Yesterday I went to pick up my fighter as the hospital was not able to do anything more for him, values were ok and he was stable and eating. Cried some happy tears when I drove him home because only a few days ago he was dying. Still abit nervous of course but I had a back-up plan. Yesterday my dad flew in a special medicine from Sweden, it's a product still not on the market that has proven excellent for this type of acute intestine condition. My uncle vetPer Spångfors in Sweden generously gave me a dosis of this 'eggpowder' developed by Sahlgrenska, see 'Antisekretorisk faktor'. So yesterday evening I started to treat Start with this. Today at 6.30 in the morning he had already started to form normal droppings and today he has been out alittle grazing and with a happy face!
The fractured jaw now has to heal, 3 days ago one of the wires from the surgery had broke and Start was not able to move his mouth and in alot of pain. This was the time he stopped getting fluids intraveniously so it was even more fundamental he was able to eat. And fundamental he was not in acute in pain of course. I was very worried to see him like this as he had spent 1 night and one day without eating anything, and I could feel something was wrong. When the surgeon examined him he found one of the wires broken. He removed it and the day after he could move his jaw agan. So then I could also start to eat something :),.
It's a thin line and extreme stress not knowing if your horse is going to make it or not. It was so hard to see him suffer I could hardly can't stand it. This time I also found it hard to be the owner/client of a horse in hospital but I am still very greatful. Recieve all, judge nothing. My horse survived and how does it get any better than that!!
I have have had fantastic support from so many and I want to genuinely thank everyone, it means alot and I got power from you so thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Start happy at home :)
