Some Health Items

I just have some health updates today.  Haley and Bambi must be getting some good out of the anti-inflammatory meds because they race to see who gets to me first.

Haley and Bambi

I am also happy to say that Flower is doing really well.  She has completely grown her fur back in.  I think she is peeling a little from where she got sunburned when she was naked, but she’s doing well.

For some reason, after all this time, Masey ended up with an entropion eye.

I had to take her to the vet.

He put a clip on it, and she’s much better!

Surviving the Heat

Well today was the worst for the heat.  Hopefully, it doesn’t get this bad again this summer.  But we are surviving.

Aurora

The llamas are very happy they got rid of their fleece.

Maybeline

I do have one little guy who is struggling with the heat. Joy’s boy just had respiratory infection from his long birth, and his little lungs can’t take the heat. When they pant, it’s not good.

Champ (with one of LilyAnn’s girls behind him)

He went into the milk room for a long cooling period.

Dolly got to come in and eat sweet feed keep him company.

Then I finally just put him and his mom in the garage.  It’s still hot in there, but the humidity is not near as bad.

Joy and Champ

I am giving the chickens frozen treats of last year’s tomatoes and zucchinis.

The goose spends most of her day in the pool, and I swear I really do get clean water for her every afternoon.

Miss Goose

My dog has decided the best way to beat the heat is to stay inside in the air conditioning.

Another thing I did to help the goats survive the heat is kicking everyone out of the greenhouse.  It is just oppressive in there.

Zora looking at the panel blocking her entrance.

I added a tarp back to the pen and plunked all the babies out there.  They decided it was pretty awesome.

The moms enjoy it too.

Cutie was the first to try it out.

Hopefully, today is the last of the horrible, horrible heat.  But here’s a bonus video of the kids enjoying the shade.
