Update on Cole

Jason talked to the vet yesterday to see what the results of the blood test were for his horse. He said they were thinking it was the result of a chemical or from the bite of a brown recluse spider. He could have been bit as he ate the new hay and got bit in the mouth and face. The brown recluse spider has a poison that will kill the tissue around the area of the bite, causing holes in the tissue. So that could have caused the huge hole in his bottom lip. I did have a dream that the hole did close and heal itself, so we'll just keep believing it will. As far as his attitude, he is no longer lethargic, which the poison in his body would have caused. He nickers at us when we feed him and he's got more energy to walk around and I don't know how much he's laying down anymore. So hopefully he's on the mend. It will take a long time for him to get back to his prior physique, but we've got all winter.
