Please keep your fingers crossed - colic surgery

[Splishsplash]

He's been stable throughout today. He STILL hasn't pooed and I am getting extremely anxious now as we got to 'day 4' of introducing food last time before he colicked again and tomorrow will be the new 'day 4'. If we get through tonight OK, I am going to be a huge bag of paranoid nerves tomorrow!!

 

[MrsMozart]

Oh hunny. I really feel for you.

Wishing and hoping he gets through this.

Come on George!

 

[Munchkin]

Come on George, give your mum a lovely, pooey stable

 

[Charem]

Still thinking of you two. Fingers crossed for poop in the morning. x

 

[Bikerchickone]

Praying for poop here too. Everything crossed for you both xx

 

[Willeeckers]

Thinking of you today xx

Come on George you can do this!

 

[reddie]

Gosh what a roller coaster! Fingers crossed that he poos and he gets through it.

 

[meesha]

Come on George just one poo for mummy !!!!

 

[Snowy Celandine]

Poo George, poo please! So many people are willing you on x

 

[brighteyes]

I hope for poo today also. Really, really hope x

 

[risky business]

Really hoping there's some movement today, my horse has been through colic surgery (different surgery from your lad)! I really hope he makes a full recovery.

 

[Keenjean]

Hoping for some little nuggets of good news for you today!

 

[MrsMozart]

Hoping it was a good night!

 

[murphysmummy]

I'm desperate to know if he poo'd?!! Xxx

 

[pigpony]

Just letting you know I'm still thinking of you both ....I check in twice a day to this thread! I've been through colic surgery with my boy and I know how scary it is. You are forever obsessed with poo! Come on George POOOOO!!xx

 

[Carefreegirl]

Any poo news ?

 

[HaffiesRock]

Just checking in. Ive never wanted a stranger to tell me about their horses bowel movements as much as I want you too tell me George has pooed SplishSplash!

Everything crossed for good news xxx

 

[cloverleaf1985]

Still checking in, i hope he is doing ok and has done that elusive poo!
Here's some more ((((vibes)))) xx

 

[mulledwhine]

Getting worried x

 

[Natch]

Never has a poo been so widely willed onto the stable floor.

 

[nikicb]

I haven't posted before, but I too have been checking on this thread several times a day. I also had a horse successfully, but not without complications, go through major colic surgery so I know how hard it can be. Sending vibes to you all and praying for poo. xxxxx

 

[Nicnac]

How're things with George Splishsplash?

 

[MrsMozart]

Last check for the day on this thread as well.

Hoping George's system is coping and yours too SS!

 

[Puddock]

Just checking the thread again - I hope he's managed to get it through his system. Thinking of you both.

 

[Splishsplash]

He's been OK throughout today, although I'm still really anxious as he's still a long way from being out of the woods. He did one poo late last night and one this morning before I got to the vets (one of the lovely vets described it as beautiful...I never thought I'd hear someone use that word to describe a poo!!). BUT he didn't do one whilst I was there,and I was there for about 9 hours,so the poo is still being illusive as far as I'm concerned. Obviously 2 poos in a 24 hour period isn't normal horse poo behaviour, so he needs to be going more frequently. We've started to really increase the food portions he's getting today (this is where we hit problems last time and he colicked again) so I'm quite scared by this. If he colics and starts refluxing again, I think the vets will say we have to call it a day.

 

[Keenjean]

Nice job George. Excellent to hear he's done not just one poo but two!! Hopefully he keeps this up

 

[brighteyes]

Well, I hope it's the first step to him getting out of there and back home. Yet more positive thoughts and wishes on their way x

 

[starryeyed]

I've only just seen this thread but I have everything crossed for you and am sending all the positive vibes I have your way, you're both in my thoughts xx

 

[haras]

Thats really positive news!!!!!!!!!!

I really hope he's fine with the increased food intake.

I'm pretty sure that when my mare first poo ed again after her surgery it was pretty infrequent, as she wasn't eating much at all. But, the fact that he has produced poo means that his guts are working as they should and are pushing the poo through, which is fantastic!!!

So pleased for you and George

 

[Charem]

Good job George, now give those poor stable lads/lasses a really pooey stable to muck out please.

Fingers crossed he continues to improve, he really is a fighter.
