Today my horse told me...

[guido16]

She has colic.

Was pottering about out in the yard and she kept nudging me.
She looked fine but wouldn't leave me alone. So having known her 16 years I knew something was up.
Needless to say, she now is in the full throws of colic. Had painkiller and buscopan, now it's a waiting game. Have to wait till half 6 for any improvement. If none, more buscopan or if worse, rainbow bridge.

Everyone cross everything please.

 

[Holly Hocks]

Sorry to hear this - fingers crossed for you - hopefully the buscopan will take effect soon.

 

[Bertolie]

Aw poor girl. I have everything crossed for her. X

 

[missroses nanna]

Everything crossed x

[Spanish Eyes]

Wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

My mare too had a bout of colic a few weeks ago and made a full recovery - seems to be so much of it about at the moment.

 

[guido16]

Just nipped out, she is eating haylage. Good signs. Opened stable (they usually get to go in and out as they please) and the big lad came to door and started eating with her.

Fingers crossed this improvement keeps up.

 

[micki]

Hope she continues to improve.

 

[DropbearUK]

Here's hoping for a speed recovery - Sending good vibes your way.........

 

[Mongoose11]

Guido, perhaps get her out and moving? My girl has had four bouts, two very serious, the only thing that worked was pain relief and getting her moving.... Worked every time! Massive vibes for you and Pone.

 

[TheoryX1]

Lots of hugs and healing vibes from myself, Mini TX and our ponies. Colic is horrible and its good you know her so well.

 

[thehorsephotographer]

What a clever girl to tell you. I hope she makes a full recovery.

 

[Ibblebibble]

smart girl, updates sounds good , fingers crossed she's on the mend now

 

[tallyho!]

Good signs guido... I'm wafting "fart" and "poo" vibes in the general direction of your mare. Fingers crossed!

 

[guido16]

Update, been back out, not so bright now, nipping haylage and not passed anything yet.

Billie, think I will get vet back out for more buscopan then put the head lamp on and head out with her for a walk. Only thing is, it's sleeting sideways here!!!!! Oh well, will put a rug with hood on her and winter woollies on and head down the road.

As long as there is improvement it's ok, although been here before and then it all went terribbly wrong.

Thanks for all the good vibes, she is my forever horse, taught me everything, hunting, XC, jumping, endurance, backing, has never stepped out of line, ever. 16 years on and I will do whatever I have to for her.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Fingers, toes, hooves and paws all crossed here, for a speedy recovery.

 

[Tash88]

Everything crossed for your mare Guido and I hope the walk helps. Thinking of you both x

 

[starbar]

Oh gosh, fingers, toes and everything crossed for you xx

 

[Asha]

Keeping fingers crossed for you both x
