Brain Haemorhage

[guisbrogal]

Has anyone any experience of them in ponies?

Not in ponies nor personally but a friends horse dropped dead in the field at the age of 6

. An autopsy was carried out for insurance purposes and that was the 'cause of death'. Why, whats happened?

Im hoping you are only being curious

. Mairi.

Unfortuantely not. My sisters little Shetland is believed to have had one. The vets are fighting to save her now but it doesn't look too good

 

[Fairynuff]

Oh Lord! Positive vibes coming over for all of you! Im rooting for your sisters shettie-theyre made of strong stuff! Let us know how she gets on. Fingers crossed, Mairi.

How horrid

Big hug to you all.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but my beloved connie was put to sleep after suffering a brain haemorhage, he had been running about in the field and then this struck him the following day, I truly hope your story has a positive outcome and I send all my luck and wishes for the little shetland.

Thanks everyone. I have text my sister tonight but no answer so I am a bit worried that she has had to have her pts. It is definitely not looking good but you never know.

 

[Fairynuff]

Any news ? Fingers still crossed . M.x

My fingers are crossed for you too, my aunties horse got a nosebleed that wouldn't stop, the vet sent him to Leahurst but he didn't make it, he too had a brain haemorhage.

Any news yet?

Oh lord. Poor wee mite. I hope the little mite pulls through OK!

In answer to your question yes. When I was a student a horse ridden by a friend in a lesson had a fit and threw itself on the floor (friend flew almost clear, was dragged clear by quick thinking instructor!) Horse actually died within about 5 mins though - there was no saving it unfortunately.

She is still the same apparently with no change. My sister is just trying to find out what sort of quality of life she will have in order to make any decision about her future.

But she is hanging on so far

No sorry I haven't; only brain tumours and the outcome was not positive.

Fingers crossed that the pony can pull through.
