Kevin Crosby Obituary – A horse barn that caught fire two weeks ago is currently being treated at a hospital after the owner of the barn became unwell as a result of injuries he incurred while attempting to save his horses. After spending the previous week in intensive care, Kevin Crosby is still being treated at the hospital facility in Halifax. According to his daughter, Candice Crosby, the family has received an overwhelming amount of assistance from all around the province and even from far places like England. It has been some of the most difficult weeks of our lives, what with the experience of the fire combined with the illness that my father is currently experiencing.
The emotional toll is high. “However, we are extremely grateful to have the backing of the community at this very moment, because if it weren’t for that, I have no idea what we would be doing at this very moment,” she remarks. At the Avon Animal Hospital in Windsor, the mare was administered treatment for the severe burns that she incurred. Their care has been difficult, according to Dr. Paul Johnston, since in addition to the serious burns, the mare had psychological trauma and rejected her foal in the days following the fire. Their care has been difficult because of this. The mother may have been nervous due to the scent of smoke that was present on the newborn animal, according to Johnston.
Due to the fact that the mare refused to nurse, the personnel had to feed the foal milk through a bottle or bottle. According to Johnston, they need to keep the couple near together yet physically apart in order to prevent the mare from hurting the foal. Since then, Lily and Bea have reconciled their differences and are making a full recovery. Crosby, who works as a veterinarian in Calgary, traveled back home twice when his father got gravely ill last week. The first time was after the fire, and the second time was after the fire. She claims that he has told her that the recovery of the mare and foal has provided her father with strength.
“When he lost the other horses, in his own words it was like losing a whole family at once,” Candice Crosby said in her interview. “Being able to see the mare and foal recovering as they are, it’s been really important for their whole healing from the event.” The family is hopeful that after the new barn is constructed, Crosby’s father will be able to take pleasure in it, despite the fact that he will continue to be hospitalized for some time. “We need everyone’s thoughts and prayers to help my dad get through this.”
