Well I have good and bad news. They found a large blockage in her stomach and are trying to break it up and suck it out thru some sort of nasal tube with a probe on it. The vets (she has a whole staff now- surgical, medical and reproduction specialists) seemed pretty happy that they finally found something to explain some of the problems. However the blockage seemed to have caused her to get some fluids into her lungs. So we are now dealing with mild pneumonia, mild hyperlipemia plus the blockage problems (vet warned me that there may be more). Goldie is still pretty lethargic but on massive antibiotics now and stuff to help her liver levels. Baby is okay but starting to stress somewhat. We are still very iffy but hopeful.
I am trying to get thru this the best I can and writing this somehow is helping me. If it helps just one other mini I will be happy. Just a little background on what happened so other can be aware of it.
I have seen a lot of colics but I would never have guessed Goldie had any sort of colic let alone, impaction colic. Sun night she was totally fine. Mon morning she was a little quiet but nothing very out of the ordinary. He is a chow hound but she took a bite of food and left it. She never had any signs of pain, distress, rolling, pawing, sweating, etc. I called the vet because she didn't eat and just was not right but couldn't explain why.
Goldie's hyperlipemia came secondary to her blockage (due to her lack of eating since Sun PM) and is pretty mild right now thankfully. However, last Nov we had a 6 month old foal Rebel come down with it bad. He was a totally healthy bubbly boy one day and the next day had 105 temp, seizures and sky high liver values. He went from super healthy to gone in less that 48 hrs. He was taken to the emergency hospital immediately and I was told he just was a really bad case. He never missed a meal but the vet said sometimes it just happens. It is the most horrible deadly condition I have ever seen. The last few hours my colt lost his sight and became very neurologic and disoriented. He was having seizures on and off despite the vets every effort. When we knew there was no hope and we did all we could we had to let him go over the rainbow bridge. I prayer Goldie will come out of this okay and not have the same fate as our little boy. Even though she has a mild case of hyperlipemia it still upsets me. I still have flashbacks to our little guy that we lost. Hug your minis daily as you never know when you might lose them.
