hopefully, he will have a smooth recovery. He has fought so hard to get through, so really hope he continues to do so.

Another vet update. The impaction he went in for would have cleared medically - no need for surgery but he had a epiploic foramen entrapment- same as 12 years ago ? which when they found it was not entrapped anymore but part of the small intestine had to be removed as it had gone black.

 

[Baywonder]

Sending you hugs and positive vibes - here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

 

[cheekywelshie]

I just worry about the post operative gastro reflux - high risk of this.

 

[AmyMay]

Just catching up with this.

Thinking of you, and wishing you’re boy a safe recovery xx

Wishing him a safe recovery.

 

[ozpoz]

Really wishing him a good recovery.
I’m so sorry for all you are going through right now, it is exhausting and all consuming. He sounds to be in expert hands and he will be very well looked after post op.

 

[Flowerofthefen]

Hoping everything is still ok. Thinking of you xx

 

[Trouper]

Just read this from the beginning. How desperately worried you must be but he sounds a fighter so sending positive and encouraging vibes to you both this morning.

 

[tristar]

thoughts are with you x

 

[cblover]

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, take care.

He’s gone a bit worse. Post op gastric reflux - the gut isn’t moving. They Give it 48 hours. Then it’s either another op or.....I’m going to see him in case it’s the last time. I can’t function properly ?

 

[Baywonder]

I'm sorry to read your update @cheekywelshie Sending you positive vibes and virtual hugs. X

 

[cheekywelshie]

I don’t know if he could go through another op again. Oh god I feel powerless.

 

[Dyllymoo]

I'm so sorry

 

[Baywonder]

It truly is awful. See how he is when you get there, and have a good talk with the vet too. If anything springs to mind that you want to ask, write it down so that you don't forget.

Good luck. X

I’m so sorry you are both going through this xx

 

[cheekywelshie]

I don’t know what to do. I am just sitting here balling my eyes out I feel so useless!

You are amazing and have brought him to exactly where he needs to be. Fighting his corner like a champion horse owner. Chin up my dear - he sounds like a fighter. You are a fighter. You will get through this. Sending so much love and hugs xxx

 

[Spottyappy]

Sending vibes for his gut to move.
its a hell position, was there with my mare last year, and I know exactly how you are feeling.
He is also in the best place, so they will guide you, but you know your horse better than them, so am sure whatever you decide, his interests are right there, in your heart.

Oh welshie I'm sorry. I've been following this hoping for good news. You have done everything you can for him and he is so lucky to have you as an owner. Whatever happens please know you have done amazingly, and your boy sounds like a fighter.
I hope he picks up soon. Sending massive virtual hugs xx

 

[SEL]

Go and give him a bloody big hug then be kind to yourself. I’m not sure there is much more you can do now, you’ve given him the chance but going on the table a second time probably isn’t an option at his age and with his history x x x

 

[Laurac13]

I still have everything crossed for you and your boy sending love to you both xx

 

[awelshandawarmblood]

Everything crossed for you & your boy! Hopefully the next news will be positive.

Just been up to see him. This morning he was refluxing a lot but when I got there the reflux had gone down a bit. It's still critical but he was perkier and tried to head butt me!! I am trying not to get my hopes up but the vet was positive. If the reflux stops then they will remove the tubes. Very nervous. They said he was a challenging case because the peritonial fluid test they do to see if surgery is needed came back fine so that's why they didn't go for surgery straight off. They said he is quite stoical most horses would show more pain (!) I just worry as this is the second re-section to his small intestine.
