Pedigree Query

My Prime Timber/Spanish Guitar filly born April 25th in New York started being sick in July with an abdominal abscess and pneumonia. Her condition was guarded, and two vets were sure she would die. But through a misunderstanding, she was kept at the farm instead of being hospitalized, being watched closely and on oral antibiotics. Each vet thought the other had hospitalized her, and was shocked she survived long enough to be re-examined at the farm.

However, she never got worse, and seemed to be just quiet and slowly improving, so she has stayed in the barn with her mother for about six weeks, eating and taking her medicines every day. Her ultrasound shows her abscess is shrinking, and her pneumonia is gone.

She's not in pain, and not sickened by the drugs. Last week she was allowed out all night, and this week is out all day as well. The farm manager reported today that she was actually kicking and playing in the field. She's eating well and starting to regain her weight; what a toughie like her mama!

Here's her picture from June, before she got sick. Her name is Opening Number.

ahh phew...glad to hear she is doing better. When she gets back to her regular self lets see another picture she looks like a real pretty girl.

So glad she is doing better and I cant wait to see updated pics when she is all fat and sassy again. I love Prime Timber, a mare we bred to him lost her foal at 7 months but last month we were lucky enough to buy a filly off the track by him.

Good for you!

I am glad she is on the mend, Henthorn.
Good luck with her and psot some new pictures when she is up
and about more!

Glad she's better & well done for managing it without her going to hospital. Bad when the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. Looking forward to seeing some more photo's of her soon

She is so cute! I am glad she is improving. Wishing her a speedy recovery

Best of luck with Opening Number, she is a lovely filly.
Hope you will keep us updated on her progress.
