Medical Sterling - 11/11 auction save, 23-yr-old gray gelding, emaciated. Weight gain diet. Came up lame right hind during blizzard, stall rest to observe and will see vet when roads are clear if it doesn't improve.
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 1/3 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 - 16-yr-old TB gelding, 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.
Nelly - 34-yr-old Arabian mare, choke. Nelly has a history of choke and had a severe episode last week. Though she managed to clear it she continues to cough when eating and her appetite is low. Continued banamine as needed, soaked feed and observation.
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.
