Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
MA, I haven't been around much and haven't had the chance to catch up, but have been worried about Racer, especially with the snow I know you've had out there. I'm so sorry it's causing him more pain, poor guy.

I will keep him in my prayers, and I sure hope the 8th reveals something further that can help this guy out of his pain and discomfort.

I too have not forgotten Racer in my prayers. I hope the test results are good! How long will it take for you to get the results?

It takes 3-5 days. They have to inject a dye into his body and then follow it as well as take blood at scheduled times-

Sending out **Calming vibes** to you and Racer.

I hope the tests reveal useful information and yield positive results.

Thanks Guys,

He is over at the vet barn, and I just called to see how he was doing. I so hated leaving him there this morning.
The girl said he is a cutie, and smart, and I can't have him back! LOL They have totally fallen in love with him.
Said most horses just hang out in the back of the paddock, but every time they go out to see him, he comes up and puts his beautiful head on their shoulder and gives them his characteristic hug. I MISS HIM SO- call me a wuss, I don't care, but I want him home!

If you're a wuss, so are we all, around this site -- and PROUD OF IT! Sounds like he knows it's for his own good and is being a great sport about it. Don't ya just love him all the more when he displays that attitude.

At least you should have some comfort knowing that the people taking care of him there are caring and kind. I will keep watching for updates!

Just letting you know that the test results came in and he does not have Cushings Disease. The vet is still stymied about why he foundered and says now the goal is to keep him trimmed and shoed so he learns to walk on the center of his foot instead of on the toe, and then maybe we can repair the bone rotation that has already happened. The good news too, is he has not rotated anymore so he is remaining steady. Thanks to all of you for your prayers, they have kept me grounded thus far-

Things equine are a mystery to me, so I take at face value and as good news the fact that the condition you feared is not present, and he's stable. No small thing, though it's also clear from what you say that he's still got a long row to hoe. So the prayers continue. Hang in there, MA, and give the boy an extra hug from me when you get a chance.

I'm so glad to hear he does not have Cushings disease and that he hasn't rotated!! That is some very good news! I'm keeping the prayers coming.
