Yet as their eyes that carried the most pain. h was the condition of 17 Pregnant Mare ne (PMU) foals that came to the MSPCA nial Care and Adoption Centei in Methuen October. 1 foals are the controversial offspring of pegnant mares whose urine is painfully harvested on special farms to make hormone replacement drugs for estrogen therapy (note: synthetic drugs are available as an alternative). These young horses are taken from their mothers long before they are ready. Caring for these foals is difficult and risky. Unfortunately, some people are unable or unwilling to provide for the PMU foals they purchase from these farms. By the time someone placed a call to the MSPCA, the four-month-old draft horses were in dire condition. The foals arrived at Nevins Farm where they began the long and difficult journey of regaining their health. All were malinounshd and severely compromised, facing a senrou struggle for life at a very young age. Critical-care teams began immediate treatment. Volunteers worked around the clock. And slowly, the foals began to respond. While their immune systems still recovering from severe infections at time of this newsletter's printing, thei weight, size and muscle density had ale. made a full recovery. And while all hai groving iapidly in in eflrtri in ll th ' W, ,1 , Ithis itsef has proven t. a ri s- for these brave foals. After overcoming bacterial infections and a leg abscess, Ashton, a leader among the foals, started to show signs of yet another condition. He suffered from Epiphysitis, a health issue that often impacts draft horses when their bones grow too quickly, resulting in painful joints. Although his condition has since been treated, this is just a reminder of the lifelong health problems these foals will face due to previous malnourishment and neglect. They will require lifelong medical attention, treatment and most importantly, loving care, in order to help prevent any future complications. If you would like to help animals like these foals who come into our care after abuse or neglect, visit www.mspca.org/companion to make a donation today. 1VI 12 *) Striving for More Advanced k Cancer Equipment - In Memory of Tucker part of out iamly Lairy and Patti Hai remember hi a', part of their is. Over three years ago. Tucker, an eight-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, isiastically wagged his tail as former MSPCA-Angell President. Dr. Larry Hawk, and his wife. took him home from an adoption center. Since then, Tucker led the best life a dog could ne; a warm home, lots of food, mounds of attention and the company of Loving owners. n November 2005, Tucker was diagnosed with Lymphoma - a common type of cancer. r immediately began treatment for Lymphoma at Angell. Although he was surrounded by 'enced. board-certified veterinary oncologists with highly advanced technology...the r overcame him. In January 2006, Tucker passed away. Angell Animal Medical Center's Radiation Oncology Department uses highly specialized nology to treat cancer. including a piece of equipment called a linear accelerator. A linear eterator is used to deliver high energy radiation to treat cancerous tumors. Although we have , technology. an updated machine would allow us to treat even more types of cancer in more mals...and we can do this with your help. In memory of Tucker. and others who have touched our hearts, we are determined to raise the funds necessary to buy a new tinear accelerator and provide this treatmerit to more animals. You can help by making a gift in memory of Tucker or in honor of your own loved one. For Tucker and all of our treasured four-legged (or less!) friends who have fought or -1l fiht rancer please make a gift at wnr mpta-ong turL6' All gifts will go toards a Hats Off to ou Volunteers
