Well, she made it through the night and even pooped for me around 2am. For those with horse experience with colic you know this is the best sign possible.Update on our old girl Bertha who may have a cancerous wound on her private area. It looks like it is drying up and healing over. Vet says cancer is likely but with her age isn't unexpected. As long as she doesnt appear to be in pain and discomfort we are going to let her heal and live her life. Her daughter recently kidded and we think she misses her too (we keep mom and babies in birthing stalls away from herd). We plan on putting the extended family together in the next week after the colder weather passes.
We had a scare this afternoon. Our oldest horse Charlotte was down for a while. Suspect colic. We have given her some meds and pro biotics in an attempt get her healthy again. We are concerned with her being a geriatric horse she may not be strong enough to pull through. She was up and down this afternoon through early evening but has stayed up so far tonight.
Going to be a long night but when we started this journey we made commitments and promises to be there and do all we can...... So we are.
Please say a little prayer for Charlotte tonight and keep our family specifically my wife in her job search and our little farm in your prayers as well!
She threw me around like a ragdoll while I was giving her pain and antiinflammatories last night but I got it done. Finally got to sleep around 2:45 am. Getting up at 6:30 was rough but made easier knowing she wasn't in immediate danger any longer. About to head to job number 2. When I get off at 9 out 10 tonight I'll crash hard and sleep harder!
Thanks for all the prayers you guys! Please continue to pray for us!
