On Monday I arrived at the farm early to take my pal Minnow on a special outing.
Mom said Minnow was headed to the New Bolton Center, an internationally renowned large animal hospital, in other words the VET!
When we arrived I had to wait in the car, which was perfectly fine with me because going to the Vet is not my idea of a good time anyway.
Mom said Minnow was very brave, much braver than I am at the vet, as he got his 5 year check-up for Ringbone (which I’m told is arthritis in his ankle).
Minnow even got radiographs done of his legs, and I heard he didn’t even need to be drugged!
Minnow told me later that he kept looking over his shoulder wondering when I would come in to hold his hoof and make him feel better about being poked and prodded. I knew no one could be that brave at the vet!
Minnow’s radiographs showed how much of a Super Hero he really is – as his bones have been trying to fuse together over the past 5 years to alleviate pain in his joint. In other words, he’s growing a bionic leg!
When we got back to the barn Boomer and Blitz were waiting for us, and I told them all about how brave our Super Minnow was and all about his bionic leg.
And incase you’re wondering about Minnow’s prognosis…..he and I still have many more years of superness ahead!
