SJ66, How Is Junior???

[VirginiaBred]

His fan club is interested............:cool:

[*JumpIt*]

I was just thinking of him too today after looking at everyone's 2009 babies. I hope he is doing well!

[showjumpers66]

<sigh> Poor Junior! Friday morning we found him down. I think he was feeling a bit punky as he had a snotty nose and a cough for about 7 days, but we had the vet out to run CBCs and we were monitoring his temp and everything seemed okay. At lunch, we realized that he didn't drink his morning bucket. He was down in the hay and it looked like one of the mares had stepped on his head. He had a large hematoma and his eye swollen shut. His temp was 105.4. :eek: He could only stand/walk with assistance. We got him on ice as well as Dexamethasone and Banamine and rushed him to the clinic. DMSO really helped to take the brain swelling down and he started feeling much better within 24 hours. Very scarey ... I thought that we were going to lose him. He gets to come home tomorrow. He still has a "black eye", but he is eating good and his temp is normal.

[CathyKb]

Oh - Poor Junior!!!!! So glad he is doing OK after that. I really think he just needs to come live with me!:D;)

[VirginiaBred]

Oh my goodness! I wonder if I *felt* something was wrong.......??? I had been thinking about him since I lost my filly last week. Prayers for Junior. Again.

[maybedog]

Poor Junior. That little guy just can't seem to get a break. Hope he is feeling better soon.

[EquineLVR]

Oh that poor sweet baby.. huge hugs to him and tons of jingles!!

[Janet]

wow. How scary. Glad things are looking up, and jingles for continued recovery.

[cottagefarm]

Jingles for the little guy.
Hope he feels better soon. He's certainly had a lifetimes worth of stuff in his short time here:sadsmile:

[Home Again Farm]

Poor little baby bear. Jingling that things improve and he has no more bad days.

[showjumpers66]

I just can't believe the rotten luck this poor colt has had. If we could ever get past the hump, I think he is going to be special. He is seriously Mr. Personality, too. He is in the paddock next to the main driveway and he likes to "chase" the cars. :lol: He has a bit of an identity crisis. He enjoys hanging out with the horses but still thinks he is human. I never hear him talking to Carlasona, but he has extensive conversations with anyone who goes out to see him. :D

[KnKShowmom]

Thanks VB for starting this thread, I've been wondering how he was doing - can not believe the things this poor guy has endured in his short life!

Hugs, jingles and best wishes from another member of his VA fan club.

[Arab/WBGirl]

OMG, Junior is truly Murphy's Law personified!! Glad to hear he is doing better from his latest experience. Thanks SJ for updating us. Please tell that boy to be more careful! The Junior Fan Club maybe needs to start a fundraiser for some bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts for that child.
Dawn

[showjumpers66]

:lol: Isn't that the truth!!!

[Summerwood]

OMG, Junior is truly Murphy's Law personified!! Glad to hear he is doing better from his latest experience. Thanks SJ for updating us. Please tell that boy to be more careful! The Junior Fan Club maybe needs to start a fundraiser for some bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts for that child.
Dawn

So true!! Now someone stepped on his head?? The poor little guy just can't catch a break. He's going to be the million dollar baby pretty soon :winkgrin:. Poor Junior---get well soon!

[showjumpers66]

He is home! He looks like doo, but he is home. :D

[Arab/WBGirl]

Glad Junior is home. I hope we can start hearing stories about Junior's mischief making instead of his medical dramas. Bless his little pea pickin' heart LOL.
Dawn

[VirginiaBred]

He is home! He looks like doo, but he is home. :D

You'll fix that easily enough. Glad to hear he's where he should be! Keep us posted!

[titansrunfarm]

Glad your Junior is home :)

[VirginiaBred]

And how is Junior? :winkgrin:

[showjumpers66]

He was home for about 5 days. When we stopped the Naxcel, he spiked a 105 temp again. The vet changed meds. That next morning, we found him in his stall with hemorraghic diarrhea. We almost lost him, again. He has so anemic. :( Poor kid. The vet suggested that we euthanize him, but we insisted that it was a reaction to the medication. Sure enough, he responded quickly to fluids and is on the mend. We hope to pick him up tomorrow. If this poor colt didn't have bad luck, he would have no luck.

[Summerwood]

Thank God for you guys to take care of him. Get well soon, Junior!!! And keep yourself out of trouble!

[sfstable]

Wow, just wow, poor little guy :no:

[Seven-up]

Oh my goodness, that poor little guy has gone thru more in his short little life than most horses go thru in 20 years! Just breaks my heart that he can't seem to catch a break.

Jingling for him to get over this latest snafu and for Life to quit kicking that poor little munchkin around!

[Arab/WBGirl]

Junior not only needs to be wrapped in bubblewrap and packed in styrofoam peanuts, but apparently also needs to be placed inside a giant bubble as well. Bless his heart!! He is such a cute little guy. I so hope he has reached the end of his rough road and can finally get to enjoy being a healthy, boisterous colt. Please keep his fan club updated. Jingles from Alabama for the boy.
Dawn

[Cancara]

Poor fellow, but thank you very much for the updates and to the thread starter- I was wondering about him too but thought I'd just missed a thread as I don't get here very often. I really hope things are soon looking up for him.

[VirginiaBred]

Oh no Junior!!! :no: You have GOT to get to feeling better!

You know Barbara, "something" makes me ask about him. Give him a squeeze from me please.

[EquineLVR]

OH NO! That poor baby.. HUGE HUGE JINGLES FOR HIM!!

[3Dogs]

OMG - Barb - that poor colt! HUGE jingles for Junior

[FalseImpression]

oh Junior... you are so so lucky you were born at Silvercreek! Please get well soon. Only then, will Barb post a picture of you...and we all want to see you very very soon.

Barb, thanks again for all you do for all your charges, big and small.

[KnKShowmom]

Junior is an in-it-to-win-it kinda of guy and kudos to you for letting him fight his fight. I know a lot of owners (and horses) would have given up by now but this guy seems to know you are on his side and when he finally gets his legs under him, I think you are going to have one special horse on your hands!

More jingles and hope to see pictures of him feeling better very soon!

[CathyKb]

Oh My - Huge jingles and hugs for Junior!! I love that little colt and life has not been fair to him. Thanks Barb for all your great care of him.

When he gets healthy, you know where I live.:yes:;)

[Laurierace]

If you an get him over all these problems he is going to be the most people friendly horse ever. Jingles for an end to this roller coaster once and for all in a good way.

[VirginiaBred]

[quote=KnKShowmom] I think you are going to have one special horse on your hands! [quote]

That she will never, ever sell (I hope). :)

[juniormom]

I am thinking positive and I bet she never sells him either! He is very fortunate to be in the home he is in. Maybe he just wanted to get all of his issues out in the beginning and he will be perfectly healthy from now on!! I am looking forward to the updates and to see what he does career wise. Of course, bubble wrap may not be a bad idea! :)

[showjumpers66]

Thank you so much for the good wishes! Rachael just got home with him. Poor little dude looks really rough. Hopefully, we will be able to get him over this hump.

[DownYonder]

Barb, I am so sorry for poor little Junior. He has been through so much. Many jingles that he will turn the corner and blossom into a healthy boy with no more bumps in the road.

[Blacklabs]

Checking in to see how Junior is doing? Hopefully over his bumps in the road and on his way to being a big healthy boy.

[3Dogs]

Barb - continuing jingles for Junior - and I'd say he has had mountains to get over, not humps, poor guy!

[showjumpers66]

He is doing okay. He looks terrible ... no muscle and a huge pot belly. I should be happy that he is alive, but I am disappointed that he looks so bad for his inspection tomorrow. He was absolutely lovely.

[trakmom]

Could we get a picture of Junior, battle scars and all? Bless his heart, if he makes it past babyhood, I'm sure he'll make a superior horse. He'll be able to handle anything.

[showjumpers66]

Here is week 1 - http://www.silvercreeksporthorses.com/images/IMG_0689.JPG

week 3 - http://www.silvercreeksporthorses.com/images/IMG_0730.JPG

I don't have anything more recent than that, but you'll get to see him on-line tomorrow at his inspection. http://www.silvercreeksporthorses.com/inspection.htm I doubt he will be scored as it just wouldn't be fair to him. He is so very thin right now from the hemorraghic diarrhea episode.

[juniormom]

I still think he is beautiful! Maybe I am biased........but he has our blessings and good wishes! :)

[VirginiaBred]

I still think he is beautiful! Maybe I am biased........but he has our blessings and good wishes! :)


You are trying to sneak in because you have his name! :) ;)

Jokes aside, he is extremely good looking. Us horse folks can see past all the other stuff.

[Home Again Farm]

Poor little guy. Jingling that this is the last bad spell for him. He is a lovely baby.

[showjumpers66]

Thanks, y'all! He looks so bad right now, but I think he is going to be very nice if we can just get past the hump.

[juniormom]

I didn't think about the "name" part.........lol! I do think he is "precious" and know that he will be very special! Our best horses for our daughter have been the "diamonds in the rough" so we are used to looking past a lot of things.............. Junior has a wonderful future ahead of him! I just think he wanted to get "all of his problems out early on" and then he won't have to mess with them anymore. ;)

[showjumpers66]

Things are looking grim again and it may be time to call it quits. We have invested well over $10,000 into Junior's medical care and now he may need exploratory surgery next week (possibly $3500 to $5000). It appears that he has an abdominal abscess. As much as we want to, we just can not justify the expense for a 50/50 chance after everything else he has been through. It is such a hard decision, but so many people have followed Junior's story that we feel his fans deserve to have a voice in this also.

[misita]

I've been following this thread SJ. So sorry to hear the update. No words of wisdom. Jingles and prayers for you and the baby.

[Blacklabs]

Sending jingles for Junior and many prayers for you. Such a tough decision.

[VirginiaBred]

Oh dam it all. Are you positive surgery is necessary? I'm voting to give him a chance, but I absolutely know what you are saying.

[bloomingtonfarm]

I was in a hurry this morning and there was no way I had time to go on my computer but I felt compelled to open the Coth forum and I choose to read this thread...And it was the first time so I read it all from the beginning…

How strange...

You see, the vet is coming this morning to euthanize Durango my loving dear yearling colt. He broke his elbow as a baby (three weeks) and bad luck then started to strike him.

One…two…three operations later, way over 15K vet bill, massage, Bowen therapy, hand walking all winter long… He was coming along but in the past few weeks his situation has deteriorated and the vet came to do RXs…and the prognostic is so bad that she suggest it would be better to put him down.

It is hard to take such a decision. Before each operation we were asking ourselves if we should continue or not but we did, we thought he deserve another chance. I got closer to him every single day as he needed so much special care.

Now he has decided for us … it has become too hard for him to continue his journey and he has given up…

The vet called me Thursday on the result and she is coming this morning. Those last two days were horrible. But today is worst. I know, I know it is what has to be done, he won’t suffer, in fact his suffering will end up and he will not even know what is going on… I didn’t want to be there but he trusts me so much that it is the least I can do for him.

So Showjumper … Durango is a nice little guy. If you decide that Junior should end up his misery, I will ask Durango to be there for him as a big brother…he was such a loving soul; no doubt Junior will be in good hand.

As I wrote not so long ago on a previous thread for someone who had his mare euthanatized … they will be in peace but now it is up to us to be in peace with ourselves.

So I sure do sympathized with you and I am sure your decision will be the best for both of you.

We just have to be strong for them.

[DownYonder]

Barb, I am so sorry to hear this latest news. I know you and Summer and everyone at Silver Creek have gone "above and beyond" for this little guy. Be at peace with your decision, and Godspeed to Junior when the time comes. He will be rejoice at being reunited with his dam. I will never forget the sight of him laying down with her - only a newborn foal, yet trying to comfort her. What a courageous soul he has been.

Bloomington, Godspeed to your guy, too. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do for them is to let them go.

[3Dogs]

Barb - I am just so sorry - soo soo sorry. I know you and Summer have done EVERYTHING to give this guy a chance. If they can't just drain the abcess and think it can be cured without major invasion, well, damn :no::no:

On an up note, I just got my latest COTH and what a FINE FINE colt is that "After Burn"

[Laurierace]

I can't believe this poor guy's luck. I certainly can't fault you for not wanting to put him through any more procedures.

[Home Again Farm]

Sometimes it is just time to let go. Poor little guy has been through so much and you and Summer have done everything and more to try to pull him through crisis after crisis. I wish you both peace of mind and the knowledge that you have done all you can.

{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}

[genevieveg17]

Darn it all. I am so sorry Barb. I have followed his journey since the very beginning while watching his mom on MareStare. You have done so much for the little guy and he has battled through so much.
If you decide to let him go I am sure Larona is waiting for him at the rainbow bridge.
Hugs to you and all at Silver Creek.

Bloomington - Godspeed to your sweet colt as well. What a difficult day for you.

[maybedog]

Poor little guy. At least in your hearts you know you have done all you could to help him. Maybe all he really wants is to be with his Mom.

[vineyridge]

Abdominal abscesses are the worst. I had one in a mare, and she didn't have a chance even with surgery. Ultrasound showed that.

If IV antibiotic drips won't cure it because of all the peripheral damage, you will be doing what is best for Junior. He has to be suffering now.

God Bless you for caring enough to do the right thing by his old soul.

[hrfponies]

I agree. Maybe it is time to let him go. He has been through so much. You guys have all done a great job trying to give him a good shot at life. :cry:

[trakmom]

It's with tears in my eyes that I write this. Know in your heart you and Summer have done everything possible to help Junior, but it seems his problems are unsurmountable. Maybe he just misses his dam too much to ever get healthy. I know she'll be happy to see him.

[vineyridge]

I hate to do this, but I've searched and searched and can't find Junior's story other than he was the contest foal.

Would one of you kind people reiterate his history, please?

[juniormom]

I am so sorry that you are in this position. Even when you know you have done everything, it is so hard to "make this decision." It is frustrating when you and Junior have worked so hard. Please know that he has had the "best of everything" while here and has a ton of friends, both on earth and over the "rainbow bridge." He is beautiful! He will help you make this decision.

I know that I speak for everyone here in that we will all stand behind you, whatever your decision. You know what is right for you and for Junior.

Take care and we are all sending lots of jingles your way! :sadsmile:

[Summerwood]

:cry: I am so sorry Barb. It would be impossible to not be attached to the little guy by now. I know you will make the right decision for him. You have done so much to give this little guy a chance at life, so much more than would be expected of anyone. Maybe his momma is calling him now. God Bless you in your decision, and bless Junior for being such a wonderful little man. Hugs for all of you.

[spacely]

I am so sorry Barb. I know you guys will make the right decision for him. :(

[KnKShowmom]

Oh, I am so shocked to see this update, especially when I was one of the lucky ones who got to see him on camera the other day - what a beautiful boy and you have given him more chances than anyone could have asked.

I came across this forum and your thread by accident (blame it on marestare) but have enjoyed the opportunity to revisit the things I loved about the breeding business. This is one of the parts however that we all dread and there are never the right words to make it better.

Barb, you are wise and caring beyond comparison and I know you will do what is best for Junior - may you find peace and comfort in the time you had with this special little guy and know that his mom will be waiting to take care of him forever.

God Bless you all.

[EquineLVR]

I am so so sad to see this... I thought for sure he would make it.

I know you will all do what is best for him especially if he is suffering..

I am so sorry.. lots of jingles and prayers.

[Seven-up]

Oh, no!! :cry:

You guys have really gone above and beyond for him. I don't think there are many other places where he would have had the chance to make it this far. If he were mine, there would be no other place I'd want him to be than with you.

Hugs to all at S.C.-- I can't imagine how hard this is for all of you.:( I know you'll do what's best for him.

[FairWeather]

How utterly heartbreaking, i'm so sorry.

[sfstable]

I am so sorry to hear about the latest turn. :cry: You will make the right decision when and if the time comes, you have done so much for him, he truly is a lucky little fellow in many ways.

[showjumpers66]

Thank you so much for the support. We have been tossing around some ideas about creating a Save Junior fund so that we could possibly continue as long as there were options, but don't know about how to go about doing something like that. Our concern is that this may not be the final issue. Monday the vet will be back out to ultrasound his abdomen again and we will make a decision then.

[genevieveg17]

Barb that sounds like a great plan! Count me in.
I hope the ultrasound tomorrow brings good news.

[misita]

Barb that sounds like a great plan! Count me in.
I hope the ultrasound tomorrow brings good news.

I can pitch in a little too.

[EquineLVR]

I will pitch in too!! Keep us posted!

[showjumpers66]

You guys are awesome! Does anyone have any experience with setting something like this up?

Here are pics of Junior from the inspection -

[Blacklabs]

I think that's a great idea.I have set up three funds ( a mare, a foal and a dog) and the way they were done was once we had the vet's name people could mail a check or call the vet with their cc and the vet would credit their account.
Can you post the name of the vet and their number? Do you feel all services would be done by the same vet?

[Wishes R Horses]

What a special colt. Thank you for your outstanding efforts in giving him every chance. I am sure you will know what is best to do for this baby when the time comes. He has certainly earned your love and attention. Please keep us informed as we keep you in our thoughts.

[FalseImpression]

Barb (and Summer), I have learned so much watching you and reading your posts on this bb and on MS. I totally respect your decisions. I am not the one seeing this poor little fellow hurt every day. I am not the one paying his bills either. I, and by all the previous posts, lots of other people also agree that you have gone above and beyond for him ... He has quite the following obviously and is very much loved. I missed his foaling, but have followed since day 1. We all love him, we all hope for a miracle.

But, if there is no miracle to be, know that we all support you. Give him a big hug for all of us and let's all hope he finds his mom among all the beautiful horses that have been called to the rainbow bridge lately.

Was it not Annikak who had an orphan foal with such an abscess? That little guy was touch and go, but he made it. Jingling very loud (because I am far away) for Junior and SilverCreek.

[juniormom]

Good luck to you and sending you lots of jingles too! Count us in if you set up a fund.......please post the details. I know you will make the best decision for all of you. Junior's pics are lovely, in spite of all of his issues! He is "one special horse!" (with very special owners!)

[Centuree]

I'd also like to help out if you set up a fund. Keep us posted.

[wrightwoodfarms]

Just logged on after a couple of week absence, and saw this update. My heart breaks for you and all involved. The pictures from the inspection look like such an elegant foal, and those EYES. How darling. I am just praying like mad for a positive report from the vet tomorrow. You and Junior will be in my thoughts and prayers all day tomorrow. Godspeed.

[Cancara]

Please let me know if you go ahead with a fund. I am sure there are ways- how was it done to raise funds for getting horses out of trouble in off course?

[SOTB]

I don't know the entire story, but have been following this thread.... just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and your little guy!

[CathyKb]

Barb - I really hope there is good news today. My heart fell to the ground when I read this. Jingles and hugs for all of you and of course our boy Junior. I thought he looked wonderful in his inspection pictures, I do love that boy.

[DownYonder]

Barb, let us know how things went today with the vet. I will be happy to donate to a fund for Junior. I do so hope you got encouraging news.

[genevieveg17]

Checking in one last time before I log off for the night. I was hoping there would be a positive Junior update. I guess we can hope that no news is good news!

[juniormom]

I am hoping the same thing - no news is good news..........

[showjumpers66]

Sorry all ... crazy day today and just sitting down at the computer. Junior's recheck today was really good news. On ultrasound, the mass was gone so they are hoping that it had been a fluid filled gas pocket. His blood work has also improved. He is still very lathargic and not normal, but things are looking up for the time being. We are to keep him on antibiotics until his next week. Again, thank you so very, very much for the support!!!

[Wishes R Horses]

Thank you for the update and the great news. I must say, my hands are getting really beat up from jingling so hard for this colt. Good thoughts for continued luck.

[DownYonder]

Junior's recheck today was really good news. On ultrasound, the mass was gone so they are hoping that it had been a fluid filled gas pocket. His blood work has also improved.

Yeah, hooray! Come on, Junior! You can do it, little guy!

On a side note, do you think something like Immunall might help give him a boost?

[VirginiaBred]

Nice to read this first thing in the morning!

[KnKShowmom]

Ah, much better news!

Keeping my fingers crossed, curb chains jingling, dusting off the rabbits foot, and hanging up horseshoes for the little guy to keep fighting!

Go Junior!!!!

[SOTB]

Yay! I'll keep my fingers crossed for more good news!

[Home Again Farm]

That is excellent news. Jingling non-stop from FL for the wee one...

[EquineLVR]

YAY!! HUGE JINGLES COMING FROM CO!! Come on Junior!!!

[FalseImpression]

Yes, good news this morning. Go Junior Go!
I hope this is the LAST time you scare us like that!!
Barb, do you think all these problems are related to the fact he was orphaned or is it just bad luck?

I will be away from a computer until Monday night... hang in there Junior... and Barb... and Summer... and SilverCreek!!

[titansrunfarm]

Phew, glad to hear some good news! C'mon lil' Junior, you can do it.

[trakmom]

Oh so nice to hear some good news. I'd like to know if all his health problems stem from him seeming to be so attached to his dam, and her passing so soon after he was born.

[Justice]

Hooray for Junior! Jingles from Michigan, and what a lucky baby to be in such competent and loving hands.

[juniormom]

Jingles from NC too..........It is more than time for good luck to come your way! :)

[VirginiaBred]

Keep the fan club in the loop........;)

[showjumpers66]

So far, so good! We will recheck his bloodwork next Monday unless something changes before then.

[desilu]

What a rocky road the little man has been on. So glad he's on the upswing. Continued jingles as always from Florida.

[Arab/WBGirl]

Jingling like crazy for Junior. My laptop went to the big hard drive in the sky, and I just bought a new one today. I hated to see the latest on Junior, but was so relieved to read the most recent good news. Hoping for good news on Monday, and I too, would be honored to contribute to a Junior fund. However it turns out for him, he couldn't have been given better care. Get well for all of us Junior. We love you little man.
Dawn

[Arab/WBGirl]

Just bumping for an update. Any news on Junior today?

[showjumpers66]

Sorry, y'all! I have been out of town. He is doing much better. If anything else comes up, I will set up the fund but so far so good!! All the good wishes have done wonders. :D

[VirginiaBred]

He is doing much better!


Good to read! We love you Junior!!!

[Arab/WBGirl]

Glad to hear Junior is on the road to recovery yet again (I bet he can trot down that road with his eyes closed as many times as he has made that trip LOL). This is enough Junior. Now go back to being the cute little brat you are supposed to be. The only things we want to hear about from now own are what mischief making you have been up to.
Dawn

[sfstable]

Sorry, y'all! I have been out of town. He is doing much better. If anything else comes up, I will set up the fund but so far so good!! All the good wishes have done wonders. :D

Yeah !!!! :):):):)

[juniormom]

That's great news!

[Dressage_Diva333]

I don't know his original story, but gosh what rotten luck! I just read this whole thread, and am adding some more jingles from California!

Someone mentioned Immunall a page or two back. I have a sick foal right now that has got everybody stumped. Spent a week in ICU at UC Davis, and has been getting round the clock care here at home... we still don't know what's wrong. However, after starting her on Immunall, the snotty nose went away, and her attitude perked up within three days. I'm planning to keep her on it until after (if) we get over this. I've already spent $$$$$$ on this filly, so the Immunall is a very small expense comared to that. I'd definately consider it if I were you :yes:


Can somebody post the original story on Junior? He sure sounds like a tough little guy though!

[sfstable]

Go to this thread http://www.chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=193350&page=71 and start with post #1408. Short version -- his mother fractured her hip (I believe) during foaling and had to be put down. He then has had one complication after another but he seems to have a HUGE desire to beat the odds. COTH has "adopted" him. :)

[juniormom]

Any recent updates on the little one?

[showjumpers66]

He is doing really good right now. :D Fingers crossed, it stays that way!

[KnKShowmom]

:D:D YEA!!! Great news to start the week! :D:D

[trakmom]

Junior is such a fighter; I knowhe will be good in whatever discipline he goes into. Yea for Barb and her Bunch!

[VirginiaBred]

He is doing really good right now. :D Fingers crossed, it stays that way!
