Sorry for the delay in update, been catching up on yard jobs left over from yesterday's colic/royal funeral.

She seems fine this morning, albeit still a bit grumpy to touch. I monitored her through the night via the ipad which was bedside. She spent a lot of time in her shelter where I could see her. She's quite clean so can't have been rolling like yesterday.

7 proper healthy poos overnight, all hay eaten and she's grazed into the strip grazing. Back in for an hour or two for her breakfast and a haynet.

She's lost weight and is still rather tucked up, but no colic signs. The grumpiness may well be partly from the dope wearing off, she's done that before.

She's got a routine chiro vet check on Thursday, which ironically was postponed from yesterday because of the funeral.

Her 21 yo mother spent yesterday running up and down the fence line shrieking, not in worry about her daughter, but in indignation about daughter getting more hay and grass than her. Mother is now resting a hind leg awkwardly (but walking sound) but the chiro vet sees her too on Thursday, so she can be checked out.

Horses.
Great news, so glad she's ok TP ?

I'm pleased to report that Molly is fully back on form. I'm aged, skint and knackered, mind...

Today she rather fortunately happened to have her routine 4 monthly chiro vet check, the appointment that had been postponed from Monday (the day she colicked) because of the royal funeral.

Chiro vet and me were fully expecting Molly to be tight and sore behind after the colic, but quite bizarrely she was very amenable to treat and the best she's been in her SI area (she had it medicated two years ago). She was rather sore in her neck and shoulders, though, which could be from all the rolling and getting up/lying down that she did on Monday.

The individual management of giving her extra hay and grass over the older two PPID ladies seems to be suiting her and her hind gut issues.

Senior mare is also ok after her daft dashing about shrieking on Monday.
