Please don't give up, you owe it to the foal to try to get it on the ground alive and well.

not so straight forward, she has a secondary abcess which has left a massive hole in her foot which has been dug out, she is ok in herself, nothing stops her eating but she has dropped weight. not giving up though, she deserves to see baby and try and keep her going untill she says enough.

Keeping everything crossed for you, you are having a rough old time this year :(
Perhaps when she has foaled her body will be able to heal itself? x

Keeping my fingers crossed for your poor mare. Just try to keep in mind that vets usually operate on 'worse case scenario'. I really hope that you have your mare at the end of it all. Keep your chin up.x
