Since I cant sleep I thought I would give an update.
I truely appreciate all the kinda words and prayers. I am still in shock over this whole ordeal. Words just cant discribe it. I have never seen such a thing and never want to again. I am really thankful for the small horse community we have around here for taking in some of my horses in for a fews days so we can clean up the mess and repair all the damage to the fences. It's a mess.
The game warden came out and took the bear and examined it while he was here. And it happened to be a momma bear which probably has cubs. So he brought some traps out tonight and set them up. He seems to think that they my come back looking for mom. So we are on high alert tonight. He will come back in the am to check them out. I hope for the cubs sake that we do catch them and take them away from here. I know my neighbors are on the look out for them also. I just dont want anything bad to happen to the cubs. They didnt ask for any of this, as did I. The momma bear is also going to be sent away to be tested for rabies. Which neither I nor the game warden think was wrong with her. We think it was hunger from just waking up and having cubs. But it will be nice to know.
My boy seems to be resting as comfortable as possible tonight. He finally ate a little of his mash and drank some water. He is a little more alert than he was earlier. He had a really bad reaction to the rompom(sp) the vet gave him to lay him down to stitch him up. I have never seen such a thing in my life. It went straight to his brain which caused him to have a seizure. He was up one min the next second he went stiff, fell over and started seizing. It about scared the life out of me. I had never seen a horse do that before, and i have seen some pretty messed up stuff.
Have any of you ever experienced this before??? Or do I just have all the luck?
Thanks again everyone! You guys are GREAT!
Oh and another question has anyone had to deal with an injury like this one with the tendon severed? And how did the horse make out? I'm going to try to pic again. I dont think it worked the last post. So I will try again.
