She looked like she was holding on to some hay and grass in her mouth. We noticed that on Sunday, and I just thought she's got something stuck in her mouth, but she wouldn't let us get close enough to help her. Today she was walking stiffly, and the kids said something was wrong with her leg. We had the vet come and look at her, and he said it's probably tetanus. He gave her a tetracycline shot but said that the paralysis doesn't reverse, and she will probably die. She still looks strong and she wants to live. She isn't showing sign of pain. But she keeps trying to drink water and I'm not sure if she is getting it in or not. Watching her out the window now. It looks like she is getting water, but some of it drips out of her mouth when she picks her head up. She is still trying. I can't give up on her. She is even still nursing her baby. She doesn't look that sick or disabled.
