I can't stop crying with relief - I'm blubbing as I type this. She's going to be ok. Vet has been twice today and she's had loads of antibiotics and oxytocin.
Her temperature is now nearly normal and she hasn't foundered. Vet says we caught it just in time. She's still spewing out gunk and is off colour, but she's picking at some hay and taking interest in her foal which is a really good sign. She still has plenty of milk and foalie is full of the joys.
I have to jab her twice a day, and the vet is coming back on Friday afternoon (unless she deteriorates in the meantime) to reassess.
I did quiz my vet over the pulling of the afterbirth incident but he is 100% certain that it is not the cause - I still reserve judgement, but my priority is to get Dream well again.
The TSS scare is over, but he now tells me that there may be damage inside so this could have been her last foal
I will know more on Friday I hope.
Still, at least she is on the mend, and her foalie is thriving.
The BIGGEST thankyou to everyone on here for your support and well wishes, it means a lot, thankyou. xxx
