Rescue Rehab - October 11, 2023

#RehabRoundup - let's check in on the horses currently in rehab at the rescue

🏥Medical 🏥

Pepper - leg wound, week 4 of rehab. Pepper has been turned back out to her regular pasture and is doing very well. Considered out of rehab.

Plucky - laminitic episode, week 3. Started Prascend for Cushings. Her hooves seem to be doing much better, though stall rest is causing some stocking up. She's getting a couple hours of turnout to move as she wishes.

Phoebe - rehab for weight gain. Continues to gain, will consider applications for Pasture Pal placement to an experienced home.

Benny - navicular and weight gain. The recent cold snap did cause him to show some discomfort even on Equioxx. Continued monitoring.

Reba - managed to cut her leg on turnout to a paddock, on stall rest and antibiotics for recovery. Continues to adjust well to her blindness from training.

NEW: Rocky - recent intake due to inability to maintain weight. On weight gain protocol and evaluation.

🥕 Behavior 🥕

Kody - in pasture, calming, and curious. Physical condition fully rehabbed, working on friendliness.

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. Next step: haltering and leading away from friends. Goal: Dakota Showdown 2024 prospect.
