Thanks everyone.

He has improved quite a bit over the last 24 hours . We've been told he has an absolute marathon ahead of him and there are so many hurdles which could cause total disaster at any point...starting to reflux again, not coping with re-introduction of food and drink, liver damage from not having eaten for so long, infection, laminitis, the list goes on.... For now, though, I am focussing on the fact that he has had the reflux tube of doom out since midnight and has coped so far (previously they had been getting up to 14 litres of stomach fluid out of him every 2 hours).

He had a little drink last night, the first in a week, and did a poo on the vet (we can't read too much into the poo-ing as it's just old stuff from his large intestine when his problem was higher up the digestive tract in the small intestine). The first major hurdles he needs to get over are not refluxing again and coping with the re-introduction of food and drink. He is being taken out to hopefully have a very quick graze in hand this morning. He hasn't eaten in over a week now and has lost a staggering amount of weight in that time so this is a major test. Please everyone keep crossing your fingers that he wants to eat and that his stomach and guts can cope with him starting to eat and drink.

Who knows what ups and downs we have ahead of us, but for now the emotional rollercoaster goes on. What a horse I have!
