Yea For Survie!






Well Survie has made it more than a month and his wounds are really looking great! He did have a touch of something last week and looked thin for a few days but after some meds he is right back to his playful self and acts like foals his age.. He is still worried about anything touching his behind and try's to kick anything that touches him in rear.. Being attacked by another horse to this degree most likely would make anything scared so we aren't getting after him just trying to stay clear of those hoofs till he is fully healed and maybe forgets some of the attack.. Besides that when we get him haltered he is just fine on front end with people.. I do believe he doesn't much care for me since I have to hose down his wounds, catch him, and give him nasty tasting meds.. He is pretty cute and wants to be in with foal next to him but that will be a week or more down the road as we don't want him getting those almost healed owies all opened up... His mom is being a angel to since we have had to trailer them many times. And of course for hose downs of his owies we take her out and tie her, she picked up the routine fast and never fusses while away from foal(foal on other hand so fusses missing mom LOL)... I can't tell the extent if much scares he will have on neck, but his butt is healing with a bumpy spot.. They are so much better than before and we are amazed when owies of these kind do so well, the body is a amazing thing..
