Had the vet out again this morning to look at Andromeda (bay filly) in particular. She injured herself two nights ago on her left hind hock and it looks pretty bad. Anyway, we had cleaned it and wrapped it Sunday night, but my vet cleaned it again this morning with some Chlorhexidine solution, then applied gauze with Nolvasan ointment and bandaged over the gauze. She also cleaned and treated her butt gash, which is looking so much better! But anyway, we now need to give Andromeda banamine for pain and swelling every morning and change her bandage, cold water hose the wound, clean it out, etc. every morning as well. Additionally, we have both fillies on Albuterol twice a day for their coughing/congestion. Hopefully it all helps! I can't believe Romy injured herself in their pen. On a PANEL nonetheless. I can't help but feel it is my fault, but there's no use blaming myself now. At least we got the vet out and are treating it. Hoping no proud flesh develops. Thankfully the wound wasn't deep, and also thankfully she got her tetanus antitoxin last week. Oh, both fillies got some more Equistem + B12 this morning.
Aside from that, both fillies were de-wormed over the weekend with Equimax (so was my 5 week old filly Remedy) and Firefly and Romy are becoming easier to catch, handle, and approach. They seem to be learning to trust me and I think they like being pet. I know where Firefly's itchy spot is and I know Romy is ok with me if she can sniff my head and gets pet on the muzzle first. They are both such curious fillies!
Pat and I are going to work on getting a new shelter put up for them asap. I can't wait until our new pasture is up either! It will be SO nice. Lots of grass and a bigger area for the fillies. It will be the "weaning" pen when weaning time comes for Remedy. She will be weaned with Firefly and Romy. Then Goldie and Serenity can be together in the big pasture.
Some exciting news - - - Our rescue cat Ash (rescued May 10th) finally had her kitten on Sunday at about 8:20 a.m.!!!!! He is a healthy (as far as I can tell) boy and he looks like a miniature Ash! He is gray and white like Ash, and has a tiger striped tail and white paws like mama, but has a white face unlike Ash. I was hoping she would have two kittens, but I'm just happy she had a live kitten and he doesn't appear to have brain damage from her getting vaccinated with the live FVRCP vaccine in May. I will put a pic of him up soon. I need to introduce all my pets one of these days. We have too many right now, but our foster cat will be getting adopted out soon and I'm looking for a new home for my rabbit.
