Citaat:Update for Tess's colt...
Sorry cams were down but he began to crash pretty quickly.
Good news- Tess has milk and the foals IGG levels are nearing acceptable. We will retest in morning and hope that they are continuing to rise (now that she is making her own colostrum!)
Now for the bad- colt has a pelvic impaction. Vet gave him IV fluids, some drugs for his tummy, and a mineral oil/warm water tube enema. The impaction is pretty bad (based upon palpation) and is going to take a while.
We are in a wait and see pattern here. Watching him tonight but he is feeling a lot better than a few hours ago.
If you see him rolling continuously as he was trying to do earlier, please don't hesitate to call us. He's loping, trotting, and bucking now so that must be a sign that all of the prayer are working!
