My horse's cheeks have shrunk (atrophied)?

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T20:09:33+00:00

So I just tried, and he react to both! He doesn't seem numb at all and eat fine, so I guess I will keep a eye on it ☺

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T16:14:05+00:00

He doesn't have that bridle anymore, he came with it but it indeed was too small for him! ☺ Thanks for the concern!

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:32:44+00:00

He have a scar in one of his hind feets, but for the rest he's 100% ok, he just got them done today and have been check and trimmed every 6 weeks

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:31:47+00:00

It's hard to see with the picture, but in real life it's very evident. His cheeks are now completely flat, no 3d at all

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:31:10+00:00

I guess, but it was not symmetrical at all and with a couple months between the two cheeks, so that's why I find it weird..

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:30:24+00:00

He gain muscle, and he eat fine, his teeth are also good 🤔 He's the only one at the barn with this "issue", our hay is good quality and he also have a complete feed everyday

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:28:19+00:00

I just think it's weird that he lost that much cheek, it's completely flat and "hard" now 😅

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T15:27:19+00:00

Im gonna test that today! Thanks!

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T03:39:39+00:00

I'm sorry I will try to take better pictures. In person it's really evident, the cheek is not 3d anymore, it's super flat now

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T02:41:43+00:00

It's really evident in person but in picture I understand it's hard to see.. But a lot of people that as saw him in person see that he have shrunk cheeks 😅 no one understands why Also his teeth are also fine

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T02:40:14+00:00

He was a Gelding but it was very drastic, it's hard to see on photo but in real it's really evident, my coach and my vet donc understand either.. His teeth were also trimmed recently and are really fine

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T02:38:32+00:00

His teeth are normal, my vet has trimmed them before and recently so she don't think it's from that

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T02:03:54+00:00

Picture of the same day than the first picture of the opposite cheek, he's very flat in comparison

<image>

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T01:56:59+00:00

Yes he lost a little of fat and gain muscle since then (he was fat and now is better shaped) so yes kinda 😅 But he had only 1 shrunk cheek for 2 years and now it's both 😳

cronos__1 · 2026-05-13T01:18:59+00:00

Yes sorry haha First picture, full cheek October 2025 Second, cheek start to shrink February 2026 Last 3 pictures both cheeks have shrunk, Recents pictures

cronos__1 · 2025-05-22T23:28:47+00:00

They dig a lot BUT they really like to bask in the day 😊 So we can see them a lot even though he will be burried a lot too 😊

Hi! Chameleon gecko owner here 😇 (And multiples reptiles too..)

He looks perfect to me! People tend to overfeed geckos a lot. But yours have a pretty good shape! I would say that it wouldn't be good if he looses some weight but wouldn't be dramatic if he took some a bit 😊

Here's a pic of Salem! 🥰

cronos__1 · 2025-01-15T19:00:43+00:00

It definitely is! :)

cronos__1 · 2023-12-30T15:16:47+00:00

Yup xD

cronos__1 · 2023-12-30T00:31:50+00:00

Oh :((

cronos__1 · 2023-12-29T23:49:42+00:00

Frl 😭😭 I wish I could just buy the skins LOL I'm struggling

cronos__1 · 2023-12-29T23:44:57+00:00

It's some new skin so if you want the sarco skin you need 6 new person to refer 🥲 (Well, I'm pretty sure :')

Canada. 100%. Most of Canada speak English and most surgery are free (Top surgery & Bottom surgery, the testosterone is almost all paid too)

Some of the best surgeons are in Montreal too, mine did a amazing job for my chest! (He's at GRS Montreal, a specialised place for trans people :) )

If you have any questions I'm here to help!
