Its been a while since the last update, but a lot has happened. Friday, Romeo and 4 other horsie buddies broke into the feed room and ate almost 100 lbs of food. Luckily, they all had their stomachs pumped and they are doing just fine. We had a bit of a scare with Ollie; he had to have his stomach pumped again Saturday and is currently on stall rest. We do hear gut sounds and he is pooping and drinking.
Tonight the horses (besides Ollie) are slowly being reintroduced to grain as they've been off it since the stomach pumping. Hopefully all will go well.
Romeo also has a pretty nasty gash, either from briers or a kick from another horse. We put some peroxide on it today and he essentially tried to kill us in the process. So, I cut his grooming short to give him a break and let him go back into the field.
After that I walked Ollie around some, and he drank! Yes! He hadn't been drinking the water in his stall.
More updates to come...
