Took Malibu back up to the vet today to get a quick x-ray to make sure that the angle for the shoe is correct and also to get a quick assesment of how the healing process is doing. Here is a picture of her on the scale - not a good pic of me - but here is my girl  She measured 17.3 1/2 (nearly 18) and 1825 pounds Should know the results tomorrow.  |

If I were to wear white I would be a different color within 2 minutes of dealing with the horses. |

LOL - well, what you DONT see in this picture is the big green smoochy on the arm that is on the far side. I actually wear white alot around my kids - I can bleach the stainsout It is a well thought out plan!! Not to mention - any time I go to a veterinary hospital, I am always careful to wash/bleach the clothes I wear when I get home. I also wash my halter, blankets ect in super hot water as well. Malibu also gets a bath when we get home. It is probably over the top - but in is a HOSPITAL with contagious animals Better safe than sorry! Malibu's angles look good but was hard to see improvements - vet is suggesting another MRI...Sheehs...THOSE ARE CHEAP! NOT! Sara in WA |

Today Malibu was seen by Christine Finn - Shee did ALOT of stretching, chiropractic, injections and accupuncture on malibu. She also reviewed her xrays and gave me alot of hope! She seems to think that if we can keep malibu's muscles loose and get her fitted some - that she will be rideable!! We are re-doing some corrective shoeing on her as well! I am so excited at how much better she is already I cried!! The downer- she now has a sarcoma groing inside her ear  But - we can deal with that! Sara in Wa |

That's great news. Fingers crossed that she WILL be OK. And a sarcoid!!!!!!! piddling in the big picture. But Malibu IS so picture-perfect I know it must be hard to accept a flaw!!

I worry less about the sarcoid. We are going to try some herbal stuff that has been successful for treating the scarcoids. She is already on a variety of herbal stuff to help dialate blood vessles and help circulation into the navicular area. She is a happy girl and considering the original prognosis - Ia m THRILLED at how far she has come Sara in WA |
