Well, Dollar is showing improvement each day. She unfortunatly still running a slight fever since Wed afternoon. Our vet has been out everyday since we lost the foal (Tuesday night) and given her medication. He has flushed her out twice. My heart just breaks each time I look into her eyes. She is eating and drinking lots of water. I am so worried about the infection spreading. My vet says it will just take time and lots of monitoring for her. He did find a tear in her muscle wall, but none so far in her rectum. That is a surprise with how much pulling and tugging we had to do.
I have a question...the guy at Tractor Supply said I probably caused the foal to be to large. He said I should have cut her feed back the last two weeks. I never read that in all the research I did. I was feeding her Omelen 200 - two feedings a day -- 3.25 lbs a feeding -- orchard hay. The vet said no, but I don't know if he was just being nice to not hurt my feelings.
Thank you again for all your kind words and support.
