Though I still have not taken pics of the little guy to share. The verdict today is guarded optimism. We know there are still many hurdles to climb BUT his IGG came back at 800 proteins good white count just a bit low and we think he is finally latching on though not perfectly yet. He is following a semi regular pattern of trying to nurse and sleeping in the shirmp position but we know how fast they can go backward so wont say for sure he will live at the moment He did learn overnight how to lay down by himself. Before this we were going in and laying him down every so often. He still sleeps standing up some of the time. Vet was here this AM and called at noon and will be in touch again later this afternoon. He is on preventative antibiotics and we will be adding carafate probably. He is a pseudo dummy foal and could easily have been a red bag as placenta had separated though he did not present as a red bag. plus he had alot of cranial pressure due to the angle his head was in. Thank you all who have continued good thoughts and prayers for Harvey and please keep the prayers coming as we surely arent out of the woods yet but have seen some improvement.
Thanks again
