Update on the update for Dolly--not Lyme, not looking tick bourne.

Possible cancer if not the teeth, which we hope to check out on Monday
as her temp is coming down.

So, it's a mixed bag early result.
Oh dear. Poor lovely Dolly. I guess it could be cancer with the
weight issues, but my fingers are crossed that it will be teeth. You
will do what is best for the old girl no matter what. Prayers being
sent Eileen.

My old gelding (26) took to getting really skinny every late summer early
fall, five or six years back. Had his teeth checked, blood work, etc. etc.
Double wormed him (even though showing no parasites), sand blasted him
(though showing no sand), nada.

No matter what I did or fed him, he'd get skinny in the fall, and, about the
first good killing frost, he'd put it back - regardless of what I fed him.
Regardless of teeth, worms, sand.

Never did figure it out, but by now I just go with it. Something in the
pasture he shouldn't eat? Flies? Zombies chasing him around 'til
Halloween? (Actually, he started putting it back on a few weeks back). Who
knows? He doesn't seem to feel unwell, and he's really not *that* skinny -
it's just that skinny bugs a person worse when you don't know why. He's
chunking back up again nicely now (as every year since it started), and I
don't know why *that* either.
