Day 13

We just got home from a visit to Dr. Jen Powers (for another horse), and she gave us some ointments to start applying to Doc's wounds. When we got home, I went out there with one of the jars and left it open on the chair so he could smell it while I rubbed him all over.  He doesn't mind me touching the wounds yet, and I was able to apply a tiny amount to one leg, and pick some of the scabs off.  We left it at that for now.  Maybe I'll do a little more later, but don't want to push this part too hard.  I want him to enjoy his doctoring sessions (or at least tolerate them well), so it will be important to take it slow and easy.  No pain right now.

Many of you have asked how you might be able to help.  Thank you so much!!  We set up a rescue fund at Dr. Powers' place for him under Alicia (Mosher's) account.  If you want to make any donations, just tell them it is for "Huckleberry", and the money will be kept aside just for him.  Cash or checks can be sent to:

Above and Beyond Animal Care
22294 Spyder Lane
Palo Cedro, CA  96073
(530)524-7044

I also have a rescue fund set up at the veterinary clinic that I work at.  (We are small animals only, but I will be purchasing supplies for him through here).  That fund is set up under my name (Jackie Loverde) 
Acct. #63933.  Huckleberry is the only patient in that account, so everything will go directly to him.  We can take any form of payment - credit cards over the phone work too.

VCA Asher Animal Hospital
2505 Hilltop Drive
Redding, CA  96002
(530)224-2200

Every little bit helps.  As I said before, we have lots of love in our hearts, but not a lot of money in our pockets.  Thank you!!!!!!!
