A sneak peek
A very small little sneaky-peeky, thanks to Rachel who sent this to me from her phone. A quick overview from her of how he’s doing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- He weighs 20 1/2 pounds (yesterday)
- Very strong, actually hard to keep still , to put on hernia belt it took 2 people
- He is dark brown with black ears and feet, nose. Very cute.
- Fleece looks decent, not super, defineatly better than average. He is still young give him some time, especially to see the coat as it grows out.
- He has a little goopy eye, giving some vitamins, and if it continues, opthalmic ointment.
- Still down in his pasturns, but much improved from when he was born. No splinting since they are correcting themselves.
- His umbilical hernia is about the width of a fingertip.
- Mazara is a sweet natured mother, am really proud of her. She cooos and humms to him and was so worried when I took him and was waiting for him when I returned him.

He is so cute!! Forgive my ignorance, but what does “down in his pasturns” mean?

He’s beautiful! I had a cria that was premature and was also down on his pasterns. His legs straightened out just fine on their own.

What a treasure he is! He’ll be one of those dark and mysterious ones and we’ll all be waiting to try some of his fiber!
