Forever Home Donkey Rescue

This morning when I took the gauze off Jenny's foot, it was stuck with some of the goo that oozes out.  It's not much, probably wouldn't cover the end of your finger, but does dry out enough to make the gauze stick.  When I pulled, it caused it to bleed a little.  I hadn't soaked it with White Lightening since last week, so figured it wouldn't hurt.  I'm thinking about having the new local mobile vet come out & see what she thinks.  The only other option is to haul her up to Gilbert again, this would be 4th or 5th long trip.  Megan could do a scraping or swab or whatever she might need to do, to find out what kind of bacteria we're dealing with. 

Ruthie is getting bigger & bigger, but so far no changes to make us think she's ready to have her baby.  This morning when John checked her, he got thumped, when he put his hand on her belly.  Guess the little guy didn't appreciate John's attention.........!!!!  That's our first "relationship" with him or her or them.  She lost twins last October, & it would be fun if she had twins, as long as they were healthy.  That way they'd have a playmate.  Poor little Tucker didn't have anyone except Momma Mocha, & believe me she paid the price.

When I went out to feed tonight one of the 1st things I noticed was Frijolita is 3 legged lame, as in abscess lame from the way it looks.  I guess all the rain & damp weather we had for this year's monsoon, has been a little hard on some of the donkeys.  Frijolita usually has real good feet, if it is an abscess I hope it pops real soon, she is miserable.
