    Advice - colic yesterday not eating today

    Thanks everyone but the outcome is the worst and we have just had Coral put to sleep. She deteriorated in the last couple of hours really rapidly and had a green discharge from mouth and nose. Her system just closed down at the end. So very very sad but I knew there was no coming back from that...

    Advice - colic yesterday not eating today

    We have just wiped her nose which has a greenish discharge and she has dribbled a bit of clear liquid - which fills me with horror as we had one about 20yrs ago with grass sickness and that was something I will never forget. It couldnt be that could it??? That is always May time though.

    Advice - colic yesterday not eating today

    I have rung the vet and he is coming out again. I really dont understand that everything is showing up normal. It is a lovely sunny day here and as she was going nowhere I left the stable door open so she can see what is happening on the yard, but she came out and followed the girl who was...

Second pony coliced last night - this one totally different, down, sweating, rolling, thrashing. (She is 17yr old Highland mare). Vet got here quick and...

    Anyone know of good unaccompanied children's riding holidays?

    suffolkangel www.willowfarmholidays.co.uk is near Skegness and is still going - probably almost 20yrs now. Some of the original ponies are still there - retired now, which is sweet. They only take a few kids each week though as a family group and they get booked up really quick. PGL is ok but...

    Experiences of treating sarcoids on the eye area

    Can you possibly give me the contact details of the vet who treated your horse? Mine is getting a lot worse and he is rubbing it a lot too. My vet has taken photos to send to Liverpool but nothing has come back yet. I am really desperate now.

    Thanks so much for a quick reply. I have sobbed all morning, but your horse looks lovely, so there may be a hope. I have tried to upload photos but if it doesnt work, try this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/sue4571 http://www.flickr.com/photos/sue4571

    Experiences of treating sarcoids on the eye area

    I have a pony with a sarcoid on his eyelid. He had a dark mark on it for ages which we thought nothing of, but the last week or so a lump has appeared, and he is now rubbing it and the whole thing is a mess. The vet came today and was so depressing, talking about removing eyelids and eyes and...
