I hate waiting to hear from the vet. Can they go back down hill and the reflux get worse again? I suppose it’s possible

So this morning the gastric reflux continued to slow down so they removed the tube although he is still on fluids. He had a few blades of grass by hand which they said he wolfed down. Still in the critical 48 hours time so still anxious and anything could happen so...

My head is full of medical terminology like epipolic forament entrapment (small intestine gets stuck and blood supply cut off) post-operative illeus (no gut motility) and peritonal fluid test (test for whether surgery is needed). I told my boss if we need any stand in lecturers for the vet school (I work at Keele University, we have just launched a degree in Veterinary Medicine with Harper Adams) on equine colic I'm sure I can stand in and provide real life case studies (!)

Must be so overwhelming. Please make sure you have a good support network for yourself too. Fingers crossed for you!

If he does come through it i'm not sure how to proceed going forward livery wise - but will not think about that til I know he is going to come through or not.

 

[Lois Lame]

Good idea. One worry at a time is more than enough.

Great that he wolfed down those blades of grass.

 

[CinnamonChristmasCookie]

I’m crossing everything for you, I know that horrible waiting for the updates feeling. Let us know how he‘s getting on.
