nope :) She is recovered completely now - shiny and much more sound though I still saw a hint of it in the last video. Fungus gone - coat clean and shiny. Still too skinny but gaining little by little. Someone left a nasty comment on that video that I should be trying to work with her at all but she needs to get stronger - her topline and in general her back need to improve. I can't wait to see her in six months or even a year. She gets better every day. It was said that she should just have been "put down" when I took her on. I am glad I was able to intervene and am sure no one would say such even today.

I use carrots too but the wrapper of the peppermint becomes the "trigger" once they get a few of them and that becomes such a handy tool on my belt. :)

@@cameloteq The wrapper, without the peppermint? Ok. Have you considered a kind of clicker - as for dogs. I do not know if that would work on horses but on the other hand I have no idea why it would not.

The "Queen" of Camelot might not want to relinquish the title :) But I agree that she is very special. She is a purebred with a fine pedigree. I have a gelding much younger who looks like she could have been his mommy. So pretty and sweet! Check out the video of the day she arrived in Camelot about a month ago. Thanks for watching <3

@@cameloteq Ok, I just found your channel. I'll check your kind link later, since it is like 1am where I live. So you have already international audience. Love to see you in the future, and her.

Thanks for watching!

I cleaned her hooves - I will have my farrier out on Tuesday to take a look and the vet first week in Dec.

I am using liposomal vitamin C at high doses. I was told that antibiotics and standard vet protocol did not work for her and that it is "known" that these infections often do not ever go away and that horses can continue to live good lives inspite of that. But, I KNEW that high dose C would help her. So far nothing but good and no new white puss. We are continuing on with 12G of lipo C for at least a total of 10 days and - if it continues to be good - I will taper that off and down to 3G a day - which I give to all of my horses. Horses DO make their own C but high dose C can be such a miracle when it comes to infections. And when horses are sick giving them C can really make a difference. I am a believer and have been for a while - I take 3 to 6 G a day myself (humans do not make their own C). If you try it with a horse make sure to give the type that is emulsified with sunflower seed oil - some if it is made with eggs and that would not be good for a herbivore :)

​@@cameloteqThank you for the information! I'm going to look into liposimal Vit C

I think her previous owner has a great big heart and that there is a subset of equestrians who are doing what they think is right based on what we all learned when we were starting out. I am an old gal and my friend is a bit older than me. She did her best with what she knew and she followed vet instructions that the infection would not impair the horse heath - other than not breedable anymore. If she did not love the horse she would have sold or rehomed her a long time ago. She kept the mare in her care. She is the type that thinks horses are best left out all the time - we do live in CA where the weather stays pretty nice. I have happen to like to give my horses lives that make them feel royal - because I think they are. In Princess April's case my kind of care is working out real good. She looks better and happier every day - tomorrow will be one week with me. Here is my 5-day checkin. Thank you for watching and caring! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jZi2SFf7F9laMsi=Zo-3obdw14ejGDtC
