Ouch! Paramedic hubby said it looks kind of like a prolapsed uterus. What did the vet say about it? Poor baby. Sending more prayers for her.

 

[Marnie]

OMG, that poor girl. I pray for her to recover without having to go through to much more. What does the vet say? Is he a good vet? I ask because so many aren't, if not, maybe you could get another opinion. I just can't get you and her off of my mind, I hope you got some rest overnight and you have someone there to help and to lean on. God Bless You. I'll check back when I get home from work today, I'll be praying for improvement, I can just cry for you.

 

[Denali]

'minimule' Ouch! Paramedic hubby said it looks kind of like a prolapsed uterus. What did the vet say about it? Poor baby. Sending more prayers for her.

[SIZE=14pt]the vet said it is just swelling from all the trauma. it took her an hour to get the baby out :no: . still hard to believe this has happened. Nikki[/SIZE]

 

[HobbsFarm]

sending prayers that it's not as bad as it looks... Nikki this may be as graphic as your pictures but maybe it will bring you hope... my little donkey that we had to have a fetotomy done on her foal to get it out, was not this swollen BUT her tissues were literally shredded from the vet's arms, the baby pieces, the equipment... as she healed the dead tissue sloughed off in gobs... so maybe this, as horrible as it looks, it not so bad... hopefully swelling will go down soon. have you tried cold packs? i'm sure Petunia wouldn't like ice but something cool may feel good and help the swelling...

oh good luck my friend... i have been worried about you and Petunia all night long. sending constant prayers!!!!

 

[RJRMINIS]

I don't know why but I keep thinking Peperation H, would that help with swelling? It may bring cooling relief... You may ask the vet, if using that ointment on her would be beneficial...........

[PaintedMeadows]

Oooohhhh, poor sweet Petunia. I am so sorry for her and for you and that sweet little baby. i wil say a prayer for your girl. All the biggest hugs in the world to you too.

wow that is a great idea KsCowgirl! we have actually used it before on wounds that should have been stitched that we didn't find until too late to stitch... it also draws the tissue together so well that several very nasty cuts have healed without even leaving a scar! another idea might be diaper rash ointment? to help soothe those irritated tissues?

 

[rabbitsfizz]

That does look horrible but you would be amazed at how much soft swelling can come up and also go down as quickly- I think she needs steroids, though, and I think she needs them sooner rather than later.

Is she on Bute???

You do need to have a strong word with your vet- she is not going to be able to pass water or faeces like that- loads of oil, there is no way an enema could be got in.

I would not worry too much about getting her on her feet I would forget the sling for now and just prop her up on her front ands help her up only if she wants.

Keep her safe, keep her warm and know all our prayers are with you.

I am so sorry. I had a mare that was very bruised and swollen nt like this though as it was not this red she was literally bruised black and blue within a couple of hours.. the deep redness of this has me concerned.

 

[MBhorses]

:no: poor girl :no:

I am so sorry for your loss.

i hope your mare gets well soon.

prayers coming your way.
