Cinnamon. Rescue mare: **FILLY**!!!!!!!!!

[amystours]

Got Bute for Ike, vet gave several good pointers, so hopefully will get better soon.

Cinnamon is having a hard time controlling her kid!

Here's daughter (and she's only TWELVE)

Poor Ike, feet problems are the worst

Cin will probably start to chill about her baby in the next few weeks, most of the time they are very clingy in the start and as baby starts to explore further and further they start to relax about the distance.

Hope you have a BIG stick behind the door for the boys!

Daughter is gorgeous!

Your baby is too precious.

 

TOOOOOO CUTE!!!! Just love when the babies run their mommas around the pasture trying out their legs!! WONDERFUL video!!

Daughter is very pretty, and I'll bet she just loves this little one!

Question...this baby bites ALL the time. From chewing on your sleeve to flat out biting my hand. Is this teething already? At what point do we start correcting this habit? If her gums hurt, I don't mind rubbing them for her, but don't want to end up with a chronic biter either! What is the best way to correct/reprimand a foal this age? For any bad mannerisms? For instance, climbing in my lap? All I did was push her away, but the *main* reason was because I didn't want Cinnamon in my lap too!

Yes, most babies bite a lot of the time, plus they put anything in their mouths just to taste and chew! She really is too young to do anything about it in my opinion, they seem to grow out of it anyway, but for the moment you can just push her away (or put up with it LOL!!)

Love the videos, she really is a little livewire isn't she! But poor Ike, bless him - hope you can get to the bottom of what is troubling him soon - not easy to see from the video, but it looks as though it could be more in the heel area rather than the toe, could he have trodden on something that has penetrated his frog or his heel - even a small piece of flint or something similar? At least it doesn't look like laminitis or founder!

Sending him big ((((HUGS)))) he's such a handsome boy.

 

[cassie]

soo cute! they both seem to be having so much fun

hope your precious Ike, is feeling better very soon

 

[Eagle]

As Anna has said babies bite and chew on anything available, even humans lol

It is just a phase like human babies putting everything in their mouths, don't worry it will pass and doesn't mean she will be a biter. One of my colts did it until he was about a year but he would never bite now. Well he would probably still bite the dog

Those two would play and bite each other for hours

How is Ike doing today?

 

[amystours]

Hey, and thanks! Just didn't know what she was up to!! It doesn't bother me at all (yet anyway), but I could watch her and let her do that all day! I was laying flat out in the grass, on my tummy trying to get a video. Baby ran straight for me, then Mom said she was about to walk on my back. I got up quick, because I didn't want Cin on my back too! I sound like such a country bumpkin in those videos!

Farrier came out again last night with hoof testers. Found an absess. He nicked a place in the hoof, and we had Ike stand in a bucket of hot water and epsom salt for about 20 minutes. After that, we put ichthamol (sp?) on it, packed it with gauze and then wrapped with vet wrap and duct tape. I gave him a Bute tab before farrier got there, and it seemed to take the edge off. He also got 10 ccs of penicillin and a tetanus. Plan today is to give another Bute this morning and clean and redress this evening with another Bute and another dose of penicillin. They are saying absess should blow either tonight or tomorrow. When it does, we are supposed to soak gauze in betadine, pack it, and wrap it up. Gracious goodness! Just praying it comes out the bottom and not around the band. Ben also said it's been much harder on Ike since he has foundered before and has a dropped sole. He said every time he steps, he's putting pressure right on it, whereas on a horse that hasn't foundered, it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Poor baby

thank goodness you are right on it. Your babies are so lucky.

Cin's baby needs a name, lol

 

[Eagle]

I loved Bree's suggestion of Cinsational, your could call her Sassy. Lol

 

Poor Ike. So good to know that it's an abscess and not some other type of injury. At least we know abscesses will heal. Praying it will come through the sole and not the band, So much easier on them when that happens.

Oh, a name! I do like Cinzational, and Sassy seems appropriate for the little pistol!

 

[Wings]

I hate abscesses, the only good thing about them is how treatable they are! Give Ike a hug from us for being such a trooper.

On the baby biting front I generally ignore them unless they go for skin or get rough, then I just gently push the muzzle away, maybe yelp if they get skin. As the others have said they generally grow out of it.

 

[amystours]

I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but I don't feel like waiting an hour for a video to upload to photobucket. I believe it is the third post down on my page...

I took this early this morning, and was about to die laughing!

If the link doesn't work, my name is Amy Tynes Hastings on Facebook. I can't figure anything out anymore!

Oh, and don't miss the head-on collision at the end!

 

Link doesn't work for me, and I don't do FB. Maybe someone who does can help. Looking forward to seeing it!

 

[amystours]

Uh oh. Let me try something else!

Maybe this is the link:

www.facebook.com/amystours

In the meantime, I set it up to download to photobucket. May take a while, though.

 

NOOOOO!!!! Go get some rest! Figure it out tomorrow! There's no rush -- I'll just be looking forward to it!! LOL

 

[AnnaC]

I'll have to wait for photobucket too as I dont do facebook either. So glad you found what was causing Ike's foot problem, bless him. I'm not sure what the things are that you are using to treat his foot, over here we just slap on an animal lintex pad which is brilliant for drawing stuff down and out of feet - back in the 'old' days we used to have to rely on a bran and Epsom salt poultice to draw things out of horses feet, I remember being sooooooooooo glad when animal lintexes arrived, so much more simple! LOL!!

Hoping all goes well for your handsome man and that the abscess blows downwards for him very soon, it must feel so painful poor boy.

Sending ((((HUGS)))) for our brave man.

 

[Eagle]

Yes Anna animal Lintex is such a godsend, so easy to use and works wonderfully. Can you get it in the states Amy? I am sending prayers for poor Ike

I am looking forward to seeing the video

 

[amystours]

Here yall go!!!!
