Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Made it Through the Night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Baby Cows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please cross post! As you may already know, last night was crucial for the downed baby cow. If he took a turn for the worse, it was the veterinarian's advice to put him down. Fortunately, that is NOT the case. After caring for him through the night, this morning his fever broke. So, at this point, things are looking up. This morning, "Chai" finished up his slumber party complete with a brunch of alfalfa and grass hay, and fresh clean water on a bed of straw and shavings. They all spent their morning lounging around the barnyard sporting their new blankets. All joking aside, the ones who are having the major issues are doing better, however, they still have a hill to climb, as two of the others have spiked a fever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The outpouring of support has been heartwarming to say the least. We thank you on behalf of the new baby cows; Chai, Forgiveness, Star, Crystal, Faith, and Courage. Thank you so much for helping us do the work that we do. We feel so supported. Due to limitations placed on us by our insurance company and because the calves are sick, we cannot have children come and volunteer with the babies. We love and appreciate that they want to help, but we want to keep everyone as safe as possible. So please make sure that you are over 18 if you are coming to volunteer, and please call ahead. Volunteers are greatly needed in the evening to late night hours. Much love and gratitude.
