Please pray for Wendell

Wendell asked me not to tell anyone, but I know that you have all been such good friends to the crazy horse and me, that I need to fill you in. A few days ago Wendell started showing signs of being sick (again). This isn't exactly like last year, but it matches the timing for the emergence of green grass and the explosive amounts of carbohydrates  that seem to send some horses off the deep end. I'm not entirely sure this is green grass sickness, and it isn't the right fit for laminitis (not exactly). It's entirely possible that he still has Lyme and the spring grass just threw his system out of kilter. I have every reason to believe that we have gotten him up far earlier than last year. My loving, D3, and I got him into the barn three days ago. He's right next door to D2's aging pony. They gossip through the stall boards.

We had to bring him from the pasture to the barn so we could

monitor his food/ water intake, and his bathroom habits. He 

is much easier to medicate when he's in a stall.

You can see that D3 is pulling on his leg in this photo. She had to get a stone 

out of his hoof so he could make it up to the barn.

This picture deeply touches every inch of my being.

Animals and people share such a special bond.

I love both of these critters in the photo(and the drafty in the background too).

This is Wendell in the horspital.

I ask you all to please keep Wendell in your thoughts and prayers. We had to clean out his college fund for the vet visits last spring. I'm using everything I know to do right now. I love this boy and I want to see him well again. He wasn't eating in the pasture, but he is showing a good appetite since we have him up.  I'll keep you posted.
