Healing vibes..urgently needed

[gwenoakes]

Everything firmly crossed here.

[kizi]

More heavy sedation.. Her temp has come up a degree.. She was cold from being so wet and obviously being in the field over night..
Gut has gone quieter.. Not passed anything all day.. Nasal tube in place to keep acid draining from stomach.. She's snoring right now..
If she goes bad again I have more sedation to give her.. She's had 4 sedations so far twice her body weight dose for the last 3 at this stage.. Pain meds didnt help.. hoping sedation will relax everything so it passes.. Hes checked everything else he can it just seems to be bad spasms...
So if she comes out of this one bad then that may be enough I think.. While she's sleeping keep everything crossed...

I'm keeping everything crossed for a good outcome.

Shetlands can be prone to impactions - though normally impactions don't show as vastly painful - that's why they can be so dangerous, it's not realised how bad they are until things are majorly serious. It can help to get them on a drip to try to flush them through with fluids, plus some vets (mine does) have a fluid they can flush them through with that will help break down an impaction.

If you've not had her long, how is her worming programme/history?

I hope things improve soon.

He did manage to do a rectal and felt noting.. There was some normal droppings but nothing to suggest impaction or twist or displacement..

I have has her on a worming programme vet advised since I've had her but who know what damage is in there...

She's had everything we can throw at her.. Fluids & drugs etc etc
Her abdomens now swollen a lot more than this morning though and hard... She's giving up too... Vet on way back again..

Kiki I had to log in when I read this. No helpfull suggestions I'm afraid but just wanted to let you know another one rooting for your little girl. Sending lots of healing thoughts.
Try to keep positive. Lots of hugs x

[sarahbing]

Healing vibes, poor little mite. At least she has you caring for her now x

[KimT]

Poor girl. Fingers and toes crossed for her. I hope she starts getting better soon. (((((hugs)))))

Just a thought here - a friend of mine had an apparent colic case some years ago. It was very very bad, she had 3 vets out, then the last one looked at her & immediately said 'redworm' - may be worth a check, it saved my friend's horses life.
Hope she gets better very soon whatever it is, poor love. Hugs to you too xx

My old pony had a torsion colic.. her tummy too swelled up overnight and she didn't pass any droppings. I had her put down in the end Hope your wee one is okay... sending more vibes...

Whatever the outcome she has had the best care and been loved. You will know if/when she's had enough. Take good care of yourself.

[wills]

Oh gosh poor wee thing. Thinking of you both and hoping she makes it through this to enjoy some happier times

[kafee]

Fingers and toes crossed, all the best. She's having the very best of care, don't forget to look after yourself.

Thinking of you both Kizi, and keeping everything crossed xx

Thanks for support throughout the day..

She's gone. Sedation was not working. Abdomen was swelling more. She was suffering. She's not now.. She went gently off to sleep. No more pain and suffering ever again.
Sleep sound twinkle xx
