Lakota's Lives On

From something bad comes a precious gift of something good. 

We lost Lakota 24 hours after she gave birth. The filly was so big she ruptured.  The filly was born last Sunday and we lost Lakota on Monday. The vet tried but there was nothing that could be done. It was a very bad day for me. I spent the day crying at the drop of a hat. 

RIP Lakota. 

She rests here and will continue to be loved and missed. 

This is Miracle.  She has Maladjusted foal syndrome aka dummy foal. We did a treatment on her and it helped some. Took us almost all day to teach her to nurse but she got it. In the meantime I milked Lakota and gave it to Miracle via bottle.

Monday after Lakota crossed the rainbow bridge, a very good friend of mine came and got Miracle. I got to bottle feed her all day before she left. 

This is her in Taylor's van. 

She like the ac and laid down and took a long nap. 

Taymor got home and the baby continued to nap so Taylor let her. This is when she woke up.

Miracle has a HUGE fan club. 

Miracle's stall at Taylor's. She approves.

Miracle is now in Columbia at a specialist.  She is having seizures which are common with dummy foals. They are having issues getting them under control. She was taken to MU today for an MRI. This is to make sure seizures are not causing brain damage. She has gained 3 pounds. She has also never ridden in a horse trailer. She is transported by van or pickup. Very spoiled. 

For now she stays in Columbia. 

And Lakota lives on.......so far. 

Positive thoughts needed.
