PEANUT BUTTER- 12 y/o - 15h - Morgan Gelding
Post by foxie on May 4, 2006, 8:19pm
PEANUT - 12 year old, 15h, Morgan type liver chestnut gelding. He was nervous to be haltered but once we got him he was great! Curious and friendly and glad to have kind treatment. He picks up his feet automatically. Responsive in the halter, quiet on the ground easy going. He is stout, straight legged, has a nice eye, light in the halter and likes attention. He also was also looking for treats. he is almost a matched pair with Butter the horse he came in with, so couples that like to ride matching horses these two are the ones. For Adoption Only.

Hi everyone.
An update on the Jiff Boys. We got them home Monday night. Butter had picked up the crud at the feedlot, and both the guys were not sure about what was in store for them next. We had the Vet come on Tuesday to evaluate both the boys. Although a bit run down, he thought they were both in decent shape all things considered. A bit of a surprise, he aged Peanut at 20+ and Butter around 15. He thought Butter was doing a good job of recovering from the feedlot crud, but wanted him kept on antibotics to make sure Butter completly knocked it back. The shoer was out yesterday and although a tad nervous for their manicure, they were well behaved. Their feet are a good news/bad news story. The bad news is because they have not been done is so long it is going to take several trimmings to get them where they should be. The GOOD news. According to my farrier, these guys have feet to die for. Once we get the angles and shape where they should be, he thinks their feet are going to be gorgeous.
Although these guys came with a reputation of being a little shy and hard to catch--I am glad to report that they have turned into a couple of "pocket ponies." I wish we could take all the credit and brag about what great horse people we are, but truthfully, I suspect that away from the lot and given the chance to settle a bit, their real personalities are probably coming out. They are still a little gun shy around any sudden movements, but believe me.....you are mugged by both of them, the minute you enter their quarantine paddock.
Now for the not so good news. Apparently, Butter is having an reaction to something. When we went down to feed this morning, he is covered in bumps and is stiff and sore all over. We have been in contact with our vet who agrees with us that it is probably an alergic reaction. Unfortunately, because everything is new in Butter's world we don't really have a way to narrow down the culprit at this moment. On his advice, we are giving Butter some Bantimine (sp?) to make him more comfortable. Thru out the day, the Vet and us will be in contact. Of course, at this point, I am a nervous wreck, but LOL, my vet is doing his best to help me keep it in perspective.
I will keep this updated as I learn more.

Good news tonight, Butter is much better. He still is a moving a little sore, but the bumps are drastically reduced. Per the vet, we are going to keep him on the bantimine at least thru the weekend. Now job becomes one of figuring out just exactly what he had an alergic reaction too...

Hang in there........
possible allergens........fly spray.......supplements.......
? Sometimes we get horses in the barn who get allergic to shavings....and then sometimes we can't figure it out at all.......seems like a bug bite reaction.
thanks for taking good care of them.

Hi everyone.
Sorry I have not posted for a couple of days, but it's unfortunately has been very crazy here. It's not looking good for Butter. We have had a very rough weekend. Of course with allergens it's tough to say for sure, but the vet thinks we have narrowed it down to the antibotic or an allerigic reaction to his own body's protiens as he fights the infection. His allergic reaction has progressed from "hives" to sever swelling throughout his legs and all around his nasal passage. Last night his breathing was very labored as he had to force air past the swelling. There really has been no easy answer, if he is allergic to the antibotic then then pulling him off to letting him take his chances with the infection might be the best answer, on the other hand if it is his own body's defenses he is having the allergic reaction to then pulling him off the antibotics is the worse thing we can do. We decided to leave him on the antibotics and pray for the best. This morning his breathing was much improved and the swelling is reduced, but not gone thru out his body. Both us and the vet were very encouraged. In addition, his nose cleared up and his temp was almost down to normal. But tonight the rollercoaster we have been with him has taken a new downward course. He a lot of blood in his stool and for the first time throughtout this ordeal he is actually starting to act depressed. One of the things that has been our brightest ray of hope is that intil tonight, you would never know he was sick by the way he was acting. Despite being very swollen, sore and difficulty breathing, he has been a happy pony. Lots of interest in us, the world and his food. Tonight for the first time, he is "moping", like a sick horse and has a decreased appetite. The vet is coming over to switch Butter from Banamine (which may be causing ulcers because of it's heavy use to try and control his swelling, ie aid his breathing) to Carafate. The Carafate will help the ulcers and we can only cross our fingers and hope the swelling continues to reduce on it's own. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for Butter. This is too nice of a horse to lose like this.

As I posted in Butter's thread, we lost him last night. I want to let everyone know that Peanut is just fine. I would say great, since except for very minor symptoms it looks like he ducked the respirtory infection, but he is missing Butter. He spent most of the night calling for his friend and pacing the fence line. This morning however, he seems to be calming down and is calling out less often. He now spends a lot of his time, looking out our other horses, occassionally calling to them. I can't wait for his quarantine period to be up, so I can introduce him to some new friends.
In the meantime, in memory of Butter, we have changed Peanut's name to Peanut Butter.
I want to say thank you to everyone for all your support. Not just for the "Jiff Boys", but for all the horses.

Hi everyone,
Peanut Butter is continuing to do well. The poor guy is really stuck between a rock and a hard place. He despartately wants to be petted and loved on, but at the same time, everything is scary and no doubt "horse eating." I put an outdoor turnout on him the other day because of the monsoons rains we were having.....LOL at myself. My three other horses were out in the pasture getting soaked, appartenly without a care in the world, but because they have access to their stalls and while in quarantine, poor Peanut only has a couple of trees, I was stressing over him. Anyway, I decided to put a raincoat on him. A big noisey, blue horse eating raincoat. He would snort and fly back 10 feet, then immediately come back for more lovin'. Not too bad, it probably took about 20 minutes, in the pouring rain, I might add," to get him blanketed, but in the end he was wearing the blue horse eating raincoat and nuzzlying for more lovin....Of course the sun came out yesterday, and we went thru the process in reverse while taking it off. He would snort and take off with each new movement, but immedicately come trotting back for more lovin. Geez, the things a poor guy has to put up with to get a few pats on the head.
It goes without saying, that after Butter, poor Peanut cannot even twitch his tail to remove the flies without me running out and taking his temperature, but so far I am thrilled to say he is doing great. I did notice some mud fever on his back legs yesterday now that he is starting to shed. I plan on treating with Microtek. I have had a lot of success in the past with that. But here is my question. I have never had mud fever (Scratches vs Mud fevor, are they different or same thing by different names) on my property, just seen it when I was boarding my horse. What can I do to Peanut Butter's quarantine area to remove it from the soil. Luckily, he is not in mud, but I have heard that once it's in your soil, it is impossible to get rid of. Anybody have any ideas, thoughts, etc., they can share with me.
Thanks Lynn

I think scratches and mud fever are the same thing. My horses get it if they are in the mud to much in the winter time. Although not all my horses, usually just my two arab mares. They always seem to be more affected on their white hair(pink skinned) area of their legs. I use the Tea-Tree stuff to wash them up, I think any thing that is anti-microbial will work well. Then I try to keep them in for a few days. I do not think you can remove it from the soil. It is just caused by them being wet and muddy on their legs. And living in Oregon, we will always have mud!!!

Here's an update on Peanut Butter. As reported at the time, he called for Butter all through that first night, only stopping when Butter was removed from the property. Shortly after that was done, my QH/gaited mare, Josie, got as close to him as fencing would allow and spent a good 5-10 minutes nickering to him. It was very touching.
PB recovered nicely from the "lot crud," having only had a slight cough and a bit of runny nose with no temp. He seems to think we're pretty nice people and really loves petting and treats, but we sure do have some funny ideas - like blankets and fly masks!! Gentle persistence won the day on both counts. He lunges easily to the right, but he doesn't like going to the left. Again, gentle persistence and he goes along with the program.
At this time, we're waiting for his 30-day quarantine to be up so he can meet his stable mates up close and personal. Our vet suggested we start the quarantine clock ticking from the time we lost Butter.
