I started a post a few days about my mare not acting right. If your horse is not acting right DO NOT WAIT! GET THEM MEDICAL ATTENTION!!!! What I thought was her just getting ready to have her baby has turned out to be a horrible case of hyperlipidemia and colic. I have her at the Sheridan Equine Center right now and they are loading her with fluids and hoping she will poop on her own but if she hasn't pooped in one hour they are going to do surgery. I asked what her chance of survival was and he said he won't even venture a guess at this point. I swear I didn't even realize she was sick. How did she become so critical so fast? I wonder what I could have done to see this coming. She is about 330 days pregnant. He did a test and said he doesn't think the foal is ready so he will not take it unless their is a chance the mare won't survive. Then he will try to save the baby. I just can't believe this is happening. Prayers are needed. Thank you.
