Our friend Jenna Woginrich of Cold Antler Farm came over this morning with her medical kit to take a look at Tess. It is great to have a friend like Jenna living nearby. If you ever want to have a farm, have one near somebody like her. She and Maria think it might be tetanus. We are giving Tess penicillin injections and put some lactose in her water for energy. She struggles to stand up, but otherwise looks good. Good appetite, bright eyes, dry nose. Maria is on it, using her own healing and communications skills. And Red provided back-up, helping keep Tess in place with his piercing stare.
We’ll know in a couple of days if this works. I am fond of Tess, she is unusual. Putting up an album on Facebook.
