And What of Speedy?

I am sorry to have been so quiet on the Speedy front lately, but there have been some lameness issues over the past several weeks, and I didn't want to simply whine about it without having an answer. There is a long story to be told, but you will have to wait a few days.

We're headed to the cabin for the weekend, but I promise that Speedy's story will be ready by Monday morning. In the meantime, he's not feeling so well right now as he just got his spring vaccinations. He was looking a wee bit puny on Friday afternoon, but fortunately he didn't seem as sore in the neck as he usually gets. That's probably due to the kindness of Dr. Tolley.

When I mentioned to Dr. Tolley that Speedy tends to have a sore neck after his vaccinations, he tried to spread them out around his body. Speedy got a shot in each side of his hind end as well as one in the neck. While he might be off his feed right now, at least he didn't appear sore in his neck or butt last night.

Aw ... poor guy. He didn't have much interest in his dinner.

While I feel sorry for him, I am not worried. He gets puny every spring when we vaccinate. It usually only lasts a day or two and then suddenly, he's right as rain. 

It's going to be nearly 90℉ this weekend, so it's probably good that Speedy is going to just be hanging out recovering from his vaccinations. While it's probably not going to be quite that warm where you live, I hope your version of spring is starting to make an appearance. 

See you on Monday!
