Good vibes appreciated for poorly pony

[scats]

Vet this evening for Millie, who has come down with colic after escaping into the front of her field that’s been resting for a few months. Don’t think they were in there long, but enough for Millie to stuff her face and now regret her choices.
Does seem to be gas related so hoping some buscopan and bute will help. She’s had a rectal aswell, just to check everything is where it should be, and been tubed.

I’ve come home to put my ankle up for an hour, because I’ve been on it all day and also been towed around the stable by a very angry mare (she hates needles!), then heading back to check her.
Typically, my Reolink isn’t up at the moment coz I am swapping to a different one and that’s on charge. Just when you need it ?

Honestly, I’ve just about had enough of life right now!

Everything crossed for a quick recovery xxx

Sending you billions of healing vibes. X

I'm going to hope for gas emissions quickly so you get a peaceful night - well as peaceful as post colic vet call outs ever are. Fingers crossed she recovers quickly

More get well soon vibes here. It’s such a worry, but hopefully just a case of time and painkillers.

Sending healing vibes for Millie, I hope she is better soon.

The vet did also mention that she could feel an enlarged ovary, but didn’t seem too concerned when I said that Millie hadn’t had any recent change of behaviour and that she’s always been a bit of a grump in the stable. Now I’m wondering whether I need to get this investigated?

 

[misst]

Scats I hope she picks up ok for you. There's always something with horses! Sending some vibes for both of you x

Fingers cross for pony I hope yours is a happy ending unlike mine my boy of a life time lost him August 2022 to colic my heart aches for him, my third to colic.

Prayers to the God of Buscopan ? hope it sorts Millie as miraculously as it did Sadie when she did the same thing in Sept!

You can start worrying about the ovary tomorrow!

 

[Bionic Boy]

Hope she is on the mend soon.

 

[ester]

Hope it settles quickly for her (and you!)

Hope all OK, vets can work wonders. My retired gelding had compaction colic (no gut sounds, had been in more than normal due to the wet weather few weeks ago) tubed etc and full recovery, went into horspital as happened on a sat night.

Few sleepless weeks once home, checking on him every few hrs through night on camera ...

Any update ?

 

[scats]

8pm check and she’s happy looking over the door, one normal poo and no bed trashing or signs of lying down. Obviously still under influence of drugs!
Friends are doing the next check for me at 9.30pm, bless them.

Thank you, glad your gelding was ok. It’s awful isn’t it? Unfortunately, I am inwardly terrified of colic as I lost one to it back in 2011. As soon as they show any signs of it, even mildly, I act and get the vet instantly.

 

[McFluff]

Healing vibes - it’s so worrying so please look after yourself too.

 

[meesha]

How is Millie?

 

[Pearlsasinger]

That sounds like good progress. Fingers crossed that she continues to improve.

 

[meesha]

Sorry just seen post, great news !! Hopefully just piggy horse with gassy colic

 

[Peglo]

Glad your 8 o clock check was good. Hope the buscopan sorts her out quickly and you get a bit of a rest.

Hope Millie makes a quick recovery.
