Well, the new computer is going to be a red and white pinto with one blue eye and one brown one, it appears. The vet and the farrier will be getting all my computer money due to Bonfire’s lameness. And at the same time!
They are coming out tomorrow morning to confer about the best way to trim him–and to sedate him and get him off his feet so he CAN be trimmed. He can’t pick the bad leg up high enough for it to be trimmed without hurting him, and he can’t put the weight on the bad leg to pick up the good leg long enough for a trim on that hoof. So, we put him out and lie him down, so he won’t have to worry about either. And maybe get some rest for that good leg while he’s down! With three of us, we shouldn’t have a problem getting him back up. He weighs less than 200 lbs, after all!
Still a roller coaster with him. One day, he improves, the next he un-improves. Why is it that everyone I love makes me crazy???? (And some on purpose!) (But how crazy would I be if I loved no one?)
My thoughts are with him and you and all the moral support I can muster for the skill of the Vets.
