Hello Everyone, First of all...THANK YOU so much for all your wonderful support, it means so much to us. Please keep it coming.
This morning I took Huginn's temp before I fed him...it was 99.2 ~! The lowest it's been in a week. ~;9] Huginn was at my Vet's barn this morning at 6:45 for his IV. He also got some Bute to help with the pain he is experiencing. Huginn is still a bit off...looks tired, sore and depressed. I have hay and water all at his nose level, so he doesn't need to bend all the way long to eat & drink. He is not really interested in hay, but he is eating his beet pulp mush. And gazing a bit on pasture grass. I took his temp when I got home from school at 3PM...it was 100.2 and again at 6PM...it was still 100.2. That is a good sign. I'm keeping an eye on his hooves. I am hoping that after tomorrow's IV.....I will see major improvements. My Vet was a bit concerned about the fact that Huginn was so stoic (taking his very high temp into consideration) yesterday. She said she has seen this in Icelandic and draft horses in the past, that it can work against them. BTW....we canceled our camping trip for over the 4th. First time in gosh..maybe 20 years that I will not be riding on the 4th of July. Raven Lucy & Molly, the Girl Doggies Huginn & Dixie Chick, the Back Behind the Barn Ponies Respect ALL Earthlings.
