Bad day!!
Poor mare this morning was very off with her breakfast, and whilst turned out went down and looking at stomach etc, signs of colic, so call the vet.
Vet comes, and gives all usual meds, and drenches etc, and discovers she has a high temperature and so sends for blood tests.
Theyve just come back, and ALL the cells, are ridiculously low. She is anemic and her red and white blood cells are 3.
He cannot say yet whether this is caused by a viral infection, which caused the colic, or whether she has bloods like this normally, which will mean more tests next week, as long as she doesnt get worse over the weekend!!
He was surprised we have been able to ride, but until yesterday she had bags of energy and very lively! So fingers crossed she doesnt have another underlying problem!!
Sorry for the winge, but feeling a bit shaken up and wanted someone to talk to!!!
