My really old pony is not feeling well. I have him some Homeopathics and red light therapy. He seems a bit better this evening. I’m wondering if I need to start emotionally preparing myself.

 

Poor fella. He really is pretty old though. Another month and we should be out of winter entirely and I'm sure he'll perk up a bit when it's warmer.

He is well over thirty. Pretty old even for a pony. He was a bit better today.

Well it has been an interesting few days with Kaya (old pony) he pretty much stopped eating anything and was only drinking water. Noticing around much. I decided I would try one more thing. Alfalfa cubes soaked in water. I had to work all day and got some while I was out and spent the day mentally and emotionally preparing myself. So I got home, soaked a few cubes and he ate it all!
So I waited a few hours and gave him another meal and he are it all. He nickered at me and was even pushy about getting his bucket! So we shall see. I'm prepared to give him special feed. We shall see
