http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/woefully-neglected-and-sick-horse-rescued/1077952 Notice the date of this article. Isabell came into the rescue almost 6 yrs ago, in horrible condition. We did not think she was going to make it, BUT she fought and fought, as well as the community who helped her by donating to her surgery, and her after care. Isabell has had issues since, but we were able to control her compromised immune system with diet, monthly shots, and 6 surgeries. During the winter months, she was much more comfortable and always came back up. (Skin, hair and attitude) This last winter she did not come back up, as a matter of fact since last winter..she has been slowly losing weight, which we fought with double grain, double hay. Nothing helped..well now, her weight is still going down, despite the double feedings..Fly spray, allergy medicine, nothing is helping her skin conditions...today, while she was getting her feet done, I was standing there in VERY close eye contact, and she has more cancer. She has already had 6 cancer surgeries, and I cannot put her through it again. A few days ago, I went to feed store and bought something else, to try and win her weight loss, praying it would help..There isnt anything that can be done for Isabell, and I know this today..so with a VERY heavy heart...I am once again asking the community for help for Isabell. She has touched the hearts of many, and has made many a person happy with her love, but I cannot be selfish and try and keep her here on earth, when she can go home and NOT have anymore issues..No scratching herself bloody, no more allergies, no more cancer surgeries, no more weight loss..She is tired, exhausted, and ready..I have spoke to our Doc regarding this, and he knows this has been coming for some time..Isabell has been such a HUGE part of Ohana. I have met and been blessed with so many people who quickly became good friends because of Isabell, she has made many many memories with so many people......that is just what Isabell does...makes things so much more pleasant...so now I have to return that love...Can you help Ohana help Isabell go home?
