The dreaded "C" word.

Oh poop. GOnna be OK?

Thanks for asking. She is looking better today. She finally passed some poop after getting Banamine, Buscopan, being tubed with water, electrolytes, mineral oil, and getting 16 liters of IV fluids.

Fingers crossed. It's always scary.

Thanks. We have a different vet coming tomorrow to look at her teeth.

Back in December, I brought her in because she had a foot abscess. A couple of days later (the 18th), her face swelled up, and we called the vet out. The vet wasn't sure what was causing it, but thought maybe it was from the sharp edges on her teeth, so she floated her teeth.

The next day, it was obvious that the swelling was an abscess. Anyway, that is almost healed up now, but despite having had her teeth floated, it still looks like she's having trouble chewing.

One of the first pieces of poop she passed was oblong and had very long, unchewed pieces of hay, so I think that contributed to this colic.

Colic is the Big C for equines.
