Thank you Marion
All the animals are doing good now. One of the horses, Joe, gave us quite a scare Thursday. He went down on the ground early that morning and just kept slamming himself to the ground. I treated him as for colic which helped some but when the vet came out he said his colon was the size of a beach ball.
He said the pronosis wasn't good and half hinted at putting him down. I know Joe's a fighter so we treated him and it was rough going Thursday and Friday some better then Saturday he was his old self again. Scared the life out of me. He's back to his bratty self now though. I had him in the front yard. It's where I put anyone that's having medical issue and he commenced to ram sack the deck at 2 am! He knocked stuff off of anything and everything he could stretch and reach. (it's a raised porch so it took quite an effort on his part) It's his way of saying "okay, I'm good to go!"
We're taking it day by day now hoping his colon will return to normal with the special feeds and medication.
Best Wishes,
Melody
