Six Mini Mules saved from Killpen
On March, 9th, in coordination with Equine Rescue Network, we saved the lives of six of depressed looking mini mules from the killpens in Bastrop, LA. From there they went to quarantine near Fort Worth, TX and last week they finally arrived at the rescue, tired, malnourished and in need of EqWBR TLC.
|
After a few days they were finally starting to relax even though we had some unexpected snow and cold weather so we we started our intake exams. We found we have two males and four females.
|
With help we are able to confine them between a pipe panel and the stall wall where we gently talk and handle them.
This little sweet heart was one of the first we were able to examine and we found she had a rotting baby tooth that should have shed when her adult tooth came in, but it didn't.
We removed the rotten tooth and she was so good letting us do this since she is not trained, none of them are trained. We also took her temperature, height and weight as we will for all of them.
|
Here is a picture of the tooth before being removed. Her permanent tooth came in behind it and food was decaying between the two teeth, can't tell you how bad it smelled. In addition to being uncomfortable for her, that kind of decay can also cause low grade infection and runny nose and she did have a runny nose. Both the tooth and the runny nose are now gone. Yay!
|
Now that they have been here a week and they are settling in we can deworm them, work with handling them so we can get their feet done, give them vaccines, microchips and what ever else they need. We have also been looking for adopters who will provide wonderful long-term homes and a few will be going to loving families later this month.
Cost so far include the rescue from the killpen, quarantine, transport and health care costs and hay at over $2700.
|
We were blessed by the donation of the beautiful mini cart from the Newton family, which was purchased by Brianna for $700. We thought a cart that transports people was the perfect fundraising item to help with some of the costs of transporting the mini mules.
|
If you would like to help us with a donation for these little cutie pies that would be such a big help.

We are so glad that we have been able to change the lives for these little ones. From their paperwork they are from all over the central southern states and have been without a family to love them for quite some time.
Thank you so much,
Christine Griffin - Founder, President and primary caregiver. |
