What a week! We’ve been holding off on sharing some news about our sweet Minnie until we had as much information as possible but now that she’s home we don’t feel right not sharing what she’s currently dealing with any longer.

Minnie began with some mild but abnormal symptoms about a week ago. She was having a hard time chewing her food, excessive drooling, and just over all what seemed like discomfort in her mouth. We spoke with her vet and of course it was Easter Sunday so we decided to monitor her. Her symptoms were on and off through the following day but seemed to get better as the week progressed. We talked about bringing her to New Bolton earlier in the week if things didn’t get better before her doctor could check her out. Her vet came out and cleared Minnie on physical exam. Her vitals were all normal and her oral issue had resolved completely.

The following morning Minnie began passing blood clots in her manure. We watched her closely and it continued to happen over 24 hours. At this point we took her to New Bolton. We approved test after test and everything was coming back normal. She was on IV fluids to help with hydration and on some different medications to help with her comfort levels. The only thing that was suspicious was an ultrasound and re**al scope procedure that they preformed. Per her team, it was hard to see any abnormalities BUT something didn’t look right. Really long story short, Minnie had exploratory surgery Tuesday afternoon. She was diagnosed with Abdominal Fat Necrosis. Basically she has an excess amount of fat in her abdomen that is necrotizing. In her case, the fat around her colon is so damaging that it caused an obstruction. We’ve gotten several opinions on how this happened to Minnie and unfortunately there’s no known cause for her case. Her condition is so completely rare that there’s little to no treatment.

What does this mean for Minnie moving forward? The truth is we have no idea. We’ve made a plan with her care team and brought her home on a strict diet. The type of fat that Minnie has cannot be removed but in some cases it has shrunk. We plan to continue to love Minnie every single day until she begins to decline and at that time we will do the kindest thing we can for her and that will be humane euthanasia.

Minnie has known nothing but love, kindness, and respect her entire life. She’s been the backbone of this rescue and a huge reason as to why we do what we do. Minnie’s journey isn’t over just yet, and even know we have no idea if the day will come in weeks, months, or years, we plan to spend every single moment we have with her just like we always have; loving her endlessly.

Please feel free to ask questions! We will try to answer them to the best of my ability. We know Minnie has touched a lot of lives and we know that we aren’t the only ones that are struggling with the news.

How is our last little baby moo already 2?!?!

We brought Howie home about two years ago. We were in PA visiting family and somehow, someway we ended up picking this guy up on our way home in the back of the RAV4. His original owners had purchased him for meat but ended up not having the time to raise him.

We got so lucky to have fallen into his path. He keeps our Minnie great company and is always causing so much trouble. He has the biggest heart and loves loving anything and anyone that will allow him to do so. We are so grateful for our time with our sweet Howie and can’t wait to celebrate him in the morning with donuts

We did Momma and Linty time today (look at hims teefs)! I also got to spend some time with my big girl, Glo.

Mr. Lint is getting castrated next Thursday, after that we are hoping to be done with the vet for a whole year for him🥰

A long awaited Lint Update!!!!

Things get so busy and before I know it a week has passed BUT Mr. Lint is doing great. He’s been recovering for the past couple of weeks and is due to be castrated sometime soon. He’s getting around great for short periods of time and knows just when he needs a break. He’s getting so big🥰

Baby Lint got a new t-shirt this evening after his baba🍼🐸🛹

***Trigger warning: his incision is shown towards the end ***

Lint has blown us away with his progress. Everyday he gets stronger. He rests most of the day but does get some supervised outside time. Today Lint had the opportunity to play in the grass after his bottle and once he got tired he spent sometime in the sun snuggled with his momma. We’ve mentioned it before with other critters, but I’m almost positive that this little guy is so grateful for his second shot at life! He does so well on 3 legs. 🧡

🌟LINT IS HOME🌟

Well actually he’s at The Little Farm where he will spend a week until we can officially bring him home for good! We decided to keep him there so he could be close to me during the work day, I’ll be just a call or text away. We also felt this would be the easiest way to keep things clean and sanitary throughout his recovery.

He seems so happy to be back with his family, even though he’s not home I’ll be stopping in to see him 2-3 times daily while he’s there. Lint currently has a bandage covering his sutures that should fall off in just a couple days. We will keep the area covered with a t-shirt until the sutures start to absorb. Other then that lint is good to go!

We can’t thank everyone enough for the continued support with Lint’s case. This boy is the sweetest baby and genuinely seems very grateful🧡

Mick’s color was always orange and I hate to bring it out of retirement so soon but man does it seem so fitting.

🚨LINT UPDATE🚨

Y’all have blown us away with support in regards to Lint’s case! We’ve met our fundraiser goal❤️ this is a huge relief for us. Thanks to all the donations we have recieved we get to just focus on Lint’s recovery from here.

We will be traveling to New Bolton Center sometime tomorrow morning to bring Mr. Lint back to his home. He’s one leg lighter BUT from what I’ve heard he hasn’t skipped a beat. His care team at New Bolton had to put a mirror in his stall to keep him from being so lonely.

We are so so excited to watch little Lint grow and we can’t wait to share his milestones with his support system! Don’t forget to like, share, and follow our page to keep up on updates moving forward❤️

Once Lint is home and settled tomorrow I plan to make a video of him to share!
