I had to call the vet today for Ambra. She is such a piggie and it got her into trouble today. I used to feed them pellets all the time remember? But I haven't been able to find a basic pellet like that here and the basic mix that they have here for horses is actually more oats and corn and a teeny bit of pellets. Well she wolfed her pellets down and it got stuck in her throat. I sure sympathised with the feeling that she had. So she is standing there, sort of paralysed with anxiety and drooling and foaming at the mouth and every so often getting stiff and straining to swallow, sort of. Well it wasn't more than ten minutes of watching her and I decided to call the vet. So the vet came and tubed her which consists of pushing a big tube through her nose and down into her stomach and then we poured numerous containers of water into the tube to wash it all down. She was so good about the whole thing, I was amazed. Didn't fuss hardly at all. You would have been so proud of your magic pony. She is a grumpy girl but she is still a good horse. So anyhow, now she has big rocks in her feed bucket so that she is forced to push them aside in order to eat them in little bits instead of big mouthfuls.
Anyway, just thought you might like to hear about the latest about one of my girls.
