My mini mare started colic on Friday night.

She was laying flat. Still interested in eating, but then would lay flat.

Gave banamine, a emma, a little salt in water. Watched her till 3 am, was fine.

Fine all day Sat. & Sunday. Today she is in ICU at Texas A&M.

Check her all day yesterday. Was fine. Last night went to feed, she was down

again flat. Took to the Vet. Vet sent us to Texas A&M, he was afraid she would

need surgery. Longest trip ever.. 3 hours on the road. Thankfully I took her

daughter who is her buddy with her. We arrived, they did all kinds of test,

a altra sound, everything came back normal. Heart rate, pulse, gums, all good.

Still got some fluid from tummy. Kept her, re-ran test today, small impaction

in small intestines. With med's and so many prayers, she is improving.

She is alert, fussy at them. She is back passing poop today. She did get IV's

today, with Sugar and electro lytes added. They are keeping her for the week.

So please say a prayer for my mare. I thought we were out of the woods.

also friends please watch your horses its also a full moon, which for some

reason causes a lot of colics. I got this from a friend who own's and run's a pet cemetary. He said on the full moon's to take all grain away from horses.

I am not a vet, just a miniature horse owner. Honey is one of my best, and she

is my baby. Please keep her in your prayers too.

Her daughter Pooh could use a prayer too. Seems in all the mist of Honey, Pooh

some how on the trip scratch her eye ball, so they are treating her eye. Her

eye swelled up today. Poor girl. Divia their other buddy is home and so lost without

them. I spent time tonight with her. Stalled her next to some other mini mares I

have trying to help her.

Please with the Full MOON, watch your horses.. Prayers for Honey, and Pooh.

Thank You.

Update from the Vet at A&M. Honey had a good night. She has been pain free, and

if all goes well through today and tonight she can come home tomorrow. Pooh's

eye looks better today, and they said the swelling has gone down. The eye ball

it self looks better. I have been praying hard for my girls. And the Lord does

answer them. So praying all continue's to go well and they are home with tomorrow.

I took off work to go, so praying the next update is a good one.

Thank You for your continued prayers for my girls.
 
Yeppee. Honey and Pooh are doing good. Both can come home tomorrow from

Texas A&M Large Animal Hospital. I am so excited. Prayers do work.. I have

prayed so hard this week. Sunday night we were facing Colic surgery on her

small intestine. Today, she is improving and NO Surgery. Pooh's eye is

improving, so I can continue med's at home. I am so excited tonight.

Thank you for your prayers, and thank you LORD for recovery and no surgery.

God Bless to all of you!
 
Glad to hear that your mares are coming home tomorrow!

thank goodness they are both improving and can come home. First thing I thought when you talked about that on again, off again colic was ulcers.

Sick little horses
