When Starfox first came home, he was pretty lean. In no time at all, though, Jackie fattened him up and his coat was beautiful too. Having never been a pastured horse, it was a real treat for Fox to have lots of nice green grass to graze on.
Unfortunately, last Sunday Fox apparently grazed on something toxic, which could have been pretty much ANYthing according to vet. Not being a pastured horse previously, some plant or leaves that both horses probably ate did not effect Banker, but could not be tolerated by fox. He was pretty lethargic by Sunday night so on Monday morning we called to have the vet come out and look at him. She said he was toxic, said we needed to keep him drinking, and gave us some meds for him. By Tuesday night Starfox had died :( Oh the sadness around here was awful...
Such a nice horsey... sigh...
