Thank you. Looking at my post, the word hope and hopeful appears a lot!
I was sobered that I heard the news that another yard I know, nearby, has had 3 horses hospitalised in the past few weeks, with colic. One hasn't made it. It is a very well run yard, the management will have been faultless. Colic seems so random.
My own vet says that, between my mid-day visit and my 4pm visit, they had 3 more colics come in.
Bedside nursing helps a lot, it keeps a patient's spirits up and is an important part of getting well.Aw, thank you, I have felt particularly useless that past 2 days. He is so lovely and I have seemed powerless to help him much. He did really enjoy his massages. By hand but also with the Equlibrium pad and the big thumper one. I actually thing the thumper one did help, it is super-powerful and a real bone shaker. The sort that goes right through your body.
I know the vet is doing the main work, but I like to think that every little halps!
The fluff kept getting in the way!Aww bless him, he looks very sweet with his mane in plaits. We are all rooting for you, Rigsby <3
