Kahve
We are very excited about our first colt
from Lil. He is a very handsome colt, with plenty of presence!
Looks like he may be homozygous too! We expect Kahve
to mature around 13 hands.
Here is Kahve
within a few hours of birth.
On Kahve's 4th day, we noticed something
was amiss. We contacted our veterinarian and started treating him with
antibiotics, by the next morning his condition was very poor. We took him
in to the veterinarian for IV fluids and treatment. Blood tests indicated
that Kahve had a nasty bacterial infection in his
bloodstream. Thus began intensive home care: we milked Lil and fed Kahve every two hours, administered antibiotics and IV
fluids as necessary. Kahve's chances of
surviving his infection were not great, but he pulled through! Here are
some pictures of Kahve as his condition began to
improve. He had to relearn how to stand and nurse; now he is eating on
his own and running again!
These
pictures were taken a few days after Kahve was well
enough to be turned out with the other mares and foals.
