Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

Deno (proper name De Novo) was adopted by FHG posters in 2005 when one of them, Shebalator, rescued him from slaughter.

Then - 700lbs underweight with a broken jaw and multiple other ills.

Photobucket


2008 - still struggling with sarcoids but finally fit enough to have a light rider up for the first time so he could
join his mates on a jaunt round the local lanes

Photobucket

2009 - due to sheb’s declining health, a new home was sought for Deno.
A very brave ebayer named upthecreekyetagain ( very apt name I think you will agree) agreed to take him on.
So, now Deno lives in Surrey with the Creeky family, plus 3 lovely mares. He has 5 acres of grass and orchards to roam in and is very happy.

Photobucket

His sarcoids still remain a problem, but a new vet is investigating them further to decide on the best course of palliative care.
Visits can be arranged, please contact Creeky for more info.


Deno is reliant on fundraising and donations for his food, medicines and all the things that make his world that bit nicer.

His in-depth story can be found on his website http://www.denorescuedhorse.co.uk/
and there is more info (including how you can join in and help him) on Elphaba’s Me Page.

This replaces his previous diary thread that had become too cumbersome to load.
And to mark the start of the next chapter of his life.

New Deno supporters always welcome!

Waves to Mushed and everyone else... \o/ 😄

Elph, I think Moz should be the new Chief Whip... she'd whip the members into behaving properly, that's for sure, and she'd have time to fit it into her normal day too. :-D

Definitely Moz for Chief Whip, Al 😄

* she probably already has one...... and wears leather a lot*

The ENORMOUS box of goodies has arrived safely. I can't unpack to properly investigate until the toddler is in bed tonight (she can get out of the duck tape restraints now)

Not sure whether to wait until MDCC to start...will see how quickly I can get photos and listings turbo'd as MDCC isn't that far off now anyway.

Thank you thank you thank you on behalf of Deno :-x (and Bev.....and I'll try my dangly hopefully and with thanks xx)

Mushed (and others)

The long thread effect seems to have worked against us - grand to see you all in here :-x

We are currently raising money for vets bills and medications he needs. I have two auctions running at the moment and a great many to come thanks to some generous donations of items from Al and Merlin.

Is that a potential new Deno Defender I spy at #89 - welcome to the world of deno Mush.

You may have been surprised when coming on the thread to find all about Deno - imagine how I felt, 6 weeks after hearing about Deno I had him living with me - 😮

On a more serious note do pop in again, he really is some horse. Oh and keep a look out for auctions on his behalf. If you or anyone else are going to be in the Gatwick area just give me a shout a day or two in advance and you will be most welcome to come and meet the big boy.

Creeky, you certainly have your hands full looking after a horse
with Sarcoids, not to mention his other problems.

I have experience of these after caring for a friends Thoroughbred
with this condition.

He was a LOT worse than Deno. His chest was covered in them,
he had two massive ones in the crease behind both front legs,
on his belly, everywhere.

The only thing we could do was, as you are doing, smother them
in vaseline, otherwise there were days he just could not move.

The powder made them so tight he was in agony trying to walk.

At times he seemed to be recovering, but his case was just so
severe they kept returning.

In the end he had to be put down.

Deno is very lucky he is not so badly afflicted and treatment is
actually working:-D

He looks lovely, very different from the earlier photo's.

Well done all of you for caring enough to help him:-x
