Adele Update
We have an update on Adele Donkey today - the results of her spinal tap have returned and we will be treating Adele for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis EPM. It is not possible to know if this is a flare up of a long ago exposure, or a new exposure, but the results are the same - we begin treatment this Friday! A special medication for this month-long protocol will be $1200-1500 and we are grateful EPM is something we can tackle with a medication. Her Vitamin E levels are great, so that is a big plus - she will continue to get that supplement as well.
Please keep thinking good thoughts for Adele!

Adele Donkey Update
Sweet Adele was trailered to Tufts Large Animal Hospital this morning as planned. Shelter Manager Tye got her there and safely admitted.
As we came to the end of the day - her spinal radiographs came back with nothing notable spotted. Her right rear seems to be the main area of neurological weakness. Next step on Thursday is sedation for the spinal tap to test for EPM.
She will return to us on Friday and we will then have some decisions. If EPM is found in the spinal sample, then we have a treatment protocol to start. If not, then we can consider a CT scan focused on the right rear and spine.
We miss her, and I am pretty sure so does Star Donkey even if they are a bit like a couple that has been married forever and squabble a bit!
We promise to keep you in the…
