Monday 1st Nov - right as rain coming sound after doing splits three weeks previosuly - out with charlie, not out all the time but did spend more time in the field in the last 2 weeks due to being rested from work with strain.
Both came in for the night
Tuesday 2nd Nov Morning 9am Collapsed in a sweaty heap in stable, LW stable rug DRIPIPING in sweat, swaying and hitting walls trying to getting up, vet called painkillers and acp as looked laminitic maybe a little colicy. Seemed more setteled after pain killers.
Wed Thur Fri Sat - Various bright some days, very foot sore, bar shoes fitted as precaution Thursday. Thinking bog standard laminitis, was as if she couldnt lift her feet from the floor but was more locked up over hind end, staggered gait most days.
Sunday went manic in stable - head flicking, neighing generally bright but unsetteled brought char in next to her, tail swishing, hay eating started to slow down, normally a foooodie but dregs left
Monday seemed fine - again a little hay left minimal poohs - Bran & Hi Fi Left presumed as didnt want bute
Tuesday x rayed 8% rotation of pedals but bright and happy, vet said seemed much brighter, though feed left Meds administered directly by syringe
Wed - a ok day - not eating much ( very unlike her) - feed not touched syringed in bute, very little pooh and a little clammy/slightly sweaty
Thursday morn fine but hay and feed left
Stable Girls reported she was up and seemed ok at 4 - 5pm
Thursday 7pm gets to stables she collapses and starts colicking really bad. rolling, head baning, tail swishing really badly, neck outstreched, do have pics of this but quite distressing to see. Vet out in the hour painkillers massive dose and buscopan, Referal to hosiptal, stomach tap, yellow slightly cloudy, rectal felt impacted one side, ultrasound looked to have a fatty lump (lipoma) that may have flipped over intestine and be sqeezing her small instetine but hard to see as a big deep bodied mare.
Emergency Colic surgery, no twist found bowels severley impacted goes with the not eating - cleared out, the back bowel ( hind Gut)almost not function unable to move anything (Paralysis), Fluid Threpay and instensive nursing, fluids backing up and abdoman distending, gut motility zero, slowly deteriorating until 2pm today collapsed and put to sleep.

I know right, it's really upsetting when you lose someone, or something, in this case scenario. When you do, there is always a piece of the puzzle missing.
