Well it has been a week yesterday since I started feeding Mariachi and all the other things that needed to be done to him.  He has not foundered, died or had a colic episode so I think we are on the road to recovery.  He is getting only slightly more feed than Sudden who is supposed to be on a diet as per the vet. (Sudden gets fat on air) I give him 1/2 scoop feed, 2 flakes of alfalfa and 1 flake of coastal two times per day. Extra coastal is given as needed plus I turn them out for a couple of hours a day to pick at what ever grass is left in the pasture.

I never did start Mariachi on antibiotics as I just felt that would have been too much on his system. His runny nose has left but his eye is still swollen. A lady named Rhonda that runs a local Horse rescue came over yesterday and said to just keep a fly mask on him and that it would probably clear up on its own. I have flushed it a couple of times this week with clear eyes.  I still have him on the daily wormer and the probiotics.

Today I moved my round pen panels up front and will let them graze a couple of hours up there. We don't have the front fenced so I will just move the panels around as needed. Here are a few pics, I do think mariachi has put on just a little bit of weight (might be my imagination though). Sudden really loves him and they get along perfectly which is really nice.  Check the pics and see what you think. If you click on the pictures it makes them larger.
