KALIBER CHROME

UPDATE: We have done extensive testing, biopsies, blood work, mineral analysis, skin tests, allergy testing and more and have tried a multiple course of treatments. We have found that steroids relieved his symptoms of itching and pain, but only treated for symptoms, not a cure. Chrome is now undergoing allergy treatment of his own formula. It seems to be working. As of today, January 28th, 2004, he has had 28 days of allergy medicine. He seems to be revealing some pink skin under his healing sores. We don't know if this is a remission or a cure or just a lucky couple of weeks, but we will continue in this direction as long as he feels good.

We, LCR, our volunteers, and especially Chrome want to thank everyone for all the emails and assistance you have all offer to help remedy Chrome's problems. We wanted to return all emails personally but it became too overwhelming after the first 300 or so. Please know how much we appreciate you all and your efforts to help. If you would like to be added to our mailing list membership for informative newsletters and information, send us your address with a donation  of your choosing (to help cover some of our costs) to:

Chrome has become a real character and is very playful with all the other horses. Since he has been feeling better his true horsonality has shown through. Once he has been stabilized he will be available for a new home. Let us know if you are interested in having this jokester living with you.

Hi, I'm Kaliber Chrome!!!

I have a problem that maybe someone can help me with. See my photos below!

I'm losing my hair. I was born in March 1995. I am a registered  (Breeding stock) American Paint. I have great conformation and a wonderful attitude. Approximately 4 years ago I was in training as a cutting horse until my skin irritation made it too uncomfortable to be ridden anymore. I have been treated with Steroids, topicals, internals, and nothing has seemed to clear things up for me. We are undergoing more tests and findings will be posted as we acquire them.
If anyone has any suggestions or has been through something like this please contact lbenetz@lastchanceranch.org 
Please do not email to ask for updates...we will post when we know and everything we know at the time.
