#RehabRoundup - let's check in on the horses currently in rehab at the rescue
Sugar - completed rehab from her surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her vulva. Is back on normal turnout and ready for a home!
🏥Medical 🏥
Rocky - technically not on rehab, just weight gain, but I put him in the video so better list him here! Dentals done12/15
Sterling - 11/11 auction save, 23-yr-old gray gelding, emaciated. Weight gain diet. QT done 12/2. Dental done 12/15
Cinna - 11/11 auction save, 5-yr-old QH gelding, swollen/injured leg. X-rays showed no bone or joint injury, just a large untreated wound. Scheduled for surgery on 12/27 to open the wound and remove scar tissue to encourage healing and decrease the size of the leg. Consider a donation to help: https://givebutter.com/cinnasurgery
Benny - navicular/lameness. Lameness seems more in left hind/right front, and left hind had a tendon injury, so continued rest and will revisit treatment and options in spring if he doesn't get better.
Charlie - struggling with his heaves/COPD when eating from round bales. Moved to pen for separate feeding from square bales
Reba - had some lameness on that older knee injury this week, had stall rest and antibiotics. Seems to be doing well, so back to normal turnout
Nelly - had a choke incident that took a significant amount of time to resolve and required a vet visit. Seems to be doing well today.
🥕 Behavior 🥕
Lucy - in pasture, calm and friendly. Much calmer when bonded friends removed from pasture and accepting attention even in a group of friends without aggression. Has been accepting the halter over her nose and not showing any aggression when her friends are removed and actively seeking attention from people. Goal: Dakota Showdown 2024 prospect.
Kody - in pasture, calming, and curious. Physical condition fully rehabbed, working on friendliness. Is being caught and brought in, and had his first (lightly sedated) meeting with the farrier.
