“WE know she is old and some people would have her put down… but we love her. Can you help?”‘Her eye is a problem….detached lens .The eye will have to be removed. We can do that.”“Will Babs be hurt?”‘No. Babs will be sedated, We know the procedure.”
Those who have never owned a horse will never understand the horse to human bond.“Putting her down is out of the question. Sedate her now; “
ENTER Morgan Skeoch, 4th year student at the Edinburgh Veterinary School in Scotland.observing the work of a veterinary surgeon in Ontario, Canada.
‘Grandpa, today we removed an eye from an 18 or 19 year old Appaloosa mare”PROCEDURE AS DESCRIBED BY MORGAN SKEOCH“Sedation is injected into the jugular vein and must be checked periodically.(Detomidine + Torbugesic + Xylazine )Once sedation drip takes hold we made sure her head was in position for incisions around theeye Then a ring block was marked along the Proposed incision route. Four retrobulbar blocks (localanaesthetic)were injected behind the eye. Eyelids were sutured together and an elliptical incision was cutaround the eyelids to the level of the conjunctival sac. Then blunt dissection was done around theeye towards the back, breaking any attachments . Careful dissection of the optic nerve to be sureit does not affect the other eye … the two nerve ends communicate so care must be taken.Then the eyeball is removed and gauze is inserted in the socket to staunch the bleeding.Once staunched the gauze is removedThe incision site is sutured up in a continuous fashion for 2/3 of the length. Individual sutures complete the incisionto allow for quicker and simple removal if a problem occurs post surgery. The mare (Babs) is then bandaged and taken off sedation.”
(Morgan Skeoch, July 2024)
“What was your role Morgan?”
“I had to keep the horse standing and performed TPR (temp, pulse, resp.rate) every 15 minutes. If she wanted to lie down I pushed her to keep her up. I was part of the
What is the average lifespan of a horse?
The average lifespan of a horse is between 25 to 30 years, although it varies between breeds. It’s not uncommon for horses to live beyond 40 years of age and the oldest horse ever, Old Billy, lived to the age of 62. With better nutrition and care, the average lifespan of horses has increased over time.

EPISODE 1084; HILLBILLY ELEGY by J.D. VANCE…culture in crisisalan skeochJuly 18. 2024Trump frightens me. He is best described as a loose cannon …a gut feeling.Quite by chance while shopping in Marjorie’s favourite store…The Salvation Army Thrift Store.I nosed through the book collection,…drawn to an odd book titled‘Hilbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance. An unknown person to me.The subject was industrial towns like Middletown, Ohio,which hadbecome wastelands as factories departed for cheap labour elsewhere in the world.leaving behind the so called Rust Bellt … American States orbiting around Ohio.I paid little attention to the author, J.D. Vance, but found the book interesting as a fist personaccount of the kind of working class Americans left in the rust belt cities.The name J. D. Vance has suddenly become a household word ashe is now Donald Trump’s choice as running mate for the Republican Party’s presidential election.His speech at the convention was larded with comments about his personal life in theRust Belt/. Much of it tragic. Yet much of it heroic as well.Vance was not a lifelong Republican. His roots are as much Democrat. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat ,was admired by the Vance family.Why did Trump choose J D Vance as his running mate? Was the choice brilliant? Was the choice risky?Time will tell.

‘USA’s defeat in Vietnam war was rounded off with shocking events as the entire war itself. The final evacuation by the US forces in 1975 saw a number of Huey helicopters, which were considered to be the workhorses during the Vietnam War, tipped over the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers into the South China Sea.
This wasn’t the only incident of the frenzy and chaos at the time, but arguably the sight of throwing valuable helicopters over the deck of the USS Midway was certainly the most astonishing one. The helicopters were thrown into the ocean to make room for a lightweight Cessna O-1 Bird Dog that was carrying a South Vietnamese officer and his family.”
WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE MEKONG RIVER BORDER?
American sailors were pushjng 10 million dollars worth of helicopters from a carrier flight deck into theSouth Chin Sea. perfectly good choppers. It had to be done to make room for other helicopterscarrying refugees from Saigon. The Viet Nam War did not end smoothly, No war ever does.so , if you need spare parts for s helicopter there are m[any in the bottom of f thesea.
Meanwhile on the MEKONG RIVER side of Viet Nam, on the border of Laos and Thailand an event happenedthat would eventually impact our concerned family in the sleepy Port Credti, Ontario … thousands of miles from the Mekong River.
Pasa was the oldest son of the Banjongpanith family. His father was a successful businessman
Pasa announced quietly to his sisters and Pason (Pasong?)
“I will swim across the Mekong at nightfall with the money to pay a boat pirate for your
crossing… much safer for us.”

Note: Between 1975 and 1995, the number of Laotians refugees, including both Hmong and lowland Lao, totalled 360,000. Most of the lowland Lao fleeing their country were urbanized and educated; many were former employees of the U.S. government. They were housed mostly at Nong Khai Refugee Camp just across the river from Laos.
