Please keep your fingers crossed - colic surgery

So glad to read that he's doing okay.

Catembi had a long illness, & I know how emotionally exhausting it is.

I **never** wanted to see the inside of another vet hosp as long as I lived.

(((hugs)))

I've been following this and keep checking for updates - so glad he's pooed and fingers crossed for piles of poo to come! :)
 
He's been OK again today. He poo-ed over night but hasn't poo-ed again during the course of the day which is a bit worrying. His heart rate and everything else has stayed stable today and he's up to almost full rations of a 'low residue diet' (basically almost no hay/haylege as we think this may have been the cause of his colic last Thursday...apparently some horses can't cope with it after colic surgery). The vets have started to talk about him coming home in a few days IF (and it's still a big if as things could still go wrong) he stays stable and carries on eating, drinking, pooping etc. I on the other hand have a stinking cold and have spent most of the day on the sofa feeling sorry for myself...i feel a bit guilty as I only managed to see G for about an hour today when normally i've been there most of the day.
 
So pleased to here things are looking positive, everything still crossed for you and him. Don't feel guilty about not seeing him much today, you need to feel better for if (when) he comes home :)
 
Don't feel guilty, you are not good to him when you are poorly yourself xxxx


He is in the best hands, he knows you love him, god, your dedication has been beyond words x

Rest , get some sleep, and go and see him when you wake up x

Still got everything x for poo news :)
 
Not surprised you're not well after all you've been through. Get some rest and hope you feel better soon.

Good news on George - more poos please :D
 
Very glad to hear the good news. Still keeping everything crossed for you both.

Get some sleep, George is in the best place for him at the moment. I hope that you both feel much better soon. x
 
Since horses simply do not cope with any abdominal pain, unless he is on painkillers, he must be comfortable. Which is wonderful. It's going to be slow progress but up to him now. I'd be getting myself strong now for all that mucking out ahead, if I were you!
 
all sounding very positive for George - look after yourself and use the couple of days to get better for when he comes home. Fingers crossed all goes smoothly and he is home soon. x
 
I have just found this thread - fingers crossed firmly for George.
I have been int he same position when my lad went through colic surgery and know what an emotional wreck it makes you. But keep your chin up, my lad is 6 months down the line and doing fab, so there is hope :)
