Thanks for your reply vetsbestfriend. I hope your boy continues to do well. My girl recovered well and no further episodes thank goodness but I’m monitoring always and the worry never quite goes away. Sorry for late reply - almost two and a half years ago!

Thanks Scats for your reply but very sorry to hear about your boy

Hi Pepsimax, for some reason I’ve only just seen your reply to my post over two years ago! Glad to hear your girl is doing well after colic surgery and associated complications...what a worry it must have been 😕 It’s been almost two and a half years since my girl had surgery and thank god...

My mare has had several surgeries to remove melanomas - under tail and in parotid area and will be having more removed next year. My vet has not suggested/offered laser treatment so would be interested to hear how your boy gets on - good luck.

They did indeed put me in a position where there was no other option. As I said in my original post they have a reputation for this type of behaviour which sadly I wasn't aware of until it was too late. I've since spoken to 'escapees' fro that yard who've said I wasn't the first and probably...

Thank you be positive - very wise words. I have now found a yard which does care about the horses' welfare and they have set up a small paddock for my mare. I just wish I hadn't had to make the move whilst she was still recovering from surgery. The previous yard had let me use the small paddock...

Another vote for Swish. Have the 50g and 360g and both are excellent

My mare had colic surgery two months ago and last weekend she completed her two months box rest and was able to be turned out into a small paddock. Despite several reasonable requests (from me to YO) during the preceding week for her to use one of the small paddocks, I was refused (she's usually...

thanks for your reply eggs...good to hear such a positive outcome for your horses brother but sorry to hear about your youngster. We don't know what caused my mare's colic unfortunately

Really pleased to hear that...I've been thinking of you!

So, after a very stressful couple of weeks, my lovely mare came home from hospital last week after colic surgery. She had a displaced colon (right dorsal displacement) and a large impaction. The vet wasn’t sure whether impaction caused displacement or vice-versa. She is making a good recovery...

Thank you be positive

Hi flyawaywish, my lovely mare came home last week after colic surgery. I'm desperate to do anything within my control to keep her healthy and colic free. Whilst researching online I stumbled across your post from a few years back. I would really love to have a chat if that's ok?

There's a FB page called Turmeric Users Group- you just ask to join the group. It's overseen by a vet and there are lots of success stories about turmeric and sarcoids. Good luck!

I'm still trying to contact you luckilotti - I have sent two messages but apparently they haven't reached you as I've reached my PM quota- I've only sent one PM prior to this so it must be a very small quota! I've contacted admin to resolve and will keep trying to reach you. Very frustrating!
