    How do we manage to get into these situations? Collected another "Slightly Damaged Stray"...

    Hi uk plume and It's ok not to have chickens, lots of people here on BYC don't have any yet. It's a great place to learn. I wish I had joined sooner than I did.

    2DogsFarm, Yes, Gus is very wormy, we will be worming him tomorrow. The vet wanted to give him a week after his surgery to rest up and heal a bit due to the severity of the surgery, wanted to stress him as little as possible. As far as the cost; the vet we used gave us a break in the price...

    oh yeah, I forgot the funny part of today. The vet gave Gus some paste... horse tranquilizer and anti-inflammatory stuff. Supposed to be pretty powerful. Anyway, Em said she couldn't get the cap off so she pulled it off with her teeth. She said some got in her mouth. She's been in a pretty...

    Well, Em got Gus his meds and he's acting like himself again. Looking out of the barn over the hallway gate, ears up, interested in what's going on and feeling much better. A little light exercise (walking) and he is still eating good and is calm and relaxed. I'm no pro trainer and don't claim...

    How do we manage to get into these situations? Collected another "Slightly Damaged Stray"...

    Yes, I agree Em, it is sad. But the really sad part is that Gus is just one horse. There are thousands in this country that are in just as bad shape or worse. We can't save them all. But we are darn sure trying to save one. I guess in a way I see some of myself in Gus. If someone hadn't...

    How do we manage to get into these situations? Collected another "Slightly Damaged Stray"...

    Wisher; the vet said with the surgery Gus had that he had to stay pretty still so he wouldn't tear out his stitches. Today he said we could start walking him a little, but I think his main worry is although Gus looks all calm and gentle in the pictures - he's been a full male so long he's pretty...

    Wow! Thanks Tani. That's really good! Like Em said, they'll be framed and hung where everyone who visits Gus will be sure and see them.

    Thanks. We are sure going to give him the best life we can. At least he'll have plenty to eat, be cared for, looked after and loved.

    How do we manage to get into these situations? Collected another "Slightly Damaged Stray"...

    George, you know me. I am a sucker for things that are sad and suffering. The smart thing would have been to let the guy shoot Gus or at least have him put down myself... but I seldom do the smart thing. And I firmly believe the smart thing and the right thing are sometimes different. I don't...

    You just HAD to go and name him didn't you? I still don't know who put the "collects slightly damaged strays" title on me..... but boy oh boy don't it fit? If we get him in shape I think he'll be worth it. Maybe. At least he won't starve to death and he'll be feed, wormed, his feet fixed...
