Young
Jeffrey is going in for surgery today to have a partial
penectomy. Oh no! Poor Young Jeffrey... But attempts to
get things to stay in place naturally just isn't working
and with summer coming and a much higher risk of
infection, it's time to act now (we also don't want any
risk of frost bite in the colder months destined to
follow).
So
this morning I let everyone, but Young Jeffrey out of
the barn, so I'd be able to catch him easily when the
time came to go to the vet. I came back outside and
found this... Rilo had come up out of his pen--away from
his brother Ranger who he follows like a mirror, just to
sit with Young Jeffrey.
It was
one of those moments that took my breath away. I ran
inside for the camera and came back out to take a
picture of it. Ranger was just outside the barn calling
for his brother to come back outside, but Rilo wouldn't
leave Young Jeffrey.
They
just absolutely AMAZE me sometimes...

Young Jeffrey's surgery was a
complete success! He's back home in our sunroom in a
very clean environment to prevent any infection. He'll
be inside for the next 10 days where I can dote over him
until he makes a full recovery.
He's on very good pain medication to
keep him as comfortable as possible, plus plenty of
antibiotics. And I have tons of nightcrawlers in the
fridge for him to keep him eating and strong.
