Spirit update and Domino donkey ears!

I want to share a quick update on Spirit and share a few pictures from today.

Dr. Ryan examined Spirit today and said he thinks her injuries look better but we all know it is going to take quite awhile for them to heal. She will be getting some laser light therapy which will help in many ways. She is sore and sunburned in areas so massage is out of the question for awhile.

Dr. Ryan examined her eyes again and is going to talk with associates at Peterson & Smith to see if there is any surgical procedure that could potentially help Spirit’s left eye. We are holding onto hope that something can be done. She’s very cooperative when being examined and when her wounds are being treated.

She was taking a siesta after eating her hay.

When I saw storms coming late this evening I asked Marie to spray water on the roof over Spirit’s stall while I was in there with her so she could get used to the noise and know that it was ok. It’s hard to hear anything when it rains due to the rain hitting the metal roof. Spirit seemed a little unsure at first so I talked to her and told her it was ok – just water hitting the roof – and she went back to eating. And then the storms hit – very bad thunder and lightning – but she was fine. I did stay with her for a bit longer and when I left her she was content.

I have to share this picture of Domino and her ears – she’s so cute! I’ve been concerned about Lacey’s weight and appetite. She’s also been getting a little pushy with Dora so I want to try to figure out what is going on. Dr. Ryan pulled blood today to rule out some things and Domino was so curious!

If you have time we encourage you to visit the Horse & Man blog – it’s very informative and this month Spirit is featured!! Thank you Dawn and everyone helping Spirit!

Please keep Spirit in your prayers. God bless and thank you!
