Yeah, he looks pretty mellow, but look at the bloating and the prominent spine. What the photo doesn't show is the amount of pain in his eyes. He was even worse this morning. Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where pain is actually often a good sign that things are doing what they should be doing.
And this is him this morning:

Still not a whole lot of movement, but some. The vet will be back early this evening to hang bags (he has four of them going simultaneously) that will last him through the night.
And she finally admitted today what we all secretly knew: He should not be with us today; in fact, he should've been gone a week or so ago. But he has an incredible will to live, and he does not want to leave his loved ones, and before she drove off, she said, "I think he might actually make it."
More later.
that was sani's father - he should have not been there - had two major surgeries, a third to repair the hernia from those two = was skin and bones but his will to live was overpowering all the physical - spartacus was on iv's for five weeks - NO external food or water - and every morning he woke up with his eye locked on the knothole missing to the mare's stall next to him - and he "saluted" her each morning. ;)
ReplyDeletehe survived removal of one testicle to have more sperm than any other stallion on the premises and sired many more youngsters after that!
