We believe that Guida’s discomfort was due to poor diet and digestive issues. With natural forage, improved diet and daily GI support, we haven’t seen any signs of cramping or colic as we did at the farm. Both girls needed a lot of foot care, but Guida’s toenails were superbly overgrown. Their feet are good now, but foot issues can lie dormant for years, deep inside the foot, so there is no guarantee that something won’t pop up down the line. They definitely could have been worse, so we are pleased with their current condition.

I also noticed that Scott took a photograph of either Guida’s or Maia’s toenails in a bad state, how are they now?

They are both in their 40s. We are hopeful they will stay around for a very long time, but captivity can be extremely hard on their bodies, so you never know how long you will get with them, so we try to treat each day as a gift.

I hope they are young enough to have many years of a whole new life.
