I am very nervous! Duckling found out that the incubator is plugged in. She might add some eggs when I'm not looking!

Dax this is for you, the Prezwalski horse, the only true wild horse species left in the world.

Those are beautiful. I love buckskin coloring on horses. Then I found a new love for the Rocky Mountain horses!

Vet was out here tonight. She got me the bute powder, but there's a lump on the horses side. she's going to ask around to see who can do horse labs, and where to send them, and where to dispose of a horse.

She said she'd rate the horse a 7/10 1 being the best, 10 being the worst.

The horse is willing to eat, but not drink - even the "sweet feed" tea we've been marking her, she'll slurp out the water and spit the water out on the ground to get to the sweet feed. So, drinking is going to be a MAJOR problem for her, if she continues to refuse to drink water.

It's going to get 100-110 in just a few weeks, and I NEED her to drink water

She said she could give her fluids via a nose tube, and IV fluids - but those are "temporary" solutions. We are going to give her a week on the pain meds, and see about doing labs to see what else might be going on - she wants her to be a 5 by next thursday, or better.

If she's not.......... then she told us to start preparing to say goodbye
