Ruthie has been on stall rest and on Thursday we finally met Dr. Angell (I've heard amazing things about him) from Bentley Vet in Pine Plains, and he was AWESOME. He diagnosed Ruthie lickety split, and it didn't even require a costly xray. She is suffering from a pretty old, deep abscess that has likely been troubling her for some time. Doc cleaned out the abscess, gave me a bit of a medical lesson, and then packed and wrapped the hoof. With a little luck, Ruthie will be better in no time!
We are a small 501c Donkey Sanctuary, located in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate NY. Here, we strive to advocate for our donkeys while sharing funny stories of our farm and events. Life is about adapting and overcoming the challenges that make everyday seem like there's "always something" in your way. So when you are faced with having to do more with less (money, ability, limbs perhaps...),know you're not alone. "It's okay. I'll learn to live without it." -Eeyore
