I haven’t wanted to write this post…..

I’ve delayed and avoided it…..

…..but we finally got back all the test results…..

*****Well…Here Goes…Disclaimer…This Is A Farm Post…There’s Life And There’s Death That Happen On A Farm*****

…..For some unknown reason………….Finley died suddenly…..

I’ll include copies of the bloodwork and tests we got back…..

But none of them were helpful…or informative…they were a waste of time/paper/& money…..

My older daughter and I were with Finley…consoling him…while he died…it was an ugly…agonizing…protracted death…..

…..I should have put him out of his misery…but I was waiting for the damn vet…..

…..unfortunately…Stevie Wonder was out of town…..

…..a young/new vet came………….finally………….I can’t even remember her name…..

I wasn’t impressed…her ego was profound…I’m sure her schooling was great…but her experience was not at all comparable…..

I can say…that ALL we have to help us wrap our heads around Finley’s sudden death…AT ONLY EIGHTEEN MONTHS OLD…is this piss-poor bloodwork…..

Why bother!?!…..

???????Additionally…she could’t be coerced into doing a field necropsy (autopsy)…for a liver biopsy…..???????

…..my daughter and I requested one repeatedly…but it fell on the deaf/non-compliant ears…of an inexperienced newbie…..

Oh wait!………….MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL…rather than collecting clotting arterial blood from an already dead horse…for TOTALLY USELESS bloodwork!?!…..

IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!…..

…..but field necropsies are messy…I had another vet who complained about her shoes getting messy while she did Bell’s field necropsy at the end of 2018…..

HELL!…my younger daughter and I were holding open Bell’s rib cage for her!…HAVE A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE AND EMPATHY!…..

Bitter…Much!?!…..

Like I said………….it took me awhile to be able to write this post…..

…..maybe I’ve tried too soon………….maybe I should’ve waited longer…..

Nothing will bring Finley back…dead is dead…he’s gone…he’s buried…..

The nice/new/young vet has totally avoided calling me to discuss the useless test results…..

I had to request (multiple times) to even get the results emailed to me…(I paid for the #$%^&^%#$ things—didn’t I!)…..

…..I’ve been told…I can be………….hmmmmm………….intimidating…..

…..I can’t imagine why?…..

…..he only made it to eighteen months…and we don’t know what happened…..

…..that makes a total of twelve horses dying suddenly since April, 2018…..

…..and the damned security cameras were out…again…..

…..like I said…it’s not rocket science…..
