Perjaa had arrived sick and was taking a turn for the worse so we called out vet Dr. Katie Prince. The prognosis was very glim as Persjaa was severly dehydrated and toxic from her long journey. We opted to set up a hospital stall next to the tackroom door. Heather & Holly came down to help administer fluids. Did I mention this is Holly's birthday?!
While we were treating Persjaa, I looked over and saw Sonnet thrashing about her stall. She was colicking very badly and it was evident she was in serious trouble and needed to get to the hospital as qucikly as possible. We opted to send her to Alamo Pintado and proceeded to find a hauler. Did I mention it was pouring down rain??
Dr. Prince insterted a tube in Sonnet to relieve some of her gas and Tallulah & Brooke helped treat Persjaa while we waited for the hauler, Tita.
It was a long, rough and scary night but it was great to be surrounded by supportive friends.
