Mr k update- warning, hard to watch.
Mr k appears to no longer be in shock, which is great. He’s still pawing at the ground but not nearly as aggressively and we aren’t sweating profusely or grunting nearly as much. The fleighman response has stopped and only comes out when I have to give him his yucky meds.
His injuries are pretty clearly his elbow. It was hard to tell initially due to the shock and adrenaline still pulsing through him. We will likely have surgery, potentially tomorrow as we want to do it asap. X-rays when my vet gets to town this evening will confirm.
We have spoken to the surgeon who told us whether we got X-rays yesterday or today will not change the outcome at all- or I would have hauled a vet here from Stillwater last night.
To everyone who has sent fundraiser ideas, or offered auction items, seriously, thank you. I’m in absolutely no mindset to set any fundraisers up. My mental capacity is completely full trying to keep things running, keep the house in order, and constantly running meds, stall cleans and rebeds, researching after care to prepare myself for the long road to recovery and collecting bandaging, meds etc to keep him as comfortable as possible. He got his muscle relaxers and pain pills this morning: I will give him 30 min and go check to make sure he’s comfortable and hopefully laying down.
Please keep the prayers coming for a miracle.
Will update this evening as I gain more info with X-rays.
