Please keep your fingers crossed - colic surgery

Hopefully this will work! Here he is having a quick graze in hand in the sun. I don't think he's looking too bad at all considering all of the horrid things that have happened to him in the last week and a half and that he wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything for a full week.

He looks amazing all things considered.
 
So glad to hear another positive update, and lovely to see pictures of him too :) thank you for the updates and pictures when you must be exhausted.

Just don't feel the need to show us a picture of the poo when he does it, as I'm sure we've all got a fair idea what it looks like.

Everything crossed for the poo :) x
 
What a fighter he is, great to hear the updates- he looks so good considering!! Fingers crossed he continues to improve, go on George!!!! Xxx
 
Thank you so much for the update and photos. I've been worrying about him all day. He's looks fantastic considering the past week. Keep on fighting George! X
 
Oh what a fab picture and what wonderful news. He is such a fighter and you are such a dedicated owner (and you must be soooo exhausted). All digits still firmly crossed for his continued recovery :).

He's suffered a major, major relapse this evening. He started to colic and has got the reflux tube back in and is back on fluids and painkillers. He has 24 hours to stop refluxing or the vet has recommended we PTS. It seems that his guts, which had been working, have stopped again. I'm totally stunned. He had been doing so, so well and we'd even started to think towards bringing him home.

Thanks for posting update Splishsplash. What a relief to see him out of his stable and wanting something to eat. Great news :D

I was just catching up, with a big smile on my face. This is too cruel. :(
 
I'm so sorry to read your last update. Devastating situation. Sending huge hugs for both of you and tremendous amounts of positive vibes to George to get better.

Thinking of you both xx
 
Fingers still firmly crossed and thinking of you and George a lot. Have tears in my eyes reading that last comment from you do go only knows how you are feeling. Your a tower of strength for you little horse and I wish you all the luck. Sending George vibes to stop refluxing and you hugs for being such a dedicated and devoted owner xxxx
 
Im so sorry to read that hes gone downhill :(
The update has brought tears to my eyes as my horse lost his battle with colic 3 weeks ago today :(
Fingers crossed for you xx
 
So sorry to hear about the situation, how awful :( I remember working with the colic cases on my vet work experience and hoping that I'd never have to go through that myself with my horses. Whatever happens now will be for the best, fingers crossed that it is speedy and painless either way x
