Pimmy’s Appointment

Friday, November 22, 2024

This morning, my donkey Pimmy will visit her veterinarian. She’ll be checked for the status of her diabetes and Cushing’s disease. I will receive ongoing care instructions.

If she’s doing well and her diabetes has become controlled, Pimmy still needs medicating, but maybe only once daily, for Cushing’s. Medicating once would be welcome–easier and quicker.

From the outside, Pimmy looks excellent. She’s lost some weight, has a thick and shiny coat, and has a big appetite for her allotted hay drops.

I might have problems today loading Pimmy into the horse trailer. She might resist if my horses aren’t on board, so she may be with them. If so, I’ll try coaxing her inside by showing her a big carrot (which she’s no longer allowed–too much sugar). If she hops into the trailer, I’ll give her a bit of the treat.

Dear Friends: Today, I will take pictures of Pimmy, healthier and prettier now. Diana
