Vet Visit
I went over early to feed and clean stalls. Tessa and her filly were moved across the aisle into a clean stall I prepared for them last night. On the way back stopped at the barn to get all the left over food from last night's dinner. Ruth arrived as I was on my way back to put the food away. Diane didn't come for the walk, instead she drove to the Peoria airport to get she and Mike's tickets for Gulf Shores. When we reached Joan's house Faline came running out of the woods and bounded up to Joan asking to be fed.
Rachel was going to feed her this morning but was running a little late.
Rachel came out with the bottle and it didn't take Faline very long to hear the call and off she went happy as can be. Faline lives in the woods but comes 2 or 3 times a day for a bottle. I picked up Joan at 8:30 am and drove to church for Wayne Unsicker's funeral. Mike and Tim had the funeral and it was so personal and yet the truth was spoken. We went to the cemetery for the burial then to the fellowship for the lunch. We didn't get back until 1:30 pm. After dropping off Joan, I quickly changed then took the golf cart over, hooked up the stock trailer to the truck, loaded Tessa and her filly and drove to Hoerr Vet Clinic reaching there by 2:30 pm. The clinic was swamped with customers but the cutest had to be the mini donkey foal who walked nicely on a leash right into the clinic office. 
We had a long wait, didn't get into the clinic until close to 4:00 pm. Tessa walked right into the stocks like a pro and her filly was tied to the front.
While we were waiting for Dr. Pallen, Chris and LeeAnne were working on a critical pony foal. They had to bring it out of the stall as the pony mare was very protective and would try to bite to keep her foal safe from those people who were only trying to save the baby.
Dr. Pallen removed the bandage.
The wound is doing great, it was almost all the way filled in. Dr. Pallen decided to have Emma laser the wound and after that treatment the wound was bandaged back up.
Hopefully the bandage will stay on until Friday morning. At that time I will take her to have the wound checked and if needed Tessa and the filly will stay at Hoerr Vet clinic until either it is healed enough that she can be turned out or when we get home from vacation Aug 1st. Hopefully Mike will be able to pick her up Monday or Tuesday of next week. I finally got home after 5:00 pm. Mark was at the farm house and was willing to help move 3 bales in. The middle paddock got a bale, the paddock next to Valiant got a bale and the far paddock got a bale. 
We finally got home for supper around 6:00 pm. Sarah and Nolan had something awful happen at their new place. Sarah treated their pond and the upper pond and all of the fish died. They hired Mackenson to help get all the dead fish out of the pond. They had to bury them.
It was awful, lots of big bass in their pond and many bluegill in the upper pond. They are trying to find out what happened as they thought they followed the directions. What a shame. Hopefully they will be able to restock soon. The farm house rented today for the week we will be on vacation. Mark kind of panicked but I'm sure all will be well.
