MoonShadow and Dora short update…

Things have been very busy here – as usual. Fortunately, MoonShadow is doing well and has not had any setbacks with his colic. We truly thought we were going to be going to the hospital this past Saturday evening. He gave us quite the scare.

This is Dr. Paul examining MoonShadow. He tubed and oiled him.

He really wasn’t feeling well at all.

Saturday was a big day here – volunteers came in to clean out the barn aisle way – which is quite the task! Spider webs seem to grow overnight! Jenny and others are preparing for the Celebration of Life Day. If you plan on attending please RSVP me at bhfer – it would be a great day to come out and meet the horses and us humans!

Dora is doing better each day but her mom is getting a little cabin fever. Dora’s hips and back legs have been a bit weak and unsteady since she was born. So until her hips/legs are ready – she is confined to her stall. For the first day or so she kind of hopped around like a bunny. But now she is actually putting one leg in front of the other. Her backend is still low and weak but it appears to be coming up, slowly. Dr. Ryan will be assessing her again in a week but today I saw a noticeable improvement in her using her back legs.

I’ll get pictures of both Dora and MoonShadow tomorrow. I meant to take more today but I got a late start into the day here at the rescue because I started physical therapy again and once I got home one thing after another kept coming up. I’m off to try to get to bed early tonight – another big day tomorrow.

Thank you all for your continued support – have a great night!
