Pony Silver
A life full of suffering and now?
Animal confiscations happen when nothing works anymore. When the neglect of the animals has progressed so far that you have to ask yourself how can an animal survive all this.
Emaciated to the bone and the soul a gaping wound
Two ponies and three horses were found in a horrible condition. For months, the animals must have been neglected. The condition of the ponies and horses is so bad that the veterinary office was able to put an end to the madness by confiscating them.
Huddled together, sick and emaciated, the horses must have hoped for a long time that the next day might be a better one. That finally feed would come, fresh hay and water.
The ponies Silver and Bounty, as well as the horses Olyra, Fordson and Vigo were in a physical and health condition that went beyond the scope of anything bearable.
The medical first aid could begin
Full of patience and love, medical care was started. The feed was eaten with shining eyes. Very calmly and prudently, the horses took the food and everything they were given to build up. Very horrified and dejected, but at the same time motivated, veterinarians and keepers worked on the recovery of the neglected horses.
Bounty, as well as the horses Olyra, Fordson and Vigo now live on the home farms of Gut Aiderbichl. The red Aiderbichl halter guarantees them a protected, safe life full of care and love, until the natural end of their lives.
Pony Silver must still wait a little until the doctors release it
Silver is still at the rehab station in Egg. There, he is still undergoing therapy on the gray melanoma, and the prospects are good that Silver will soon be able to start the journey to his new forever home. Bounty will be delighted when he can introduce his friend Silver to all the other ponies at Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf.
Successful work regarding sick horses connects Gut Aiderbichl and the Sandgrueb Foundation, Vetsuisse, Faculty Zurich, for years. The team of doctors at the rehabilitation station in Egg near Zurich specializes in chronic diseases of the hooves, skin, etc. and successfully treats the diseases of their patients with indescribable dedication and enormous medical knowledge.
Photos from the rehab station in Egg show that Silver has gained weight, he looks very well groomed and calm. The emaciated pony became a healthier looking pony.
Silver still has to wait a little - not for food or species-appropriate husbandry - but for a safe and protected life with his fellow species at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf's Begegnungshof.
