On this past Friday night, one of our donkeys was attacking a new foal he was penned with. Little Mario, age 9 or 10, was sent in to get the baby and the donkey attacked him. They took him to the ER with a severly cut up arm (from the donkey biting him), wounds from the donkey biting him in his face, including one that went all the way through, and deep bruises and a few cuts on his leg.
He got 15 sutures in his face and was transferred to one of the Childrens Hospitals downtown. When they got there, they took more X-Rays of his arm and more CAT scans of his jaw. Havent heard anything about the jaw ones.
Even through all the morphine they were giving him, his arm was killing him and they found out why upon looking at the X-Rays. He had 2 foreign objects inbedded in his arm. They removed them via surgery yesterday morning. Last I heard he was just getting out of surgery.
He is a tough kid. Didnt cry throughout the stitches or anything even though he was in so much pain. His 2 year old brother saw everything and the next day told his sister that "The donkey tried to eat brothers face."
Just Please please please pray for him. His mom is totally guilt ridden because she couldnt hold back the 750lb+ donkey.
I'll keep everyone updated
