  • Yikes for Firefly! Scary stuff.

    Years ago Jet had a colic impaction. Tried to get him over it thinking it was just colic. I had to have R help me get him to Retama.
    The surgeon laid out the facts and it wasn't pretty. A five day stay and they were able to get him unstopped without surgery. I imagine it would be easier with a mini.
    We had a Northern with rain the other day and Tex and Tonto both were shivering. Tossed blankets on and gave hay. I need to remember lunging. (duh!)

    Hunterseat you mean the Rescue Roll. In giant dogs it is called bloat but essentially twisted gut.
    Stude is right about horses,their guts are just yards of intestine all jumbled up
    Pilot knew a Wolfhound breeder years ago and he helped her do it once successfully.
    We had to do it with Maggie. That was a scary night.
    I could have used it Saturday morning. I was struck down with a stomach bug that really wiped me out.

    Hello kitty. It sounds like Boy has lots of room.

    Today is Farrier day if it doesn't rain and he can get here.
    His wife continues to decline but hangs on. It will be in God's time.

    We have rain forecast all week. We need some.
    Hoping to sneak a ride in tomorrow.

    Anyway it is a new week and a new month already?
    Everyone have a colic free (horse, human or dog) week!
