She's critically ill and I'm scared stiff!!

Can't take your fear away, but bless you, thinking of you and hoping for a positive outcome. Please keep us posted, as and when you feel able to.
 
So sorry to read this, you must feel terrible and my heart goes out to you and your lovely mare. Here's hoping that she has a comfortable night and things begin to look up in the morning.
 
only read the first page and last to see if there was an update. praying she pulls through for you. stay strong. sending you and her massive hugs and positive vibes. keep us updated. xxx
 
I'm back from the stables. She's still with us but when I got there she was very distressed and I was about to call it a day. Hubby said to give her the sedative the vet left for me to administer if I felt she needed it. It's into the muscle and takes about 45 mins to take full effect. 5 mins after that she went down for the first time in 4 days....she's just exhausted.

Called the vet and by the time he arrived, she was settled, drinking and picking at her hay. I know her being down isn't always a good sign, but for now at least she's peaceful. I'll go back down about 10pm. Heart beat was 82 and her temperature was normal. She wasn't shaking or sweating.

I only hope when she gets up...if she gets up....she's turned a corner. All your support is keeping me going.

I know it has a long name this thing she's got but I can't remember....it's some word then the word hydrocephalus. I'll try and look up some info on it. X
 
So sorry to hear your news - keeping fingers crossed for you that she improves overnight and makes a full recovery. She is a truly gorgeous girly. <<<hugs>>>
 
Hopefully the sedative will make her more comfortable for a while. I am sure you must feel better seeing her less stressed. She must be exhausted if she hasn't been down to rest in four days, hopefully she will turn a corner. Keeping all our fingers, paws and hooves crossed for you.

hoping for good results at 10pm Congenital internal hydrocephalus??
 
Oh no, really sorry to hear this, she is such a gorgeous girl. I know exactly how you feel as I have lost 2 Clydesdales, 1 at 6 months and his half brother at 19 months. I really, really hope she pulls through.

It might be worth asking for info about neurological EHV/ EHV myeloencephalopathy in the health section? We're keeping everything crossed that she turns that corner.
 
Oh gosh this is awful, I am so sorry you and she are going through this. Sending you positive vibes and a hug to keep you warm in the stable. Really hoping she manages to come through.
