Tonka is a 31 year old mini who came to Sunkissed three years ago. He has foundered in the past (not unusual with minis) and has Cushing's Disease (also not unusual with minis). This past September, he was also diagnosed with cancer of the sheath, and due to interactions, can no longer take Prascend. Instead, he takes an herbal supplement that is helping him.
Because of the Cushing's Disease, Tonka has a very thick coat, and when he gets wet, he gets cold. It's hard to find a size 50" waterproof turnout sheet, but Stateline Tack has one for just $48.95 (the Tough1 1200D Miniature Snuggit). Tonka needs one scoop daily of the Alternative Animal Cushing’s Free Naturally | Natural Cushing’s Supplement for Horses. The 240 scoop serving ($184.95) would last for EIGHT months!
