Sorry guys

She's nice and quiet today. She's actually getting a bit rude! (I'll let her off- in this case I can't help but feel it's a good thing!!)

I've got some special super-easy-to-eat food to try and get her eating again, which she devoured (brilliant idea , mum!)

She had what was hopefully her last morphine and Metacam intravenous injections this morning, and I've been given Metacam oral suspension to give her as of tomorrow morning

Fingers crossed, I am starting to feel like we're well over the hump.

Compared to Saturday, she's a completely different horse, and is shades of her lovely self again :)

Now that is great news :thumbup: :biggrin3:
 
H_H, I suspect that you've turned the corner. If I'm honest, I would probably have given in, so a HUGE Well Done is due! :wink3:

It also occurs to me that the level of support which has been offered is also to be applauded. Even those who perhaps may not be desperately keen on each other, have rallied round, put their differences behind them, and given unstinting, generous and heartfelt support.

We may not be at 'Party Time' just yet, but I'm certain that we're heading that way! I hope that you're now tucked up in bed and sleeping, it's overdue.

We'll await tomorrow's report.

thats sounding so much better :) hopefully she will continue to get better now and you get her back to her normal self. have a good night sleep
 
Oh this is so lovely to hear ! Well done you for all that you've done for your girl.

Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Onwards and upwards :-) x
 
I only found this thread this morning, and have just gotten home from work and am so pleased to read she is better! Sounds like you can begin to breath a little for the first time in days! Best wishes for the both of you as she continues to recover
 
Sorry for the late post!

She's not eating this morning, has barely touched her hay over night and she's scouring a bit...

BUT she has drunk a bit, she finished two small dinners of her old feed and a huge one of the new feed yesterday so I'm not too worried at this stage.

I gave her the oral dose Metacam to make sure she'd get it, so I'm not overly surprised she didn't touch her brekkie!!! I've left it in her stable, hopefully it'll be gone by the next time I see her.

I'll check her again after work tonight and see whether I need the vet and she still needs her morphine or not

You're all amazing, thank you so much! :)

Sounds like a pretty positive update! There are bound to be slight ups and downs, she (and you!) has been though such a lot. If she is scouring, have you got some charcoal (Happy Tummy or similar) you can add to her feeds? It is great stuff. Keep going, you are doing such a great job. xx
