Welcome to EI Central..


Day 3 & 4

LOL, no but it might as well be. Today sees all but Kenny Kinjite with the EI virus and we are anticipating that Kenny will be plum tomorrow as Jimmy, his roomy, is well into the snotty stage.

We are living a very exciting life at the moment. Get up, feed up. Check temperatures (just love the x 10 rectal temps twice a day!). Do treats as per symptoms just in time for the afternoon when we have to turn around and do it all again!

Run Down on the Residents

Epiphany and Local News ( the 2 pregnant broodmares) are just about over the worst of it. Temps are normal, appetites are back to ravenous. Coughing and a slight snotty nose still persist - both girls are on antibiotics for another 2 days. Both pregnant ladies have been enjoying their days picking around the house, now that we have a little green stuff.

Lucy (Yearling) - Temp is a little elevated after temperature spikes, has a cough no snotty nose. She is feeling ok and is eating, well, like a horse.

Joie, Mads and Sweetie. Joie and Mads are a little off with a temperature that seems to hover within normal peramaters. They are a little snotting and have a cough. Sweetie has the runny nose at the moment but has told me that she "doesnt do coughing". Joie and Mads are on antibiotics for the cough and nasal discharge; and a wee bit of Bute paste to make them feel a little better in themselves. Now how fun is it giving her antibiotic? Just ask Evan!

Another Southern and WFN - have snotty noses and their temps are within normal parameters at this stage.

Wee Jimmy and Kenny Kinjite. Wee Jimmy was off today and had a snotty nose. His temp was within normal parameters. Kenny has a bit of a discharge, no temperature and a ravenous apetite.
