Horses that got pulled out of mud near Harrisburg still being treated

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The horses who got rescued from a mud hole on Wednesday near Harrisburg are still at the MU Veterinary Clinic.

They are being treated for pneumonia, complications for hypothermia, ulcers--and one of them suffered a foot injury.

The horses got stuck in what was formerly an animal lagoon. It was in the process of being drained--but probably looked dry to the horses. They are expected to be at the vet for the next seven days and are still fighting for their lives.

The horses' owner is working on setting up a GoFundMe to help with the vet bills.
