My little rescue pony, Mickey, had blood work done on Monday and I've been nervous all week waiting to hear the results. When the vet's number came up on the caller I.D. this afternoon my stomach dropped. But, lucky us, it was all GREAT news! Everything came back good (liver, kidney function, etc.) the vet was even pleasantly surprised that he's not even anemic.
We're so relieved, but almost equally annoyed, because this means that no underlying medical condition lead to his emaciated state- he was just plain not fed. Still, it makes his recovery a whole lot less complicated and his future a whole lot more promising! I can't ask for anything more than that!
