Will you help me save another life? Meet “Lil Man”, who is anything but little. He is a BLM kid and was working on his 3rd strike. We all know what that means. He is one of the homeliest, goofiest looking kids we have ever tried to save, but man is he sweet, and I couldn’t “not” give him a chance. I said yes on Faith and the trust that y’all always come through for these precious souls.
He was a “medical”, which means I was told he most likely needed surgery on his hocks as the guesstimated diagnosis was OCD. His legs look horrible and he is just a hot mess, but wants to run and play. Doc said give him a chance and let him grow into the mess that is his body.
He would not have had any chance of living if he was deemed needing surgery, so we were asked to give him his last chance. I could not wait on the decision, as I only had a couple hours to make sure he was safe. The folks at BLM were amazing and helped me get through the paperwork, as he had been “returned” by someone else previously.
Apparently, his body is growing way too fast and his poor joints are not keeping up and they often end up with bone chips floating around causing pain and crippling issues. His left front foot buckles horribly to the side when he moves and is tired. He is just a baby, about 3 years old, and the look in his eyes was “please give me a chance”.
We really need more help with milk pellets and powder and to pay off the vet bill. The babies are going through a bucket of milk powder about every 5 days, in addition to milk pellets. We had a wonderful donation for big bales of hay, but the babies need small bales and a completely different mix. They also need their special baby grain. We were blessed to have Dustin Time come and take some of the babies to their rescue. However Chilly Pepper incurred all the initial costs and still have babies. Arielle is doing much better, (the one who was attacked by the mountain lion), although we needed a special vet visit and I also need more clay for her. She says THANK YOU!
I was told when they found Arielle they said we have 2 choices. We either turn her loose and let nature take it’s course, or “I know a lady”. Thankfully, they brought her to me.
THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU, FOR BEING SO AMAZING FOR THESE PRECIOUS SOULS! YOU are the reason so many lives are saved! I appreciate every single one of our Chilly Pepper Family. God has truly blessed this rescue!
