Hey, you all have been so nice in the past here on the forum, for all of use who need prayers and positive thoughts. Well its my turn.
Guardian had a terrible accident this evening
. He and Cochise was feeling good today because it was 45 degrees and they were doing what they had done every day its been around this temperature, PLAYING!. I noticed out the kitchen window so I went out in hopes to take some great action shots and watch them play as I love seeing the run around, kick, buck and snort as most of ya'll probably do too
. Well they are on about an acre and its oblong so hard to explain, but when one is in sight you can't fully see the other one. Anyway, they all of a sudden split up, so I said "GREAT I can get a picture of Cochise while he is down at this end" about the time I go to take a picture of him, I head this AWFUL blunderment. I thought to myself OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Oh no was right! I ran flying as I seen Guardian hung in the fence. Even though we have a cattle panel fence it was still bad. Somehow he had got his head and neck hung in between the t-post and the two panels by busting off those tie thing's , had his front legs caught in between the panel bars, and yet he wasn't moving. I was praying "God I know this has to be a nightmare , it just has to be or else he's broke his neck!" Well I go up to him and he is one who runs away at the sight of a lead rope(I am still working on the trust factor) and as I approach still no movement, I just knew he was dead then. Well here I go to get his neck out from in between the panels and he starts struggling some so he gets his head out but almost rips a whole though his chin area, then I get one leg out he pulls the other leg out, gets up and starts acting like he is going to faint, well he does and down again. Mind you, I am all by myself , freaking out, trying to stay calm. Well I get him up and he walks with me to his stall, where is standing and eating some, but has blood running down his shoulder and leg area, and his mouth, I run to go get the cordless phone call the vet no answer, call the vets cell still no answer, so I did what I could. Grabbed the tetanus shot gave it too him, then sprayed his wounds with some of that liquid bandage stuff and antibiotic cream get it to stop bleeding(and thank GOD!) then went to go call again, still no answer so I went ahead and gave him a good dose of antibiotics and as of right now he standing and eating some but will not hardly move and I'm going to go check on him around every 30 mins to an hour to see what I can do to help while I try to get in contact with the vet(why do things always happen on weekends!). Anyhow, I'm hoping since he is up and eating that it will be ok, its a big nightmare so just send prayers my way, I'll keep ya'll updated. Thanks so much and God Bless-Sarah
Edited to Add, he did already have a 6 in 1 shot with tetanus shot in it, but thought is wouldn't hurt to give him a boster since it was wire.
