ANOTHER 911 or tiny baby. 15 hours of icy, snowy, sketch roads to get there

As usual, there is never even time to grieve the loss of those we love.
Last night I received a 911 call for an orphan foal. What would normally take about 9-10 hours ended up taking up about 15 hours, due to the horrible conditions from the winter weather. I had no choice but to jump in the truck and head out asap. I am exhausted and really wanted to go hide for a few days, not drive myself through storms and winter weather. But it had to be done, so off I went.
I arrived to meet Lou, (named after our beloved Lisa Lou Ussery, who just passed from a tragic car crash). He was not able to stand up and the folks thought he might be paralyzed in the back end. He was severely dehydrated, cold, damp and shaking like crazy. It was obvious he was in shock, and a great deal of pain, yet he was kind of playful and ALWAYS wanted his groceries. (ie. milk lol)
Mama Mel, Cam and Jaysun loaded him into the trailer. I drove as quickly as I safely could, again due to ugly road conditions, straight to Goldendale Vet Clinic. Time was of the essence. We either jumped in and went for it or euthanized him. Watching him shake while you looked at the horrible injuries was heartbreaking. He shook and shook and shook, in spite of having a high temp of 103.3 He was clearly in shock and his leg looked broken. He needed Plasma (the life saving Colostrum. It is crazy expensive, but lifesaving where needed.
He received fluids, the Plasma, antibiotics, anti inflammatory meds, ulcer meds, pain meds and the list goes on. Up until I left, he was unable to stand on his front leg or his back legs. Yet the whole time he was begging for his milk and drank several portions. As Doc said, "He Sure Wants to Live and is a Real Fighter." When I left, I asked Doc and she said he has a 50/50 chance, but man does he want to live.
This is excruciatingly expensive, but was his only chance. His leg injuries were clearly caused by a rope, and thankfully the leg is not busted, although it might be permanently damaged if we can even save our boy.
When you see that kind of fight, and especially when the condition was human caused, all you can do is pray hard, donate and share his story.


Thank you as always.
Hugs & love, Palomino
