Grannys Backyard Chicks
Songster
It is POURING today. And the weather is just miserably perfect for a perfect miserable day.
Went outside at 7 AM to feed animals only to find one of our mares down in the front pasture. I thought she was dead... She wasn't but we can't get her to even lift her head. It's not colic so I don't have a clue what is wrong with her. We've called FIVE different vets and no one can come until later this evening. We are expecting severe storms, flash flooding, etc... Out of desperation, I talked DH into trying to use a gate panel to get her back to the barn. We rolled her onto it and then used our full size truck to drag the panel to the barn. Thankfully we got her under the safety of the barn before the downpour hit. But it is heartbreaking watching her gasp for every breath and not know how to help her... She has been given Banamine and Xylazine to help sedate her. Just have to sit idly by and wait another hour and a half for a vet to come by

I am new here and already feel like am part of your family because you share daily life. I also learn so much from the knowledge shared about chicken, gardening, ect. Anytime I have a question this is where I look. Thank you all for sharing.@sandburRanch, we do talk a LOT about gardening. Lots of us have been here a long time, so we talk about all kinds of other subjects too.
Jump in with a garden question or observation any time.
