Paraplegic Foal: UPDATE..

[Danzig]

my initial thought was no. then i thought a bit(and remembered a story i read years ago about a pony who became blind, but learned how to move and even jump by listening to his rider-whether or not it was all bullsh!t i don't know, but it was a good story!), and then i read the article. and once more, it has to be on a case by case basis. the right horse, the injury in the 'right' spot, treatable, the right vet, and most importantly, the right owners. best of luck to Lucky and his family.

I agree 100% with your post. I've had two fillies within the last three years that had problems that had very good chances of ending in euthansia. Both fillies have made outstanding show horses and while there were some very bleak times during the course of treatments and aftercare, I'm thankful we stayed the course.
