Coffee anyone ?

[promiseacres]

coffee is on.
have a zoom meeting and a new internet providing coming this afternoon for set up. And John's horse Daisy is sick... started about supper time last night, she has a fever and nasal discharge... and this morning a lump under her throat.... ugh. so I am guessing it's Strangles.

 

[Baymule]

Oh no. Poor Daisy. She is about to get real sick, she can survive with good care, call the vet. The little chestnut gelding we have, Prince, had strangles before we bought him. He wasted away to a shadow, but was on the upswing when we bought him. Big hugs to you and Daisy.

Good news on the internet provider, out in the country you don't get much choice, if any at all. The trees here are so tall that even a tower doesn't help us, so satellite it is. I hope this improves your internet service for you.

@Baymule, called the vet already. they had me take a photo. I also tried to check her teeth and her mouth is very "smelly" like infection. I am almost wondering if she has an abscess (tooth or thorn from the hay???)
Gave her some banamine for the fever. She's eating fine.

 

[Baymule]

I know she will be well cared for.

I hope it's just a bad tooth and not strangles.

Hope it's a tooth! Wouldn't be eating well with strangles, normally.

Working all week at a store 40 miles out...long days! But this will most likely be last of these total store rework this year. We are all experienced workers so moving right along!! Makes it good as we will earn more per hr....as we get pd all hours assigned the job, even if done in less time. It's our "bonus" so to say. No untrained to watch, rework.

So -- with earlier start and chores just as it lightens, coffee is critical! sure do love this good travel mug!!! I'm thinking these events are something I may want to limit -- then the pay is so good when it goes well like this. . Maybe if only in summer!

Hope everyone is well.

Coffee is on. Kid's are having eggos?.. compliments of a friend.
Daisy didn't have a fever when the vet got here as she had the banamine. He looked good at her mouth and didn't see any thorns or teeth issues. He is treating her for a Rhinovirus. We vaccinate for that but it's only good 6 months. maybe something I need to revaccinate for in the fall.
27° F sigh winter is here I guess. The Internet guys didn't bring what they needed to set things up, and weren't confident any longer of the signal. somehow I expected that.
So co-p today then more hay, just got 4 the other day. And the rabbit cages are cleaned.

Same temps here.....brrrrrr 27.....they say to 50ish later...?

Off to work in a few. . Kinda ok but, kinda want to go snuggle back into covers. It'll all be ok by time I get there.

Everyone was glad to see me this morning -- always are when I have that bucket.

Gotta go ... Enjoy your day.

Thanks for the coffee, we had oatmeal for breakfast. It sure sticks to the ribs, won't be hungry for a good while. Cold here too, up in the 50's later today. We got 1 1/2" of rain yesterday. That will help the clovers and rye grass grow for early spring grazing.

Glad the vet thinks Daisy doesn't have strangles, hope she gets better.

First hard frost today. Hopefully will thaw out by tonight. As usual I feel totally not prepared. Why does something always come up as you’re going to get ready for winter? Anyway, have to reenforce a goat shelter and take apart part of one for another shelter. Poor geese are frosted, do you guys force them to bed? Mine have never had a separate pen (except when they were sick) and have never wanted one, but they just don’t take shelter. I also have a bunch of holes to fill, but I think my wheelbarrow tire is getting wonky so uh oh. Hope y’all have a great December.
