Coco

Coco's albumin level was down to 1.2 when we checked it yesterday. We really need it to get up to 2.2 to be in the low-but-safe range. She is, however, behaving better. She's eating more of her hay, interested a little bit in some grain, she's harder to catch in her stall and last night at 11 even tried to steal some hay when we took her for a little walk down the aisle in the barn.
Her ringworm is clearing up nicely and the sores on her ankles seem to be clearing up also. The swelling has stayed down on her belly and front legs, there's still a little left on her hind legs. She did have her back ankles tipped up akwardly, likely partly from the swelling and partly from being weak and uncomfortable. Yesterday her right ankle had dropped down into it's natural position.
We've still got a way to go but I think we're headed in the right direction...
