@hoovesofhopesanctuary: So yesterday was a tough day for us and we are still waiting on news for our Lily. We all know she has an auto immune disease called Pemphigus Foliation which can flare up. And yesterday we saw during feeding that her eye was swollen shut so we rushed her to the vet. We live in fear of relapses for her as it means strong steroids to manage her condition and stall rest for a long time until the condition settles. And none of us want that for her. This video was taken the night before her eye swelled up and she was fine and doing well. The vet at the moment thinks it might just be an allergic reaction or insect bite and we are praying that’s right. It’s a complicated disease to manage and last year we did so well not having a relapse. The issue is that each time she has one she needs stronger steroids to kick it down until eventually they don’t work any longer. And that would be a tragedy. “Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) in horses is a rare, autoimmune skin disease where the horse’s immune system attacks healthy skin cells. This leads to characteristic lesions like blisters, crusts, and hair loss, often starting on the face and legs. Treatment typically involves long-term immunosuppressant medication, including steroids, to manage the disease and prevent complications.” So we wait and hope that this isn’t a flare up and it was so good to see beautiful Blue Moon making friends with Dollar and Dakoda by her side as ever. I shall keep you posted when I hear from the vet today. Fingers crossed we hear good news ❤️ #HorsePlus #HorseRescue #HorseShelter #ADOPTED #Besties #DynamicDuo #HorseStory #SuccessStory #EndBigLick #JusticeForTWH #BreakTheSilence #BigLick #Share #EndAnimalcruelty #EndAnimalAbuse
