Accidental Lena AKA Fanci Bar O' Lena

What a Sunday, woke up a little late, hoping it was warm for a change, which it was.  Not long after we started feeding, my son comes running up and says part of Lena's cheek is hanging off. We ran back to the pasture and sure enough she had a serious wound on her face.  Our immediate plan of action began, my mind was groggy only moments ago, but now  it raced with thoughts. 

Lena came to us with a scar on her side from an injury that definitely had stitch marks.  She also had a large growth on her elbow.  We had the growth removed and biopsied, no cancer, whew! Lena loves the sun, not a lazy shade dweller, she is always playing and basking in the sun.  So, to prevent future growths on her pink skinned body, sunscreen is in her daily routine when needed.  Lena always smells like she's going to the beach or pool.  Thank goodness for Lena's sake they carry spray sunscreen with a 70 spf and it's waterproof, her next favorite thing to do. 



Fanci Lena spent most of the day Saturday playing with the donkey guardians, a standard and mini Jack, that are to be gelded this spring.  The kids remember late in the evening seeing Everette the mini palying rough with Lena and somewhat hanging on her face?! HMMMM.  Neither of them are talking, but $300 later Lena is not phased by the incident and Everette spent the day in his pen.  Lena had torn muscle which took an internal stitch and the outside flap of skin matched up perfectly,  Staples all the way around finished off the Doc's good work.   Several injections for, tetanus, an antibiotic, and bute sent her home feeling pretty good.  She felt good enough in fact that she was playing with Paco the standard Donkey.  Lena was put in her own pen for the night and Paco sleeps with Everette.  Alls well that ends Well......
