A Sundre-area horse rescue is looking for support to cover the medical costs for Dixie's rare condition. yyc
that the horse, named Dixie, was surrendered a few months ago.
The group says the owner couldn't handle the horse's behavioural issues and wouldn't be able to pay for spay surgery."Turns out that Dixie has an intersex condition, and it was found that one of the ovaries was actually a testicle," Bear Valley Rescue wrote. "Both of which successfully removed and with a good prognosis."
Kathy Bartley, who works with Bear Valley Rescue, told CTV News in an email that Dixie's condition is "fairly rare." "Our veterinarian said she had never seen a horse with no outward signs but having the internal differences that Dixie has," Bartley said, adding that the veterinarian initially believed the horse had a medical issue with one of her ovaries.While the horse is on the road to recovery, the group says it is still seeking donations to help with Dixie's care.
