and YES, it is only the instrumental version of Skinny Love, i though it suited it more. and if you have anything mean to say, go jump.
I found Cookie at 6 in the morning on 9th May 2011. He was decent looking, but couldn't stand himself. His mother had totally rejected him from birth and he was lying there falling asleep, he had no strength at all, he couldn't even stand by himself, as you will see in the Day 1 section of the video. The vet was called at around 9 as we noticed the mother had no interest in him what so ever. Gen, the mother, then got 1 dose of 'dope' (sedative), which should of knocked out a 16.2hh warmblood.. Gen is only a 15hh Hanoverian twin. We tried, and the vet, to get milk from her teats, she was lashing out violently, there was absolutely no hope of getting the mares milk for Cookie. Gen was a wicked horse to start with, even the vet called her a bitch multiple times, haha! She then got 2 more doses of 'dope', which should of knocked out a 16.2 stallion, this did nothing to this stubborn little mare.
-For a newborn foal to realistically survive in this world, it needs the mares milk straight away, as this contains antibodies that the foal needs, this 'start up milk' is called 'Colostrum'. Colostrum is very hard to find in Scotland, it sadly isn't shelf stocked as its shelf life isn't long. It was essential for Cookies start in this world! The vet made multiple phone calls everywhere, and finally found a tub of this, Colostrum. By half 11 o clock, he had drank the Colostrum.
At the start of day 2, he was full of beans, chasing me up and down the stables, neighing, nibbling me, suckling my fingers and licking my face, he was adorable, hehe. It's strange how quickly a bond can grow, isn't it? He looked brand new, Cookie needed bottle feeding 'every 2 hours', this was tough, but I was willing, and by this point, we had 'Aintree Foal Milk', a substitute milk for Cookie. He quickly declined, by the afternoon of day 2 of this life, he was frail, boney and tucked up at his behind. He had gotten the Colostrum too late, but this couldn't of been helped, and bearing in mind he couldn't get up by himself, things didn't look good.
Im not going to go into too much detail, as this is really hard for me to write. I was like his 'mother', Gen was not interested one bit.
Day 3, he was awful. At 6pm he literally dying. He was shaking violently, he could barely walk. As you can see in the video, he was down with blankets over him, keeping his body heat in. By this point aswell, he wasn't producing any 'stool', only peeing, anything could have been wrong, from lying down so long he could have had a twisted gut, or perhaps a fractured rib from when Gen kicked him right across the stable from trying too suckle. I lay out in the stables with him right up to half 3 in the morning, he didn't like being left alone, I was his 'mother', he was my child, haha :').
By half 3 he was still fidgeting and struggling to breathe.
Half 6 came, in the morning...
The vet was called out, he was lifeless, the only thing that kept him alive the past 3 days where his body fat he was born with. He had none of that, he was literally a breathing skeleton.
- Inchneuk's Cookie was put down at around 7.
Ive been in tears for 2 days straight, had 4 hours sleep in the past 2 days, but I'm glad I got to spend time with him while he was here. It was hard seeing the vet put the jag in him, to put him to sleep, but he went peacefully.
so if you have been kind enough, put COOKIE CRUMBLE in your comment.
- I got too name him Cookie when i was lying in the stable with him on his last night.. ;'/
