My name is Dorothy and my horse is named Rio who is 15 years old and a thoroughbred. He is boarded in San Jose, and he got hurt in the paddock. Not sure how it happened, but he got a wound on the left side of his face. While at my temporary job that I'm working, I received a call that Rio got hurt. He bumped his head, was bleeding, and had a wound, and I needed to call the vet. I called Tri County Vet in Gilroy, and Dr. Landon Fielding came out to treat Rio, put stitches on his wound, and prescribed medication for him with Banamine, Tribrissen, and Penicillin. I was told by the vet that he had nerve damage due to his injuries. He was given the medication as prescribed and later got an infection. I called Tri County Veterinary and spoke with Dr. Mario and told him about Rio, and he came out to see him. He told me that Rio has an infection in his eye and needed treatment at the hospital and would require him to be there for 2 to 3 days for his health. That is because he has an ulcer in his eyes and can't blink due to dryness, and it could get worse if not properly treated. He was loaded into the trailer to the hospital, and he is now there till. This happened to him on May 8th till now. I'm just asking for help for him to pay his bill as I don't have the money to pay it. Also, as I mentioned, this job is temporary and could end at any time. I would be so grateful if you can please give any amount to help him. Thank you for reading about Rio.
