Their condition had been declining for some time, and they had been living in a paddock with deep, nasty mud and muck. Teddy had been living with terrible projectile watery diarrhea, and his hind end and tail were thickly coated and crusty. After a friend of a concerned neighbor reached out to a nearby animal control with no apparent response, they contacted AAE. The neighbor worked with their owner who agreed to surrender the pair to AAE. Teddy and Kody's basic care had been neglected. They had thick, winter coats hiding their very bony bodies. They were emaciated, they had long hooves, and their teeth were in dire need of care. Teddy got a quick clean-up after they unloaded (compare the socks in intake photos), then a deeper cleaning after settling in for a couple days. They were started on a refeeding program consistent with UC Davis protocol for refeeding emaciated horses. Thankfully, Teddy's diarrhea resolved with the help of medication. Once they stabilized and were healthy enough for sedation, they received much needed dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and they got microchips.
