Jules was sleeping so soundly when I finally got to him. I hated to wake him, but I brought him snacks and I wanted him to know we had not abandoned him. I’m spending time with him and Thaddeus while we wait for Victoria to have her full body CT Scan.

The students love Jules. Other students are coming to visit him and falling in love with him. The current student on rotation said that since she has met Jules she has become obsessed with pigs. She will be on Thaddeus case too.

Thaddeus’ expression when I told him his hoof trim and X-rays have been postponed until tomorrow. He wasn’t too pleased to know he had to skip breakfast for no reason. Sorry big fella, at least you will get to make up for it at lunchtime.

Busy morning for “Oink Force One”. Thaddeus and Victoria have both been admitted at Cornel for their scheduled appointments. Thaddeus got quite the fanfare welcome. Victoria was whisked away in a more private reception as should any Royal. I’m going to head to the local market and pick up some fresh produce for my visit with Jules.

Thaddeus is admitted for hoof and foot maintenance and skin care.

Victoria is back for a battery of test, shockwave treatment and reevaluation of her lameness. She should get to go home later this evening, but Thaddeus will stay admitted for a few days.

Updates to follow…

Jules’ doctor just sent us this video of Jules. His debridement went well today. While Jules was sedated today his doctor changed out his catheter. Jules’ wound is very deep. When they pulled out the packing it was less smelly and icky. The concern is the deeper part of the wound is healing so very slowly. We are going to stay the course that we are on and hope the wound continues to heal. Feelers are out everywhere in the event we need to get to a CT Scanner that can support Jules. We will get to visit Jules tomorrow after we get Thaddeus and Victoria admitted. We’ll post an update after our visit.

Meet Emma.

Emma arrived at Broome Animal Sanctuay a few weeks ago in pretty rough shape so we have kept her quarantined for observation. She had feathers ripped out and a wound we have been treating.
She has been healing very well.

Today she had an appointment with Dr. Joy at Upstate Animal Medical Center in Saratoga Springs. Dr. Joy said considering Emma’s back story she is in good shape. She has a ruptured air sac, a parasite overload, a respiratory issue and an attack wound.

Emma will remain in quarantine and all of the above mentioned issues will be treated. Emma is a very sweet hen. If something startles her she runs to me and likes to be held.

Thank you Dr. Joy for caring for and taking such great care of our avians.

Bobby even put solar lights out for Wilbert to take evening strolls if he desires. Wilbert’s house under the beautiful starry Catskill sky.

Wilbert lives in a 10’ x 10’ house with power. He has alway had a 6’ x 20’ outdoor run. Today his outside yard was expanded another 10’ x 20’.

Thank you “Snout Out” to our neighbor and friend Bobby for putting up a fence so that Wilbert has an exercise and grazing yard.

Tammy loves when housekeeping comes and cleans her room followed by room service with a fresh bale of straw.
