25 years old mare Winnie colicky last night
Vet came to tube oil her at 3. AM
She's not better this morning and vet to return later
Afraid it'll be life threatening for her now. These things always come around Christmas in our family it seems. We've had her since 2 yr old
On a colic watch
Update
Winnie is up and nibbling food just now
Hope she's out of the woods
Best of luck to her. She is beautiful. The holiday's seem to get my family in a bad way as well. Sayin prayer for her!
Hope she continues to get better.
Hope she continues to improve!
She's a beauty, btw!

Looks and sounds well cared for! What breed?(almost looks like a Standardbred)
Par4QC.
She is out of woods unlike my driving
We're rationing her modest amounts of food and encouraging water drinking
Such a big relief. Our horses are older and have long term injuries that make them pasture ornaments, aka big a$$ pets. most folks would probably take them to livestock sale & they'd go to can & cutters slaughtering. How can people do that to their pets
Ours are family members
We'll bury them with tears when that time comes or visa versa
Winnie is mixed breed warm blood with Arabian has good conformation for sporting events. Daughter Cindy was into dressage when young and later breeding warmbloods . Market for such animals went off and big financial looser. We're down to our last two which is good cause we're too old for farm work helping our daughter who lives with us. Had lots of fun and joy and lots of the other sharing her equine hobby. Horses is the funniest people.
Thanks to all you guys expressing kind wishes
Much appreciated! And a Happy ending just like the Halmark channel
