Medical Care For Pets At Home

Home for neglected horses planned

(CNS): With Dr Brandy Darby of St Matthews University leading a group that is working to get a corporation up and running that will cater to neglected horses, two have already come to her attention that are in need of medical care. The horses, named Annie and Gracie, are currently in the Department of Agriculture’s impoundment lot and are both thin, with Annie suffering from an injury to her right leg and Gracie suffering from cancer of the mouth. Both animals were surrendered to the DoA by their previous owners.

“Much has been in the media recently about the overpopulation of dogs and cats in the Cayman Islands but many people might not be aware that the same problem exists in the horse world in the Cayman Islands,” said Darby. “While the small animals have several dedicated groups looking out for their welfare, such as the Humane Society and CARE, no one has been an advocate for the welfare of the horses until now.”

While the corporation that Darby and her group plan to start is in the formative stages of becoming officially incorporated, they are hoping to help these two horses in the meantime. They are hoping to raise funds for the care of the two horses with a yard sale, which is to be held on 13 August at 69 Smith Road, across from Smith Road Plaza. The sale will start at 6am and all proceeds will go towards Annie and Gracie’s care. Members of the public are encouraged to come out and support the sale or make a donation.

“Both horses are thin and in need of some medical care, but have very sweet natures and will be fantastic pasture pets once rehabilitated, said Darby. “Unlike other homes where the horses are to be ridden, these horses will eventually be used to teach people respect, love and compassion.”

Darby and her group have received financial assistance from horse trainer Tricia Sybersma and hope to officially start up their corporation with the name Cayman Equine Sanctuary. Once it gets off the ground, the organisation will partner with various groups throughout Grand Cayman to educate farmers about equine husbandry and will also become involved with human-animal therapy for people with mental or physical handicaps.

They have chosen a temporary location for the sanctuary, located in Lower Valley, just off Hirst Road, and are reviewing sites for a permanent sanctuary. However, the number of horses that will be taken into the permanent sanctuary site will be dependent on funding and the size of the site.

It is proven with enough witness that pets are the lovely domestic animals which folks like to keep in their homes. Feeding them with delicious food is not the only responsibility but there’s a lot to do. Everybody gets hurt and it is same for pets. In case of injuries we rush to a vet for medical help and with much complaint we do pay off the medical bills.

It seems that medical expenses are soaring day by day. Taming a rabbit or a dog has become quite expensive but we cannot give up the wish which we have in our mind. Modern families are keeping beautiful pets in their homes and also have taken up the pet insurance plans.

All the time we cannot rely upon the debit card. In case if it runs out of money then what we will do. And it will be a stupidity to just stay helpless when the most charming pet is crying out of pain. It is a piece of advice to all the families which keep pets in their homes that it is essential to have pet insurance cards so that they can meet the escalating prices of veterinary expenses.

One needs to consider a couple of points before picking up a pet insurance. One of those strong points is that all the insurance plans are not equivalently same. Moreover, one has to take the particular insurance plan which gives financial coverage. It happens that many folks take insurance plans and later on they realized that they couldn’t get much financial help. The worst is that they had to pay extra bucks from their plastic cards. In such a case one should raise the question: Why even after taking up a better insurance plan one had to pay the extra bucks? This genuine question is worth enough as a topic of hot debate.
