Default Kip Deville :(
It's not looking good for him according to this article. I didn't know he had laminitis.

It is sad. He's battling a tough foe.

just awful... DRF is saying 20% chance to survive.

stupid question, but would that stemcell treatment that got Lava Man back to the track do anything for Kip?

Smart question. Wouldn't help the damage from laminitis, unfortunately. That's sad about Kip, doesn't look good.

I can't even tell you what I'd give not to see this horse on the In Memorium for 2009. C'mon Kip!

Listening to Steve talking to Haskin a minute ago, Haskin said an experienced horsewoman contacted him on Facebook about a guy who's worked with a couple dozen horses with laminitis and never lost one. Supposely he put or will put it to Iavarone. You never know.

24 horses with laminitis and has not lost a one? I highly doubt that.

Eh, it's about that many from what I remember and Haskin brought it up to Steve. 's all I know about it's veracity. I'll go poke around his FB page and see if she posted directly to it so we can see what exactly she said.

Cat,

That is what this woman wrote Haskin. If you write Steve (sehaskin@aol.com), I'm sure he'll provide more details.

If Kip Deville were somehow saved by this or he is able to feel a little better for awhile (even though I understand he's not suffering at present), chalk one up for the internet. I just am continually amazed how offers to help horses or horse people can turn around in a matter of minutes whether it's health concerns, theft, kill pens, injured jockeys, or a need for moral support. Should the IEAH folks opt not to work with this person or it doesn't end up being effective, I'm happy for the horses and people he's supposed to have helped. The idea, at least, has been a heartening.
