Reina, Baymule’s Horse

[Baymule]

Everything go well with the appt. today?

Reina only has a sinus infection. NO pneumonia, NO strangles. She hasn’t been sneezing or coughing, her lungs are clear, throat is clear, just a sinus infection. Then she was sedated for her teeth floating. Her molars, top and bottom, both sides had sharp edges. The vet filed her teeth down and now she can chew her food. Clean bill of health except for snotty nose and she got a whalloping dose of antibiotics.

The vet and vet tech both thought Reina was a nice horse, just needs some groceries.

Reina loaded right up and when we got there, backed out. I had a pocket of treats…..

Good that she’s used to a trailer!

She has done alot better than most in her situation. I think she might be a little "gun shy" for a day or 2 after what all was done, but it seems she has some common sense. Her condition might be in part to the sharp teeth and not being able to eat like she should have. Now at least you know that she is as good as she can be health wise and all she needs is love and treats and good food.

Good for you BOTH......

She was glad to see me this morning. The vet tech showed me pictures of her mare’s transformation from skinny to slick, shiny and healthy in less than 4 months. She fed her Nutrena Performance horsefeed. So I bought a bag and will start mixing it with what she’s getting now, to switch her over. I’ll start her on it tonight.

I slept late, to 8:00! Had a text from therapist that doctor signed papers to extend my therapy, could I come in at 9:30? Sure I can!
I hurried through chores, changed into town clothes, scarfed down a bowl of cereal, NO COFFEE, and left. Had a headache from no coffee. Now, at 12:53, I have coffee .
I got 6 bags of feed for the sheep, put in back seat because of rain. Unloaded, came in and got my coffee.
Got a storm coming, sister called to warn me. Said it’s done a lot of damage In Oklahoma. Great. I think I’ll feed early.

Glad nothing serious is wrong!

I’ve been grazing Reina in the yard and other areas. She is getting better about the halter. Son said to put halter on her before feeding her. No halter, no feed. So I have, amazing how she will let me put the halter on her so she can eat! LOL

I grazed her in the yard for awhile today. She didn’t come to me, but didn’t walk away when I walked up with the halter. She got a treat. She was grazing and I slung the end of the lead rope over her back. She startled and tried to run. I petted and rubbed her, then did it some more. I jiggled the rope, she didn’t like that either. So I did it until she didn’t care. I reassured her often. I swung the end of the lead rope around and she kept a wary eye on it. Has she been hit with a lead rope? Dunno. Is she stupid spooky and always going to spook and want to run? Dunno.

I just noticed the thing holding her chin up. THAT is a handy little thing!
When my girls needed their teeth done the vet came to the farm and did it in the driveway and my shoulder was the handy thing holding their heads up. It's remarkable how HEAVY their heads become.

It’s worth the trailer trip to take her to the vet so they can have all their handy things like that at hand.

There was a tilt table for cattle, it was HUGE. Just never thought about a tilt table for cattle. It seems they need their hooves trimmed sometimes too. Never gave that a thought either. I’ve never known anyone who took their bovine in for a pedicure.
