Debi: no more obstacles before surgery

Debi: no more obstacles before surgery
2012.05.16.

Debi arrived at us in January of 2012 because her owners were not able to finance the surgery of the hernia on her abdomen. She was accepted on the condition that goodhearted animal lovers collected the cost of the surgery which amounted to approximately 150 000 HUF. We wanted to have her operation right then and there, we took her to the Large Animal Clinic in Üllő, where we found out that Debi’s hernia was too new to be operated on. Therefore the surgery had to be put off for 2-3 months, plus, it was learned that a special process had to be applied to her making the pre-calculated price of the surgery 1,5 times more.

Lately Debi and a few others have been kept on a farm close to the Shelter that is exclusively used for rehabilitating horses since it would have been dangerous to let her mix with a large stud. She fit in nicely and what’s more, she became the boss. (Although this only means that if she wants she can deter anyone from the food. She does not get involved in the petty fights and disagreements of the others.)
What is really important from the aspect of the surgery that Debi has put on quite a few kilos during the last few months. Her basic condition is much better than previously even though she has an inflammation in her body. But we cannot cure her purulent metritis until her surgery is done.

A control x-ray was taken 2 weeks ago that our vet found perfectly okay. The time of Debi’s surgery was set for Thursday, May 17. She is travelling to the clinic Tuesday pm.
Numerous people reacted to our recent call for donations to cover Debi’s surgery. The pre-calculated cost of the surgery was met but it was only part of the actual costs of the operation as it turned out.
We want to thank all of you who helped or who helps this kind horse to live several happy years longer.
We are still very happy to receive donations for Debi since the surgery will be very expensive (we’ll be informed of the actual amount afterwards) and the treatment of the metritis will not be cheap, either.
We are also happy to receive material donation for Debi, e.g. oat, horse-muesli or food, bran, flaxseed or oil, vitamins, halters (size XFull), horse cover, feeding basket with metal hangers.

If you have a question regarding Debi or material donations, please write to lomentes@noeallatotthon.hu.
