A Christmas Miracle for 4, and another Angel leaves us
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
Hi all,
Thank you for saving the Christmas kids. As always, there was a big wrench thrown into this rescue. As I was on my way, I received a message that I also had to save the STALLION. IF I didn’t take him too, I couldn’t save the mares.
Thankfully, we are set up for wild stallions so of course I said yes. Sadly his feet are horrific and he is very thin under his coat. He is exactly NOT what was described. He is much older than I was told, very thin and most likely needs dental work asap.
Mercedes update – Mercedes gave birth to a beautiful, perfectly formed, stillborn baby on the 15th. He was beyond perfect, Mercedes had no issues as he was not big like we were worried about. However in a devastating turn of events his umbilical cord was cinched around his flank during birth, which immediately cut off his blood supply, sending him straight into the Angel’s arms.
Doc was here minutes after I called her, but he passed in the birth canal and was beyond resuscitation. (Note to folks. You cannot put pressure on that area of a newborn baby as it can kill them. One of the first things we learned years ago was to NEVER ever pick up a newborn baby under his legs.)
I had just picked up Mercedes at the vet the night before and both Mommy and Baby were doing great. Baby was moving and Mercedes was fine. I have no words and don’t even know how to breathe even today.
THANK YOU for saving the girls and our unexpected boy. Princess left yesterday for her new home, and we are praying the weather clears so I can finally get these kids home to Nevada.
If you would like to help with Tonka’s vetting (gelding, teeth floating, Coggins) or his vast feeding needs, it is much appreciated. God gives and He takes away. I have yet to understand why I have so many old timers that have had a life and why so many new littles are gone too soon, However, all I can do is pray and have faith, knowing someday I will have the answers.
THANK YOU for the baby gifts for our precious Noah. It breaks my heart knowing how much love is behind every blanket, halter etc. that was sent for him. I wish I could hug each and every one of you. It has been beyond devastating, especially as Mercedes’ journey to health was so long and difficult.
Have a Merry Christmas and thank you for saving so many lives this year!
