I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts for little Frodo. He’s been having a real tough time the last few days and is non-weight bearing on his left front foot. Dr. Barrett was here once again, yesterday, and when he pulled off Frodo’s little clog, he discovered an abscess! It’s oozing out very slowly. We put a boot on Frodo with AnimalIntex to help draw out the abscess, so hopefully, he will soon, feel much better.
Frodo took an indirect lightning strike two years ago and thankfully, survived, but not without experiencing lasting neurological issues. Sadly, he did founder after the strike but he’s a happy go lucky little guy, nonetheless, and we will get this taken care of, I’m sure.
Victoria, another of our precious horses, also took an indirect lightning strike a few years ago and had similar issues. Sadly, she did not survive. She simply, was unable to recover from the founder as she was a sinker, but we loved her enough to let her go to Rainbow Bridge. She was a beautiful mare and was so very loved.
Frodo could also use some help with today’s vet needs as well as with his last vet/farrier visit when x-rays were done and special clogs were made just for him.
A wonderful friend and supporter has come forth, however, and has generously offered to match all donations up to $300 for Frodo as well as Coggins for a number of our horses.
If anyone would like to assist with these needs, donations may be submitted by clicking the ‘Donate’ button below. Please note that your donation is for the ‘Match Game’ for Frodo.
Thank you, all, and please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa
