Rescued arab filly - Update

[mrdarcy]

Some of you might remember I posted back in September about a yearling filly I gave a home to. She was pretty malnourished and basically a hat rack. As a reminder this was her a day after I got her (September 23rd)

This is her on Sunday - sorry the photos aren't great but hopefully shows how much better she's starting to look:

As you can see though her ribs are still visible her quarters have filled out and you can no longer see her spine.

We have had a set back in that four weeks ago she escaped from her field, cut herself on the gate catch, then slipped over on the concrete and ripped her knee open. Lots of vets bills and stitches later she is finally healing up and back out in the field. She's the friendliest little thing and I feel very lucky that I had the opportunity to give her a home.

Well done you, she looks much improved and I am sure worth all the hard work (and the vet's bills!!!).

What is she called?

 

[mrdarcy]

Her name is Ptraci but the 'P' is silent. Apparently it's the name of a character in a Terry Prachett novel!

It takes a lot to get them back once they are that poor - so well done, you've come a long way.

Well done. It's the most satisfying thing to be able to turn something around like that and you're doing a grand job. Do keep with the updates, it's only by looking back that you see how far you have come!

Well done - what a difference in 2 months - I bet she is pleased you found her!
