Location: So. Cali. | My amazing mare had Epiploic Foramen Entrapment surgery on August 7th. She had developed a hernia which they removed as well as approx. 10' of damaged small intestine. She recovered from surgery wonderfully and was able to come home at the minimum 10 day hold. On September 21st I had to rush her back to the hospital due to colic symptoms where I was informed she had an impaction in her small intestine. We tried to get her to pass it with the assistance of fluids as I did not think she could do another surgery so soon. Unfortunately I had to make the decision to let her be free of pain. On Saturday October 12th her three year old daughter went off her feed. I didn’t think much of it as she does it on occasion with her teeth changing and figured I'd just find a molar in her feeder in a day or two. Monday morning I checked her temp and it was 103.9. Without writing a novel, after 3 visits from a local vet who I feel was not taking her condition seriously I finally rushed her to the hospital on Friday the 18th. She is currently fighting an episode of colitis with an unknown underlining issue. Blood work & fecal samples are not giving us any answers. She has now gone 24 hours without a fever, but is not yet able to come off the fluids. Please keep her in your thoughts as I do not know if I could stand to lose her so soon after her mother. |

Location: So. Cali. | Knew the strength of BHW prayers wouldn't disappoint. Been a few slow improvement days, but as of today, after 1 week in the hospital, she is finally off fluids, hasn't had a fever flare up in almost 2 days now. Still on antibiotics. Growing a better appetite as well. All wonderful news. They believe she should be able to come home mid next week. All tests they ran came up with no results as to what all caused this.

Location: So. Cali. | She was released from ISO yesterday and I was finally able to take her on a walk. First time out of her the hospital stall in 9 days. They're still working on weaning her off all drugs before releasing her to come home. Hopefully this week... |

Yes mam, that's weird! Like on here, I CANNOT "view more emoticons" to get to the big list of them. All I can do is use the 7 at the bottom of this first page. . . I feel like one hand is tied behind my back when I can't emphasize my point with all the cute little emoticons!! |

Location: So. Cali. | Sorry for the late update!! I was originally set to leave work early Friday Novemeber 1st to pick her up, however I got a call Halloween night that the hospital was evactuating due to a fire that had just errupted near by. I am about an hour and 45 minutes from the hospital so I frantically called a friend who is only about 20 minutes away and she hopped in her truck & trailer and headed over to get her while I jumped in mine and headed that way. So as of yesterday she has been home 1 week. She is still having some digestive issues but expected with everything she went thru. Yesterday was the first day in 4 weeks that Ive seen her run around & kick up her heels so that was a good sign. Thank you all again!! |
