CAN YOU ALL SEND GOOD VIBES PLEASE?

so sorry to hear, its horrible losing one foal but to have another one sick with the same symptoms is heartbreaking.

Good vibes being sent your way
 
God not again I'm so sorry you are all having such rotten bad luck. No advice apart from chin up which I'm sure it is you are one of the nicest people I've met.
Huge hugs and vibes from me and hope she has a quiet night and things are looking more positive in the morning

Oh crap. Have everything crossed for you. It sounds like it must be some sort of contaminate carried by the flood water. I really hope you get to the bottom of it and that the foal recovers. Vibes coming your way!!!

Have everything crossed that he's still with you in the morning, and that the vet can find some explanation for, and treat, his illness.

So sorry to hear this news, sending my best positive healing vibes your way for the foal Henryhorn.
 
I am so sorry to hear this, let's hope the Vet can find a cause, and a treatment.
All the very best vibes coming your way.
 
Im really sorry to hear this what a nightmare. Sending loads of positive vibes your way and do hope music man makes a quick recovery. He has to!!
 
as you know its most likely the water source but case of finding out why now......with the warm weather and rain god knows the types of bugs that are breeding but you may never find out.

Big hugs and lots of good vibes to your foal in the hope that it makes a speedy recovery as you have caught it early....

Terrible to have to go through what you are but you are obviously dedicated to your horses, good luck xxx
 
So sorry to read that you have another poorly foal. Hope that you can discover the root of the problem quickly and that the little chap pulls through. Will be thinking of you tonight. Old plaster can be a source of lead poisoning due to the lead in old paint but I presume that this would show up on a blood test. Could anything have leached through from the neighbouring farm in the wet weather, is there any more of a particular plant than usual in the fields due to the wet weather this year.
 
never thought of that disease, will google it now and ask vet.. Still wondering re the building rubble, we have had such heavy rain it may now be passing through that stuff on next door's field and into the stream. Too dark to do anything now but will tomorrow, as we always assumed it was too distant to be a threat. Now I'm wondering what's under the platform they built to store their haylage on, they built this enormous platform two years ago for them and it must be hardcore of somesort underneath.
Horses will be in the hay field from now until we find the cause.
 
I've googled everything from ivy to yew, but there isn't really anything in there apart from some bracken round the edges. Symptoms don't fit bracken poisoning. Vet is sure it's toxidity causing it but what?
No odd plants, we have removed five ragwort plants off 107 acres, so not that either.
 
I had a scare with bracken last week, although it is thought to be poisonous, apparently this is if it is more than 25% of their diet? - BUT possibly it could affect a foal moreso than a fully grown horse?

Does any of the haylage fall down into the water as haylage can breed nasties?
 
In the pile of building rubbish, there couldn't be any form of lead could there, which has got into the water?

Lead posioning could cause some serious side effects
