If you are going to change yards, when you bring him away from the horsepital is the time to do it. I would like someone on site myself for the forst few weeks at least.

I contacted a yard but didn't hear back maybe they thought it was too much hassle. He is easy to maange and copes with being moved around OK but I think muy options are limited. FL is about 500 a month and mostly round here that's it. I really don't trust anyone to do him so think will have to do it myself...

Thank you everyone! Looks like we can bring him home on Saturday!

Now to the post op care and where he goes

I am still a bit worried (as now super paranoid obv!) about what's best - whether a short term solution where someone on site can look after him when I can't be here.


Any stories /experiences of managing recovery from colic surgery??

Last time (12 years ago) he was on full livery.

Current yard no one around in day. I really want him to follow the RVC pattern of having regular walks to grass and checks every day - otherwise I'll have to do it which 4 times a day inc late checks is tough as work is quite full on though they have been v undertsanding over this (although there is the camera idea). Current yard is on a hill, YO horses only noone on site.

There is a another yard with someone on site that has space that could do a bespoke package for me , obv he won't know the others (although he's been at RVC for two weeks now)..it's pellets though rather than shavings (am i being too fussy here about wanting a big thick bed of shavings!)

Wondering whether to do a short -term move or just try and get by for 6-8 weeks. Other concerns are no lights wher i am now, and what if tap freezes? There would be no one up after 5/6.
