Colic surgery - UPDATE not looking good :(

[Loubiepoo]

After the surgery on sunday my boy seemed to pick up was eating and manuring ok, but over the last two days things have really deteriorated. His wound has got infected causing peritonitis (sp?) and there has been some bleeding in his abdomen which means he is producing red bloody wee. He is looking very weak and colicky again and the vet is telling me he's critical and to take every 4 hours as the come. He's still eating a small amount and manuring but they are tubing him with fluids to stop him getting dehydrated. If the infection clears up they're not sure how much damage will have occurred to his gut now. I'm just taking each 12hours as they come and sitting tight, if he doesn't pick up in the next 24 hours then they've said there's nothing more they can do for him

I feel I've come a full circle from when I first took him in.

I hope he improves, we had a livery mare who got peritonitis and she was hospitalised at Bristol for three weeks, but recovered and came home.
He sounds a fighter, so fingers crossed for him..

Take care

Please let us know how he is and if there is any help you need. Hx
