After dropping Darcy off at the Dunlap Vet clinic there was time for a quick trip to Herman Pond Management to pay for a bag of fish food for the pond.
Their office is decorated like the outdoors. The pictures below were taken right there in their office. Our daughter Sarah took the check.
My niece Andi is at the desk, my nephew David Jacob and his mom Rachel painted the mural on the wall.
The rest of the decorations are of different animals caught or hunted by the land management part of Herman Pond Management.
Once I left Herman Pond Management there was only time to change before mom picked me up for Eldora Young's funeral. Dave Obergfel had the service, it was really nice for the family very personal. Diane went with us. After the funeral, even before changing out of the Sunday clothes, Clair's filly was checked. She could not put any weight on her left front leg. Steven helped put her in the golf cart and she was driven over and loaded into the trailer. Steven followed me over to Hoerr Vet clinic to help with the filly while I took Clair. At first Dr. Pallen thought she had a broken leg. Ex-rays were taken, below the filly is just as interested as the 2 vets.
The ex-ray was interesting, the dark arrow shows her growth plate, the lighter arrow shows the problem site which is a pocket of pus.
She was sedated, loaded on the table and given a ride into the operating theater where she was prepped for the joint flushing.
Dr. Hoerr pumps a bag of lactate ringgers into the joint, then lets it squirt out.
Below he actually had so much pressure the fluid came squirting all over Dr. Pallen.
This gave us all some much needed levity for this long drawn out stress filled day.
Dr. Hoerr finished up by injecting antibiotic directly into the joint.
Then it was time to check the umbilicus.
He needed to ultrasound the bladder to see if the hole in the umbilicus went all the way into the bladder and yes it did!
I was feeling mighty bad about not catching this infection until Dr. Hoerr found that the umbilicus had not closed properly allowing small amounts of urine to dribble out of the cord when the filly urinated causing the cord to remain moist, perfect conditions for an infection!
Finally around 6:30pm she was ready to be wheeled out to her mother.
We waited a bit for her to wake up, then Steven helped load her into the trailer and off we drove for home. A van pulled along side the truck on 474, I look over and it was Joan driving home from Chicago. Weird to think we were both at the same place, the same time. Once home Clair and her very sore filly were unloaded and stalled. I'm really tired but Mark needs a hair cut before I can finally crash.
