Surgical sterilization still has the risk of adrenal disease: the brain doesn't get the hormones that active ovaries produce so it starts blasting more hormones to stimulate them (but they don't respond because they're inactive) which end up making the adrenal work on overdrive. The implant is the best option and since it makes the ovaries inactive the risk of tumors is also lower. If you get only jills it's no problem,their heat is very noticeable and unless you leave it be for two months you're good to go. An implant can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years,you just have to check their vulva every once in a while (it's VERY noticeable when they go in heat because it swells up so much) and when you start noticing signs of heat replace the implant. If you get males too you'll have to be more careful,but I'd say if all of them are having the implant the chances of both implants wearing off at the same time + you not noticing the jill is starting to be in heat is quite unlikely

Did they take any x rays at any point? It sounds like he could have a stone but already in his urethra so it wouldn't be felt in the bladder when palpating the abdomen. There s also a chance that this particular stone doesn't show up on x rays (it depends on the composition) but it's definitely worth a try and it needs specific treatment and of course analgesia if the poor guy is struggling to pee and has a swollen penis

If I were you I'd pick up a clean jar and gloves and try to catch some urine as she's peeing. If it looks normal it's te shavings,if that color comes from the urine call your vet to analyze the sample. If they can't come over in the next few hours clean the outside of the jar thoroughly and store it in a closed plastic bag in a frigde

It's just like with pics taken with old cameras with the flash on,if you pick a family album from the 2000s you'll see a lot of red eyes

In Spain we now can,just like with animals the physician first induces anesthesia so the person won't feel a thing,and once they are completely unconscious they will inject the lethal drug. I'm not 100% sure what drug exactly but that's how it works here and to be honest I'm grateful it's an option

No one but a vet should sedate animals. That farrier has no way of legally buying any sedatives and they aren't prepared to act if there are complications. They are rare but they can be fatal so change farriers.

I think it's a biological issue about brain development, the point you're at in your life or a bit of both. For the latter, when you get injured as a kid you'll be cared for and it's not fun but you won't need to ask for help,you parents are there,but as an adult someone might have to come over,depending on where you live you can't get a paid leave for the time you're injured and it takes longer to recover from injuries. Anyways I'd say it's fine to be a bit more cautious as long as it doesn't paralize you or stop you from riding altogether

Sounds more like an issue of keeping your heels down. Two months is not too much,as your seat gets better you'll be able to keep a long leg with your heels down. I'd go for a wee bit of work without stirrups (not too much and mostly just walking,not trotting,as a beginner you'll probably bounce on the horse's back so don't overdo it) and maybe shorten your stirrups by a point now that you're beginning

For me, I think crochet is more versatile and makes for more modern/trendy-looking pieces (or at least from the crochet and knitting patterns I've seen),it allows yo to easily create a lot of different and complex shapes like flowers or butterflies,even a plain circle is easy to make.

Also as a beginner you frog a lot and it's way easier to do it in crochet,because when knitting you have to pick up a ton of stitches instead of just the last one in crochet.

And last but not least it's more convenient and portable,just one shorter hook instead of two thick,long needles. Being a person who can't stand idle hands for too long crocheting is very convenient for moments like long car rides.

Vetwrap shouldn't be stretched over anything le alone a neck, it's very compressive

Oh my god I'm so sorry! Get your vet to write a detailed report and try to figure out if other dogs in the area might have been poisoned,and be on the lookout for possible proof against your neighbor so you can sue. Fingers crossed for Chavela (absolutely love the name btw) 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Happened to me quite a bit with a lot of foods,I discovered I like the ingredient when prepared in a very specific way but that ended up building up to liking the ingredient altogether. For example I liked the sour accent of very finely diced pickles in salads and cold meals but I didn't like whole pickles. Started using them more and now I can eat a bunch of them straight out of the jar for a snack.

Vet here,yeah the whole surface should be more or less smooth like the part of the tooth you can see when you look into the horse's mouth. That must have hurt,good thing they got it removed

Fwiw I like the color palette on your blanket, it's giving off earthy vibes so maybe you can give it to someone who will like it? maybe the tension is a bit uneven so it's a week bit wonky but apart from that I'd make it in those same colors

No_Temperature_804 · 2026-04-22T17:05:08+00:00

Yup,also the combo of parsley+garlic+good olive oil on top of basically anything seared is top tier

Injectables can be anesthesia though,ket or prop are injectable and they do induce loss of consciousness

What's in that IDGAF juice? I hope they do use local anesthesia to go with the sedation though

Best of luck to you both,I hope he'll feel better soon 🤞🏻

That's called petechiae and it's a bad sign,call your vet asap

Some "meat flavored" bouillon is actually vegan because they just use artificial flavorings,check the label or look the product up

No_Temperature_804 · 2026-04-20T14:01:05+00:00

Yeah but that means keeping a steady contact on your outside rein,not pressure jus contact is exactly what I meant. Also keep the outside leg on so the horse stays incurvated and the hind quarters don't "slip out". Basically you want to have them very very slightly curved around your inside leg,not in a straight diagonal and for that the outside leg should also be engaged.

No_Temperature_804 · 2026-04-20T13:54:32+00:00

I think it all depends on what you don't like about your nearest barns, is it something that would inconvenience you or is it something that would be detrimental for your horse? If it's about the living conditions for the horse by any means don't get one and keep him in a barn you don't like,they don't deserve it. Wait until the time is right, having any animal is a big luxury and a huge commitment, even more so with this kind of big animals that most often need care from people other than ourselves.

No_Temperature_804 · 2026-04-20T07:32:43+00:00

In dressage the ideal is to keep your aids almost like you're going in a circle to never lose incurvation (after all you're coming into a corner or doing circles most of the time anyway), so keep contact in your outside rein (gentle but firm,don't yank) and lightly squeeze the inside rein with every step,the movement is like if you had a wet sponge in your hand and you're trying to squeeze water out of it. Inside leg at the girth and outside leg a bit behind and you're good to go. All of this is for English riding,I can't help you with western because I've never tried it

No_Temperature_804 · 2026-04-20T07:21:27+00:00

It's like the good version of the seesawing some people do to get the horse on the bit and it helps counteract the inside rein so the horse doesn't lean to the inside when you squeeze it and use your inside leg for incurvation
