Hi, my name is Dolly Parton, after the Famous Dolly Parton singer. I currently live in Barnet Vermont. I was rescued by Bobbie Roy and her family. When Bobbie found me I was living with other horses who are fine and not sick like me. Bobbie drove by and saw that I was very emaciated and not feeling well, Bobbie asked my current owner if she could have me and they said yes and this is where my journey to get better starts......
Dolly was rescued from a home in Vermont, I drove by and saw that she was severely emaciated and just seemed down in the dumps and not feeling well. I did ask the owners to relinquish Dolly to me they said "yes". As soon as I got Dolly home I made arrangements with the vet to do some blood work and do a physical exam of her. The vet weighed Dolly and she is only weighing in at 650lbs. Dolly should weigh around 850 lbs. There is a severe fungal infection of the skin that is present that requires special medicated baths to correct. Upon getting the blood work back we discovered that Dolly has PPID or better known as Cushing's disease that will require expensive medication for the rest of her life. On top of Cushing's disease, we also found that Dolly is extremely selenium deficient and anemic which may also be causing the two heart murmurs found by the vet. Dolly is going to require lots of TLC, which she will get!! Her medication and her continued needed blood work to monitor her recovery is going to be very expensive. This little mare is a fighter and deserves a fighting chance. If you can help in any way my family and Dolly would greatly appreciate it!!.
