We are so incredibly thankful for the love and support being shown for Atlas and his mom/owner, Jen. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared the GoFundMe, or reached out with kind words and encouragement.
For those who have been asking, Atlas developed colic Friday night and the local vet discovered he had a very serious impaction. According to OSU, the blockage was severe enough to push his intestine and colon to the side.
After several long days of treatment, he was finally able to enjoy a little hay on Tuesday, which felt like such a hopeful step. He still isn’t stable enough to come home yet, but we’re thankful for every bit of progress.
Atlas is also receiving care for an eye injury. Because he was still somewhat sedated during the trip to OSU, it seems he may have bumped his head or face in the trailer. His eye was treated right away at OSU, but it became very swollen on Tuesday and needs some additional care.
The fundraising goal has been raised to $4,000 to help with Atlas’s continued treatment and recovery while he remains at OSU.
Please keep Atlas and Jen in your thoughts, and if you’re able, continue sharing the GoFundMe link with family, friends, and your community.
