Dolly, Dubs & Rosie VET UPDATES❤️🩹
Today the girls got initial exams done by our amazing veterinarian to make sure everyone’s getting exactly what they need in their care and rehab. To say I’ve never seen horses as truly heartbroken as these two would be an understatement. We’ve had over hundreds of equines cross our path here over the years, but Dolly and Rosie are truly some of the saddest I’ve ever been around.
Dolly, the pinto, is so shut down and checked out. She just stands with such a blank expression. She’s never had anyone to fight for her before, but she does now and I can’t wait for her to learn & feel that. Today she got fluids and lots of good nutrients and vitamins in her system. Our vet will be back to administer more fluids tomorrow as she is severely dehydrated. We are also hoping to get blood work back from the lab tomorrow. She’s not really wanting to eat or drink much but we’re hoping today’s visit gives her body the jumpstart it needs. Little dubs, her Palomino filly, is doing well. She is at least two months old from what we can tell.
Rosie, the red mare, who we think is about 17 years old, is such a sweetheart truly. She was so good for her exam despite everything I’m sure she’s been through previously. Her body tells a wicked story, she is absolutely covered in scars given from people and other horses. She most likely just recently had her baby taken from her, and… yes, she is in fact pregnant again. We did see a little one on her ultrasound today which means Rosie will be staying with us for quite a while so we can ensure she has a safe place to foal and raise her baby.
In regards to Dolly, she was sold exposed back to the same stud she currently had baby Dubs with. We are guessing she’s in her mid to late 20s and especially with the condition of her body I hope more than anything she’s not pregnant, however, unfortunately, we were unable to check today because we have far too many other things to be concerned about and will check again when she’s more stable and cleared from quarantine. In the last two pictures, you can see on Rosie that she has two different glue tag spots which means she had been through two different auction sales within a short timeframe. Sweet Dolly’s coat is so poor that even with a special adhesive remover glue put on her to hold her tag number went all the way to her skin.
These girls have been through so much, and I’m just so glad they are here so we can show them exactly what true love and care looks like❤️🩹
