This is the update that Beth posted relating to Jordan and Romeo...please take a moment to say a special prayer for this little guy, hopefully he will be ok soon!!



This afternoon we went out to play with Romeo and he was breathing way to fast and was very hot feeling. I took his temp and it was 106. I called the vet and he was only ten minutes away and came here immediately. He gave him medicine IV to bring the temp down but it was not working quick enough. He hosed him down for quite a while with cool water and then covered him with rubbing alcohol. His temp was down to 103.2 the last time I took it. I will be giving him shots to try to keep it down through the night and monitoring him very closely. We brought he and Jordan into the Mini barn so we could put several fans on them and keep him really cool. We don't really know yet if it is just that he got to hot or if it is something viral. The vet suspects that it is the heat. We had cool temps and very cool nights until a few days ago and all of a sudden the temps are in the mid nineties. He suspects that he has not acclimated to the change yet. I really have not checked the mares closely but will do that and update you on all of it a little later. Just wanted to let you know what is going on.

I'm watching and he is breathing very fast again, I'm crossing my fingers.

Todays update on Romeo (posted on Freeland's message board)!!!!

Thank you so much for all your concern and prayers for Romeo. He seems to be much better this morning. we monitored him throughout the night and gave him meds to prevent his fever from spiking. His temp was down to 102.2 this morning. It went back up a little after he got out and started running around, but was still under 103. We put the big fan (and believe me it blows allot of air) under the outside shelter. Romeo seems to love it. He actually stays by it much more than Jordan or Joanie. He was standing in front of it when Joanie came under the shelter...the little brat put his ears back as if to tell her"this is my fan and you are not getting it". I will be checking his temperature throughout the day and have meds to give him if I need to. Hopefully with the fan he won't get so hot again.
