[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 324708, member: 2767"] :x Folks bought pony from salebarn 6 months ago, they were told pony did not need wormed or vaccines for a year. Pony is about 5 years old. Folks fed pony , but never brushed him. Pony went down in the rain friday and was too weak to rise, pony was laid in an out building on cement floor. Sat am vet ask me to help get pony up. Pony had struggled so hard to rise, that he has blood running from his mouth from beating his head on the floor :mad: We got pony up and took him to my place to hopefully recover. Pony will be wormed slowly, started on small amounts of senior feed and grass hay. Body condition score : 1 ! :shock: Nothing but hair and bones. Fecal was off the chart for worms. We have to pick up pony to stand him up. Once up , he will eat, drink and urinate. Pony is better today. I think he will make it. My pet peeve is people getting any species of animal and then not researching or asking questions as to the care. These folks seem very sorry about the pony's sad state, and keep telling me that they just did not know any better! :oops: I am trying to educate them on body score ( you have to feel the pony! not just throw feed at it! :x The pony has NO body fat and is wearing a blanket to keep from freezing. Also, education about worming, vaccines, feed( he has been eating people food! :x ) ect. I have worked so hard these past few days to breathe life back into this frail little guy. He is about 40 inches tall, and does not want to succumb to worms! :mad: [/QUOTE]
