Daisy waits..

Rocky and Daisy have been together since 2012.  Never really being apart for more than a few hours.  I had to email the neighborhood letting them know that Daisy may bray more than usual.  And she did.  She never leaves her post.....

We took her on a walk to hopefully distract her and give her some exercise, but she wanted to stop often and scan for Rocky.  She did say hi to the neighbor's mini donkey.

While on our walk we recieved some text updates from the vets office, Rocky was doing well...than we finally got this!

It's out!
and it's HUGE!

​
After that I went and passed out, between this and my day job stresses my brain was like 'ok we're done here'.....
​
I woke up to a call from my vet saying Rocky was done with surgery, all stitched up, awake, up and doing well.  If you've never seen how they put an equine to sleep and wake them up, you should check it out.  Being flight animals (horse more than donkeys) it can be very eventful for them to wake up ....have you woke up from anesthesia before? Its not super fun....imagine you're a 1000lb animal, whose main resource is your four awesome get-away sticks, which are now 1000% drunk....There is a high risk of injury as they come to and try to get up.

The vet and I agree Rocky should stay overnight for continued IV and antibiotics.  I ask her if I can visit him the next day even though it is Sunday. She says yes....
