Out to Pasture

Well he's out to pasture now with his old pal, Jack. The two of them are sick with snotty noses and hacking coughs. I can't lunge him a whole lot since he's sick but his scrotum isn't too terribly swollen and it's still draining pretty good. He's getting 14 antibiotic pills a day and Jack is getting 16. They have a little grass to nibble on. With all the coughing and yacking I don't want them to choke on their hay so I'm just letting them graze. He's on a high fat feed so hopefully we'll see an improvement in his weight soon. He's like a big slow puppy dog, he'll let me drag him around, fly spray his hooty hah, pick his feet, whatever. Both ponies eat their medicine in their food unlike picky, finicky Jasper. The vet will have the lab results back by Wednesday so we'll know for sure what Jack, Jessie, Rue, and Black have.



I don't know, I think maybe he's put a little weight on. We are introducing salt back into his diet, slowly. Here he is licking his salt block. He was deficient.



4 Days Later



I think when it's all said and done he's going to have a decent little butt on him.



He has a very pretty tail with the exception of where the ponies chewed on it.
