Sorry guys, you are going to be so fed up of me soon
I went to see her with my Dad at 3pm, and as I knew where she was stabled I shouted her name when I was walking to reception. Her head shot out of the stable and she screamed at me and started banging on the door
I was so pleased to see her to bright and looking 'normal' is the best way I can describe it. Her eyes were not dull and heavy, they were bright and alert.
I told them I was there and then walked over to the edge of the isolation area and just started speaking to her and telling her what a proud mummy I was of my dizzy orange girl. The vet came out and just said she was pleased with her progress through the day. She said she still had the diarrahoea, but that was to be expected as she has not eaten since Thursday morning. They want to get it sorted and discover why she had it in the first place, but while she is comfortable they are just concentrating on getting the fluids into her through the drip.
She was due some hay (she is having a few handfuls every two hours) so the resident vet who I have been speaking to every day, Mel, said she would give her this one. Grace watched her every move and as soon as she put the haylage over the door Grace's head went down and did not come up until she had eaten it! That was such a great thing for me to see... and she has not struggled swallowing since the surgery so it looks like that was just due to being in pain
Anyway, here are some photos...
This was as we got there and the most beautiful head shot out from the stable when I shouted her and then was being her usual nosy inquisitive self. She even looks bright eyed on this photo!
As the hay went in.... you can see her IV drip, poor baby!
Did you come to see me? Sorry, I am eating...
