We gave blind Chance and Lonesome George their chemotherapy treatment today. This is the week when we give them cytarabine; on alternate weeks our equine vet, Dr. Bill Brown, gives them cytoxan intravenously.
We walked Chance and George down the drive from Lena’s Barn to Beauty’s Barn this afternoon so we could give them the injections in the warmth of the medical suite there. While Kathryn and I tended to Chance and George, Beth was preparing all the stalls in Beauty’s Barn for the night … filling water buckets and putting hay and grain in feeders.
In the photo Kathryn is giving George his dose. I think he knew what was coming, because I had to pull him the entire 150 yards down the drive to Beauty’s Barn. (Ever pulled a mule?) Once we were done, I turned George loose so he could head back on his own, and he suddenly could walk at twice the speed. Imagine that.
