Just a question - where are our beag1e lovers????

So this is what I understand about the charges. This woman had no prior convictions so the most make can get is a Class A Misdemeanor. Now with this, it is possible for her to get jail time, probation and even being banned from having animals for “x” years. She may get all of those together. We always wish for harder sentencing but this could sting her. The law is the law and we can’t change that right now. I will say this, we win more than we lose but it hurts like hell to lose one, especially ones you try so hard to save. He didn’t make it here in time or it could have been different. Please don’t turn this into a heated discussion. We are taking it easy today as no one got much sleep around here last night. Thanks to our crew for staying with him all night. Now it’s time to put our energy into getting the other 2 ready to go on for adoption!

He didn’t make it. We had to let him go 😢

He’s hooked up to fluids with dextrose to see if that will give him the boost he needs. We have to be real about this and the vet said if he’s not up in 24 hours, so 5pm tomorrow, we will need to let him go. BTW, we are pushing for a felony since there were 3 dead horses there, too. We need to do a little more research on the law.
BTW, Madi, Brandy and Marco are staying the night with him at the barn. They are much younger than me!!

He’s still down then sternal. We have given meds and the mash. We got him rolled over and the vet is here seeing what else we can do. We haven’t had time to read all comments but I did block someone. This isn’t the place to argue and we are in the blocking mood!!!

Has anyone in the Granbury area have Purina Replenimash? Our TSC does not.

As he rests, notice who is lying with him. Jolene 💕 Blue, my coonhound of many years, would always do this. Jolene will probably stay all night with him. We also have cameras on him if we have to walk away for a bit.

He has eaten good and drank a little here and he was standing on the edge of a tank when we picked him up, probably drinking. We are working with vets so we are doing what we should be doing. We asked the vet about fluids and were told that’s not going to help now. He needs energy and time. We will feed him again in a little while. We are also going to turn him to his other side soon. This is a process. We will post again later.

We talked to our vet and he’s pretty optimistic since he has tried to get up several times By the way, it’s a gelding. He has also been on his side and sternal so these are all positive things. The vet said give him a little time and I’m headed inside to get some dex for him. Fingers crossed!!
