Magic Update

Prayers answered! I’m a very proud momma! One of the things I really like about Dr. Ryan Meeks is that he listens. He understands that I know Magic better than anyone. We did things just the way I suggested in order to keep Magic calm and it went great. When Magic started to get a little upset I asked Dr. Ryan to leave the stall. Magic settled, I reassured him all was well, and then Dr. Ryan came back in. We did that a couple of times and Magic finally calmed. Dr. Ryan agrees that nobody knows their horse better than the primary caregiver. Listening to your horse is just as important as whispering, IMO. Magic was refluxed and oiled. Blood was drawn for various tests.

Dr. Ryan has been very patient with Magic in trying to earn his trust over the past few years and today was a major breakthrough. The last time Dr Ryan tried to work with Magic, Magic almost went over a round pen panel. Magic is not a “normal” horse and can’t be treated as such. He was mentally scared for life before coming to the rescue. He will never forget the things done to him in the past but he is learning to forgive. Bob and Jenny stayed just outside Magic’s area and did just what was asked – I don’t think it could have gone any better. Patience, trust, and teamwork go a long way!

He needs to pass poop. It’s been over 15 hours since he last pooped.

Thank you all for caring – please keep Magic in your prayers. He’s not out of the woods by far.

Sincerely,
Theresa
