hho good vibes please work for my boy :'(

Thanks for asking how he is, been so busy with work haven't had time to update!

He's still the same today. We are taking him some haylage as he's not keen on theirs. He was given fluids last night but no improvement.
They mentioned they are going to reduce his meds but I can't see how that's going to improve his mood!
Hopefully he's had a better day. :( poor boy. He copes well with box rest but I think the fact he's got bars on the door he probably hasn't seen another horse since Saturday and the lights are on 24/7 he's just pee'd off with it all.
 
Hoping that he's feeling bit better tonight. She wasn't as ill as Zeus but when my mare stopped eating and drinking during her colic last week, we got her eating again by giving her a tiny amount of very well soaked grassnuts (soup).
 
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed, vibes and cyber hugs winging their way over to you and Zeus. Lots of love and continued strength to you, your sister and Zeus. xxx
 
Been following this thread and hoping for the best for you. What a shame he's not great right now.
Ive not read it all so this may be the stupidest comment but could you take him home or is he too vet dependant?
Totally different I know but I was ill and hospitalized a few years back and after a week I signed myself out as I just couldn't get better there anymore- I was able to sleep and rest in my own place and felt better in no time, could it be the same for horses?
Like I say probably not a realistic suggestion but i'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed- What a lucky horse he is to have an owner like you xxxx

He's still in intensive care on quite a lot of medication. They are slowly taking him off and there has been talk of him possibly coming home this weekend.

Thanks everyone for thinking of us, he's very much the same all though he seemed pleased about the haylage :)

I asked about him being allowed out for a walk but she said he's not been out, due to the fact the weather hasn't been great and the grass is covered with snow.

He's "as expected" so I guess that's good. The vet that was there last night had been dealing with the emergency that had just arrived so she didn't have up todate info about him.
I guess we'll see what today brings
 
All sounds positive and I am sure once home and back in his own surrondings with his own bucket/water he will pick up.

Fingers crossed for him coming home this weekend.

Hugs to Zeus
 
He's getting a bit of pasture mix and chaff (his usual feed) now which he's very happy about so when he's up to full feed size they will be satisfied.

I saw a poo yesterday! They are like baby pony poos! Lol tiny poo
 
So pleased to see your post this morning, we were wondering how he was. I don't suppose you can really hope for better than 'as expected', the vets have done it all before.
<<<<<<Vibes>>>>>> for his continued recovery.
