It’s officially been one week since Scout’s procedure that saved his life!🤎
It’s been a MUCH more relaxing week taking care of Scout and making sure he’s healing correctly. So far everything looks great and he’s staying clear of infection!
For those of you with Highlands, you know how these calves can quickly become more than an animal, more like a family member or pet.
After Scout lost his mom in February, I was heartbroken— not only that we lost her, but because he was now without a mom. It was such a helpless feeling and I knew all I could do was love on him as much as possible. I spent hours each day out there with him and we quickly became bonded.
When he got this sick, I couldn’t believe it. I again felt helpless and like nothing we were trying was going to save him, and losing him truly felt impossible. But we both pushed through and didn’t give up!
I don’t believe Scout will ever leave our place, but if he does, it will be to a really special home.🤎
