OH and yes, I changed my name to Veronica [Not legally..not yet anyway] although I am still working on convincing my family to call me that but...yeah. lol. Oh and does anyone know how to get the web adress VeronicaandLilly.blogspot.com instead of the one with Sophia? Thanks :)
This blog is about me and my horse, Lilly. She is a 5 yr. old Haflinger, and it is about the progress we are making :)

more medical problems
Lilly seems to just want me to have to worry about her 24/7. Between the runs that have yet to clear up, and the summer sore that STILL isn't better, I'm nearly constantly applying ointment or getting a new supplement, and worrying about her. Well today I went out to take her blanket off because it was getting rather sunny, and I noticed her entire face was swollen and puffy, and around her throat a little bit. Of course being her over protective mommy I freaked out. I went inside to tell my mom to call the vet immediately. I was worried it was strangles [ Their throat swells up and they sort of..die if you don't get medical attention A.S.A.P] We called the vet and got no answer, so then we figured we'd better go ahead and make it an emergency call. Dr. Garcia said he didn't think it was strangles, and that he thought because of her age, it had to do with her teeth [she is due for her teeth getting done soon]. So it's a fairly short story but I figured I needed to post something :O.]
