Sorry, I didn't see this post when I was on earlier but have now got all my fingers and toes crossed for a successful outcome to the pony's surgery and full recovery.
Just seen this post. I hope everything has gone well. Any update Damnation? I've spent numerous hours/days up at the vet school at Edinburgh. He's in the best place possible.
Thank you for all the good wishes, and an update on little Jester.
He came out of the surgery fine, last night and today are crucial to see if his gut restarts.
The cause of the colic were two fatty lymphoma's (sp?) that were wrapping around his gut and blocking it. (Well something like that)
She is was with him all day yesterday and they are now waiting for the vets to call with an update as to his progress.
Keep the vibes coming, the lil due isn't out of the woods yet!!
Dancing_Queen - He is 22, had laminitus this winter, has had it very badly in the past, it nearly killed him! And he was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome earlier this year so hes not having a good year, but hes tough!
Not so good news, hes gone downhill rapidly. No idea whats caused it, thats all my friend has said and I don't want to press her. She's said its just a waiting game. Come on lil Jester you pull through it!!!
