After breakfast this morning, Tsogoo and I left with the county governor to visit some herders. We stopped at three different ghers. At the first was a young mother with two small children and we just talked. At the second home, we drank milk tea and Tsogoo did some training. They also brought a sick kid to us. It had a wound on its right hind leg and the leg was swollen. I won't go into detail but it was pretty bad. We suspect that the kid has a disease called caseous lymphadenitis. We did what we could with limited supplies but the prognosis is poor. Our poor driver darted out the door at one point and the county governor followed him after a bit. Thankfully, her son remained behind and got some great pictures for me. He's definitely got a strong stomach. At our last stop, Tsogoo did some more training and we drank milk tea. I am becoming more accustomed to it. We discussed treatment for mastitis in does and scours in kids. One of the herders was kind enough to let me get a picture with one of his baby camels.

We are now stranded in the center of the province with no money, no ID, and no train tickets because Tsegii can't find a ride from Zuunbayan. We are staying with her friend Saraa so we are safe and have food and water. Tsogoo keeps looking at me and saying he doesn't know what to do. God hasn't left me stranded yet; He will provide.
