Louise - Not Good

We're going to need some good thoughts for little Wheezie.  When I
went to feed this morning, I found her on her feet, but unable to take
a step without nearly falling down.  Very, very painful everywhere,
very stressed, sweaty, heart racing, nickering for help.

She's had a lot of fluids, a lot of IV DMSO, bute and dexamethasone.
It took the edge off.  Suspicion is a cervical fracture, probably
suffered a hairline in her fall, and just separated last night.

Options were to truck her to a clinic two hours away, where they could
do an MRI and see what's going on.  But the trip would be painful and
dangerous, and they may not be able to do much.  So, for now, we're
going to wait and see.

She is, as always, cheerful and kind, bright-eyed and alert.  And
hungry.  The pain was enough to make her unwilling to eat for a short
time earlier, but she is currently tucking into her hay with great
enthusiasm.

Keep her in your thoughts.
