My goose egg was rocking and rolling like mad when I did my last egg check of the night.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I have to go eat cottage cheese so that I'll have a duckling waterer for the Calls

Priorities... gotta love how those little chit machines change those for us, lol...

Good gal - let me go see

Great post - whether it will hit home is another story completely, but it should help any others who may be thinking that breeding = big bucks

There's a lot I left out... and a lot I forgot to say, but I'm just tired now... either things will sink in or not...

I'm calm now... we'll see if the thread lasts long enough for my post to go through...

One of the best posts I've seen on the topic in a long time.

Hi, Debs / everyone

 

[Laurel Meadows]

Ouch.... hope she makes a full and speedy recovery!!

Oh, and...

oh no! what happened!

Oh my surgery for horses is major.....  

    Poor baby!

 

Good morning! And hugs all around lol Thanks, everyone for the kind words and well-wishes for my old mare. She was a trooper, nearly 5 hours, 2 vets, 2 techs (one even came on her day off) here for her standing surgery. They removed 2 fairly large bone fragments from inside her jaw, cleaned and debrided the large abscess track and attempted to remove a tooth in the area that eventually she got to keep!

I took lots of pics but won't include any yucky ones here lol. I don't want to make anyone lose their coffee

She has a recheck next week to remove the gauze with iodine scrub that's packed and sutured in the wound and if all looks good next week, she'll have that pack replaced with a plaster of Paris "filling" infused with antibiotics. That will fill the abscess tract and hopefully she will heal completely and not continue to abscess under her jaw.
I'm very thankful to have such an awesome vet. He saved her from impaction colic 2 years ago as well. 29 years old and I've had her for 20 years so she's very special to me
