Final update
Fantasy was put to rest yesterday morning.
By afternoon day 4 she had fallen down again, there was a different vet on shift and he gave her some extra sedatives for her to have a rest (so she would lay without seizuring or struggling).
Decreased urine that afternoon.
Day 5 AM...
Thank you so much for all kind thoughts and words.
Day 4 today..... 2 steps forwards and 1 back....
She fell down early hours this morning (for the first time).
We think she may of slipped on her bedding and despite another dose of anti-toxin yesterday she still has tetanus toxins in her...
Thanks for you thoughts and prayers.
I have just gotten back from a visit and there is a slight improvment tonight.
Her legs are a little free'er!

She has also had her catherter sutured in to minimise...

After doing 4 seasons with a white medincine hat mare.
Wash the morning of the show (not the day before).
Float boots on the legs which stay on until just before going in the ring.

I have had a filly down with a tick and pulled her through.
Lots of massage, get someone to help hold her up as if she was standing for a few minutes to get the blood circulating through her legs (though she wont stand on them). Do this a few times a day (every couple of hours).
No food, no...
I always used to have goldfish quite funny to see the horses drinking as the fish all come around the horses mouths to grab any seeds or grains that may come out when they rinse their mouths before drinking.
But i find they seem to die after i worm the horses must be some wormer residue in...
HI,
I have not been here for so so long so hello to everyone!
I have just been going through the archives on balding / shaving as i have a yearling colt i would like to have a practise on to see if it suits him or not.
I have been showing for many years but have never tried this techinque so...
I have a horse who was born white with pink skin.
One parent was a silver dapple
the other a silver dapple gone grey.
By the time she was a yearling her skin was mottled all over and remains that way.
I always suspected she may be grey but was not sure as she had no grey hairs.
This was...
