Hopefully the runs last for a short time and the worms are easy to get rid of.

Front with the abcess, after trimming: And, Sinatra and Kokomo taking a nap after their trimmings: Sinatra is still a bit weak and tonight was lying down and had trouble getting up again. His tummy was a bit rumbly too, so he might have been having a mild gas colic. Once he was up though he seemed ok. I wish these boys were just a bit stronger, they still worry me!

Everyone is doing well today, except little Sinatra. This morning he was down again and not wanting to get up, so Dr. Hannah came out and checked on him. He had good gut sounds and was not colicky, but his body temperature was dangerously low - only 95 degrees. So Lily donated her blanket to the cause and now he has two thick blankets on to try and keep him warm. I went to the feed store today and picked up a new blanket for Lily.

Sinatra is doing much better today and spent much more of his time up and eating instead of lying down and worrying me. The extra blanket is keeping him nice and warm and we have heat lamps as a backup if needed. He's just so much scrawnier and weaker than Kokomo..much like little Phoenix is, he is not bouncing back as quickly.

Whew...I am so relieved he's doing a bit better. I was very worried about the little guy. Good boy, Sinatra!!

Up and a bit brighter today, but still running a very low temp. Heat lamps have been installed in both his and Phoenix's stalls and Hannah took bloodwork on both of them today as well. Phoenix was having a harder time today and had to be helped to his feet a couple of times today.

I'll keep them in my prayers. Thank you for all you are doing for them. The picture of Sinatra with his little head against you is too precious. He looks like he is asking you to keep him safe. I know you will. Pam

Sinatra's bloodwork came back and his protein was within normal but he is dehydrated. This morning he was down again and I tried several times to help him to his feet but couldn't get him up, so Valerie is on her way to help. I am very worried about him.
