Sam's Medicine

Yesterday was day eight and the last day of Sam's ulcer meds. Luckily it appears he's over his ulcers although I've switched to senior feed to help reduce any stress on his stomach.

Today starts day one of his cold medicine treatment. We have four to five days of treating Sam's cold with penicillan. Poor Sam. He can't seem to win these last few weeks.

Two weeks ago he came down with a terrible cold and ulcers. He could very well have had this cold for longer than I realized. He'd dropped quite a bit of weight by the time I realized he was sick. Even with me seeing him every day in the barn I didn't notice until two Saturday's ago.

Hopefully we'll be able to get Sam back on the mend fast. He's lost too much weight so I'm now trying to figure out how to quickly, but safely, get as much weight back on him before cold really hits. Unfortunatley he doesnt' like beet pulp. Sam is a picky eater.

Please say a prayer that Sam recovers from this cold quickly and gains enough weight. He looked so good this summer and now... not so much. Keeping my fingers crossed.
