taken in by Ride and Rescue Trust in 1993 and has been cared for by Rosemary and her family since 1994.If there are any Voices for Horses readers that fund raise; please would you consider making a donation to Dino's Fund - every penny helps and we are a Registered Charity. Please feel free to contact me, Debbie, on rideandrescue@aol.com if you have any questions or would like to see further photos. Dino is recovering very well indeed and totally deserved the chance to have back his quality of life - sometimes things cost a little more than we anticipate; Rosemary has asked Ride and Rescue to help financially ... can anyone help us ??
