Today was my birthday, so I wanted to share that Ellie looks SO much better! A friend Jessica Warnock-Gambriell (some of you may remember her from 4-H) just graduated vet school, and offered to come look at Ellie free of charge.
She says Ellie seems pretty healthy for her age and all she has been through. Of course she is lame, but Jess thinks that it's all related to her old injuries, and that there was nothing to be worried about. She agrees with me the left fore is worse. She says a joint supplement and bute or banamine on her bad days is the best course of action.
Her teeth look good, and she is gaining weight normally. She agrees with her current diet, and Ellie is glad because she loves her beet pulp/rice bran slop. She said to go ahead and worm her this weekend. She is not anemic due to a worm load.
In general, Ellie checked out well, and the better she feels, the more "girl" she gets...lol. She pins her ears when you are near her food, but never gets nasty. She is a big bluffer:) Anyhow. Just a quick update and some new pics! Enjoy!
