Good vibes please

[Trouper]

Only just read this thread. You must be as exhausted as she has been. Do hope things have settled and it was just temporary effects of the autumn flush of grass.

Great news ?

 

[Bradsmum]

Everything crossed here. They are such a worry when you know something is not right but don't know what - if only they could talk.

Glad that it’s looking more positive this morning. Everything crossed that she continues to recover uneventfull.

 

[Nari]

Phew!

 

[scats]

Grazing happily at last check.

Sounding very positive ??

sounding more hopeful that you are through the worst.

I’m hoping we’ve got through it. She seemed pretty much normal this evening and the bloods came back clear, so that’s good.
If we have another good night and normal poos, I’ll feel a lot better.

Huge huge huge huge hugs xxxxxx

 

[Barton Bounty]

Long may it continue x

 

[ester]

I was very relieved to see your post this morning, and the subsequent improvement, hope she stays good overnight too. ?

 

[twiggy2]

Not sure how I missed this thread but really pleased to hear all appears back to normal

 

[ponynutz]

Hugs! x

IME colic watch is THE most exhausting thing in the world. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

 

[eahotson]

Best wishes to you both.

Normal poos overnight and she was banging her door for breakfast like the baggage she normally is, so that’s a very good sign. Gone out again for the day with Polly and I’m hoping normal service has fully resumed.
Thank you so much everyone for their best wishes. I feel like I need a week to recover from this!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

So pleased to hear your update!

 

[Bradsmum]

And breathe ...... So glad things are looking good

Little update- Millie seems back to normal in herself, but is still suffering from very loose droppings, cow pat style.
It’s not all the time, it tends to be the ones I pick up in the field rather than what she does overnight in the stable.
She’s been on the same field all summer, nothing has changed feed or hay wise. I’m stumped.

Leaves or acorns?

Grass is a bit odd at the moment. My PSSM mare is usually ok by now but even on restricted she's as tight as I've known her in her hindquarters.

Can you feed more hay if she's ok on that?

Leaves or acorns?

Definitely not acorns as no oak trees near the field. I’ve been walking round with my plant identifier app tonight trying to work out what everything is to see if there could be anything causing it.

She’s in at night with hay, but I could chuck some out in the field I suppose, although I do try to monitor how much she eats because she’s a ridiculous good doer. They are both hungry coming in at the moment. The field still has plenty on it but they obviously don’t think so ?

Wonder if it’s worth ordering one of those Protexin gut bind syringes?

 

[EngageDressage]

Have you worm checked her recently? Had a horse laying down a lot like this and funny poos in autumn, turned out to be worm burden. You’ve obviously had her a while so probably not, but worth a check just in case

 

[misst]

Just catching up on this. So glad she has settled pretty much. Protexin helped one of ours when she was loose for no obvious reason.

I've never tried gut bind but quick fix is a miracle.

 

[July dreamer]

Might be worth doing a sand test as well, if you haven't already.

She’s due to be wormed in next couple of weeks, but not overdue. Something to think about though, thank you.
