🐴 A Little Update on Prince 🐴
Our beautiful boy, Prince, made the trip to Oak Ridge Veterinary for a lameness evaluation. What we thought and hoped might be a simple visit turned into nearly four hours of testing, exams, and diagnostics as the team worked carefully to find the source of his discomfort.
After a thorough workup, Prince received injections in his hock, and we learned that he is dealing with some bone-on-bone changes that have been causing him significant pain. While it’s never easy to hear that one of our animals is hurting, we are grateful to finally have some answers and a plan to help keep him more comfortable.
We want to give a huge thank you to the veterinarians, assistants, and interns at Oak Ridge. Their compassion, patience, and attention to detail are truly remarkable. They took such wonderful care of our sweet boy, and we couldn’t be more thankful.
As many of you know, caring for rescue animals often comes with significant veterinary expenses this visit was approximately $1,200, and it is just one of many vet bills we face as we work to ensure our animals live happy, comfortable, and pain-free lives.
Through it all, Prince was an absolute gentleman. ❤️ One of the sweetest moments of the day was watching him discover his reflection in the window. He kept nuzzling and admiring himself, and it gave us all a much-needed smile. He handled every test and procedure like a champion.
Prince, we love you so much. Thank you for trusting us to care for you.
