Please keep your fingers crossed - colic surgery

That's really good news! My horse had spasmodic colic a couple of weeks ago and his poos were quite erratic for the next couple of days. At one point he had only done 1 between about 6am and 5pm but righted himself thereafter.

Hopefully George has loads more poos just waiting to come out!
 
He's been OK again today. I did think he was starting to colic again this evening as his heart rate went up and he started to paw, but he then did quite a large dropping and the pawing stopped after that and his heart rate came down. He's still not out of the woods but each day when he's ok is a step in the right direction. There have been a couple of other colic surgeries in whilst we've been camping out at the hospital and I must say I've been surprised and moved at the solidarity that you can build up with strangers. It's been a really horrible 2 and a half weeks but I've been amazed at how kind people have been to me and George, both on here and in real life.

In every way, a lovely post.

I had my eyes closed and my fingers crossed when I saw you had posted again and the page was loading. It has become part of my (and I suspect others here) daily routine to check in on George, i'm so pleased he's continuing to improve.

I can't imagine what you have been through these past few weeks, thank you for keeping us all informed and do take care of yourself too. x

Yey - clever George. Can understand it's a bit sore for him to poo after all he's been through.

Can't imagine the stress you've been/are going through - give George a hug :D
 
Well done George another step in the right direction. Keep up the good work, I'm willing you on with everything I've got.

Look after yourself too Splishsplash, we can't have you getting poorly.
