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.

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.

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!

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

I fought my way back in here for an update as my 'sources' had dried up; and can only hope he hasn't done anything horrible in the intervening months!

 

Wishing you all well, Creeky:  horses, people, ponies...... all of you.  I was surprised and happy that this thread was still here.  I might have disappeared from threads, but Deno has never disappeared from my thoughts.    All the best x

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

Poor old Deno has been suffering this year 😞

 

He’s had a persistent abscess in his hoof that keeps flaring up - he has had numerous courses of anti-biotics, farrier and vet visits and gone through Lord knows how many poultice boots.

 

The vet was here again today and is coming back next week to take X-Rays - hopefully that ŵill clarify exactly what and where the problem is - fingers crossed.

He's got something jabbed right in there?

Hopefully the X-Ray will show up any problem like that.

Poor Deno. He is lucky to have you caring for him, Creeky. Hope the xray can pinpoint what it is and he can be quickly on the mend.

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

Hi - I should have done an update earlier - my apologies.

 

The vet came yesterday - checked the hoof that has had the abscess and nothing showed up on the X-Ray - as far as we can tell there is no infection so the hole has been filled with hoof putty and a poultice boot fitted until the putty hardens, one or two days.

 

However the vet also examined his front right leg and thinks he may have laminitis in that leg - he’s on bed rest and pain killers for a week and the vet will call again next week.

The old lad is still going strong - not too keen on the hot weather.

 

He’ll probably take it out on Freddie when he comes tomorrow to do his feet.

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

Hello there,Elph!  Nice to see you. grin

 

I was thinking of Deno too hence posting.  He leads a charmed life doesn't he?  Long may it continue too, with good health.

 

The Creeky family are doing a wonderful job.  MDCC died a death here but it would be great to do a bit of fundraising for Deno.  Does anybody have any ideas?

We we are having to buy in hay, something we normally only do in the winter 😞
