Oscar

This is Oscar. He was pulled from Camelot on 7/7/10 by Maggie Bloom and surrendered to FPF for placement.

Oscar had episodes showing when he arrived at FPF on 7/12/10. We expected it to be Wobbles and were awaiting a vet evaluation/diagnosis on him when he developed a lameness in his hind left leg. We contacted our local vet hospital and took Oscar in for an emergency call.

A metal piece was removed from the frog area, and his episodes were diagnosed as a side affect of tetanus. He was treated at Valley View for this. He is currently back at FPF continuing his treatment with a reset of his hind shoes in 4-6 weeks. He is currently doing well.

Oscar will continue treatment until he is released by the attending vets. We will move him to the adoption page once that happens. Oscar’s sponsor is Maggie Bloom

DISCLAIMER: We are in NO WAY, nor have we or will we EVER be affiliated with Drafty Barn Rescue located in Lore City, OH. The operator of the Drafty Barn Rescue organization has tagged the phrase "Frog Pond" on her website, used a portion of our trademarked slogan for her organizational name, and has placed frog pictures all over her pages. Additionally, she seems to be overly concerned about the length, content and requirements of our adoption application and contracts. This is a small part of her efforts at causing issues for our organization. One very good reason this "rescue" should be watched is shown in living color from Channel 3-Cleveland News Footage. The photo of the operator of the Drafty Barn rescue is shown on the still shot in the video. You will hear her own words and feelings on horse slaughter by watching the link.

There is also a 2008 USDA/Ohio Dept of Agriculture citation against them for Non-burial of Livestock after they left a horse lying in a ditch for days unnoticed by anyone that resides at the farm -- only the children who ride the bus past the farm daily to school. We received numerous phone calls from parents requesting assistance. Should you wish to see this document, please feel free to email us and it will be forwarded.
