Where is the owner of this horse? It's not fare to expect you to stay up all night and medicate this animal every two hours.

I am wondering if you take things on because you care about the animal, and care about the children at risk that you help and you are expected to do more than you can. You maybe don't say anything because you don't want your needs to cost the animal or children in need?

I sympathize with you Liz because I myself have a horse and a pony that I worry about and I know that if I don't take care of them no one else will. My arab doesn't have very good eyesight so he tends to get eye injuries. I try to treat one eye and he struggles to let me because it's painful. And the eye I was treating must have been the good eye because he ended up banging his head and injured the other eye. So I had to treat both eyes. I KNOW no one else would want to care for him and I feel that he deserves to live because other than his eyes he is very healthy. I don't like this statement you are talking about either because I know if I don't care then the animal will suffer. It just seems like an insult or cop out like at your job where you are expected to do more than you can too by people who don't appreciate the value of a life but just think about the money part.

I am wondering if you care for this horse every two hours all night long because the owner can't afford or doesn't want to put this horse in a vet hospital where it can be cared for round the clock.

That's how I am and what got me was when I had too many of them all at once. I had to sleep in the barn. You know you will need a break Liz.
