Gentleman

Prayers please! We had a huge change in weather overnight – down to about 40 degrees. I got up worrying about Little E because when we have a drastic change in the weather he tends to colic. Went to check on him and he was fine. However, Gentleman didn’t eat breakfast. I watched him for a bit and he appeared to be trying to colic but then I saw a lump in his neck. He coughed a little and started to drool – choke came to mind. Sure enough, we found a lump on the left side of his neck. I called Dr. Ryan while massaging GMan’s neck and then gave him meds to help as per Dr. Ryan. GMan is now in a stall for observation.

Choke is a horrible thing. If he is no better this afternoon Dr. Ryan will come out. I really don’t want GMan to have to be tubed but if the lump is still there we will need to have it done. The lump is smaller now then it was this morning but it is still there.

Sincerely,
Theresa
