So my horse hasnt been doing too grand the past couple of days.
We had the vet come out because she wasnt pooping and not eating as much as she does. She wasn't herself so I got the vet over and he the vet said she coliced last night,she has some jaundice(they said it can be caused by eating grass and not too worry about it),had a fever,and she is impacted. The gave her some benamine and pumped her with mineral oil to flush her system out.
They also told me she has had a baby before...but that's not a big subject right now. I am suppose to call the vet every morning and night to update them and if she doesn't pass anything then she needs to be pumped again the vet said.
I am FREAKING out. I never experienced this and I DON'T WANT my horse to die....I mean ..I'm not in a complete safe zone yet. I'm in a 50/50 zone of what could happen. I was told horses intestines can blow in 72 hours caused by impaction so if this mineral oil doesn't help quickly then I might not have my gidget.
