Help Colt Fight Sepsis After a Traumatic Birth

Just days into his life, Colt is already fighting for survival.

Born on May 6, this precious foal arrived after a difficult and traumatic foaling that quickly became an emergency. During birth, Colt was without oxygen for a period of time, leaving his fragile body struggling to stabilize in those critical first moments of life.

Leap of Faith Equine Rescue and Sanctuary rushed Colt for emergency veterinary care, where he was diagnosed with sepsis — a life threatening infection that can quickly become fatal in newborn foals without immediate intensive treatment.

Right now, Colt is receiving critical hospital care, medications, diagnostics, and around the clock monitoring from his veterinary team. Despite such a frightening start to life, his doctors remain hopeful and believe he has an excellent chance of recovery with continued treatment and support.

Even through everything, Colt is showing the heart of a fighter.

Emergency neonatal care for foals is incredibly expensive, and the costs continue to grow with hospitalization, medications, and supportive treatment needed to keep him stable and healing.

Funds from this campaign will help Leap of Faith Equine Rescue and Sanctuary cover:

• Emergency hospitalization
• Sepsis treatment and medications
• Oxygen and supportive care
• Veterinary monitoring and diagnostics
• Ongoing recovery needs

Leap of Faith Equine Rescue and Sanctuary acted immediately to give Colt every possible chance at life, but they cannot do it alone.

Please help this sweet baby continue fighting toward recovery, strength, and the healthy future he deserves.

Every donation and share truly makes a difference for Colt.
