Patsy, one of the original Sand Wash Basin girls, was in training and coming along nicely when we noticed a rapid drop in her weight followed by a serious bout of colic. She made the journey to CSU for intervention and came through after a week of treatment. During this process, she had lost quite a bit of weight and we found out that she only had one kidney. The stress of the situation, being separated from her herd and being so sick had taken a toll on her physically and emotionally. The best medicine for her once back home would be her herd, so we turned her out to the sanctuary pasture. It took nearly six months, but Patsy finally made a full recovery mind, body and spirit and lives her life now with the comfort of her herd, the best place for her.
