I’d like to ask for prayers for Ladybug. She was colicky earlier today. I’ll be so glad when the temperatures improve.

Ladybug is a mare who came to Beauty‘sHaven in 2009 after she was attacked by a wild cat. Sadly, we were unable to save her ear, but thankfully, we saved her life.

Dr. Rullan was called out and after he arrived, he discovered that he was unable to tube LadyBug because she would not swallow. He then scoped her and found swelling and infection – she does have seasonal allergies. She received antibiotics and several liters of fluids. After finishing the last of her IV fluids for the night (she was quite dehydrated), LadyBug was resting comfortably.

LadyBug’s injuries were simply horrific when she first arrived at Beauty‘s Haven. If you would like to view her Album, just click here, but please be forewarned, some of the images are quite graphic.

This is one of the less graphic photos taken a few days after her arrival.

We’re very thankful that Dr. Rullan was able to respond right away this afternoon. LadyBug was certainly uncomfortable for awhile. So, now we pray that the issue resolves. LadyBug is about thirty years young and is one of the sweetest mares you could ever hope to meet. Please pray for a full recovery and a calm night. We will update in the morning. Thank you all!
