Amy (JC: Perfect Art) and baby…
A good first day on earth for our sweet baby… oh how I love him already.
Amy needs to be cleaned up so badly, I hate the shavings stuck literally everywhere, but it’s so unbelievably, uncomfortably, miserably hot that with all she’s been through she doesn’t really want to be messed with atm. Tomorrow, I told her. There’s always tomorrow…
We had our vet team out on Thursday afternoon for Amy’s recheck and she was still pretty unwell, that cough wasn’t going away and the antibiotics she was on weren’t touching it. So we bumped up her medications and by last night she was feeling substantially better, the cough (and slight fever she’d been running) was completely gone. I had a feeling baby was coming, she really had perked up a lot.
Our vet is due out later for a check, mama took a bit to pass her placenta but it made its way out and we’re in good shape now. Best to be sure about it all.
Little baby has done everything right. He gets up, he nurses he wiggles and wobbles around, he sleeps, he talks, he has started to play a bit. He is friendly with us and loves to be scratched. He wore his little halter for a few minutes and was perfect when we put it on and took it off. And I still think he’s going to be gray.
We still haven’t reached our June hay goal and since Thursday we’ve only received $100 (thank you Patty!) We’re counting our blessings that overall we have a healthy baby, but expenses are higher than normal because of his poor, emaciated and sick mama.
With our now $990 vet bill (including Thursday’s visit) and our hay drive, we are $4,142.19 from goal with $2,847.8 raised so far this month.
