Tonight will be Annie's rallying point or her time to leave.
I've syringed fluids into her every hour and she's sat up on her chest several times to eat carrots and sliced apples. The donkey herd has visited her regularly.
But she's not sure what to do.................whether to stay with us....... or leave............?
Food and fluids are going in the front end, and lovely droppings are coming out the other end. (That's gratuitous info for owners of equines who understand how critical droppings are.)
We roll her every six hours to avoid compression of her little lungs.
I've made peace with her decision. She's not in pain and if she chooses to stay with us, she will be cherished until the end of her donkey life.
I've held her head in my lap for so many hours in the last few days, stroked and caressed it .......... that I know every little bump and groove beneath the skin.
There's nothing wrong with her clinically, and scientists would laugh at the "broken hearted" theory?
