As with Summer, Traveler’s previous owners said that they had owned him for two years. According to Doc, his teeth put him at barely over a year. He still has a few baby teeth left in his mouth, and the top two middle adult teeth are just starting to come in. Yet, they had tried to ride him anyway.
The unlimited ignorance of some people truly amaze me.
Doc also found that Traveler has a heart murmur. On a scale from 1 to 6, 6 being the worst, his is between 2 and 3. Hopefully, like Ellie, the murmur is because of him being so underweight and will go away once he’s healthy. Unfortunately, it will affect his weight gain and it will take longer for him to get back up to a healthy weight.
Traveler was also castrated last week and did really well. He recovered quickly and has had no infection and very little swelling. He hasn’t gained much weight, but I’m hopeful that he’ll start gaining soon. I gave him a 350lb dose of Anthelcide last week and will start him on Strongid C next week with Summer.
