Very sick horse

Minnie mare is very ill. Temp 98.5F (normal is ~100), Pulse 30bpm (normal is 32-40) and very weak.  Didn't check respiration rate, but it's labored. her gums are nearly white. She is lethargic and wouldn't stand up from where I found her until Trump bit her on the but.  Now she is in a stall and blanketed with a does of banamine in her while we wait for the vet to get here.  Will update later.

visit from the vet

Horse: temp becoming more normal, gut sounds OK, vet says there is probably not much wrong.

Bull: the wrap is still on, there appear to be no complications, and he will come back to look and change the wrapping in 10 days.

so all is OK. Panic over.
