Milo has just had specialist tooth surgery as he was in a lot of pain.. hes still got a lot of healing to go and a big medical bill..
Gisborne
Milo is a 15 year old Morgan pony and is a huge part of our family.. I was born with a Major cardiac condition having 3 triple bypass cardiac surgeries by the age of 4 years old and being given 50% chance of surviving each cardiac surgery, Ive always from a young age been horse mad and and my only pony Milo is absolutely everything to me.. Im a 15 year equestrian showjumper from Gisborne Nz and Milo and I plan on doing our first Pony grand Prix together as we have been told he has enough scope to do this.. its my passion and dream... but about 3 months ago milo started head flicking which is a sign of pain so we started trying to rule things out, the dentist did his teeth.. we had the chiropractor to do his back and they both said he was in great Nic but still he was head flicking which is a sign of pain or discomfort.. we started going down the path of thinking it was allergy's but it still didnt sit right with us for his to start being allergic all of a sudden at his age, we got another dentist out to investigate which she found a hard lump in the gum of his lower back jaw and after numerous xrays done found a fractured back tooth which will need to extracted by a specialist. Without this surgery he has no quality of life and is in pain which we are trying to manage with pain relief but that is only a short term fix.
Milos Owners and family
All funds will go to the specialist Equine dental surgeons cost which starts at $3000 without complications and milos vet bills incurred to find the problem are $2000 we are hoping to raise close to $5000 to cover this all.
Mr Milo is on the mend and feeling much much better!! 28 May 2021
Mr Milo came through the surgery amazingly which took a whole day for the surgeon to complete as she needed to pull 2 teeth in the end.. at "Blue Mist Equine" in Waihi... He is healing well but still on mushy food and grass as hay is being withheld for one more week to make sure the clot where the teeth were are healed properly, he is feeling a lot better in himself. We still have a fare way to go with paying his bill but we are overwhelmed with all the love and support for this super cool pony xx
