I don't like the odds for a full recovery. Can't remember what they are, but I read up at the time of the decision and didn't feel comfortable with the chances of recovery versus the pain and confinement for the horse and the cost for us. Plus we are a couple of hours from the only place that could attempt it here and can't imagine trying to transport a badly colicked horse all that way. Everyone is different though. I hope it is nothing so severe for your boy though! Would love to hear it was a bean! :)Keechyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508060247369251383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-38005784229950467762011-03-27T21:55:42.696-07:002011-03-27T21:55:42.696-07:00I'm sorry. I used to think, if I lived close ...I'm sorry. I used to think, if I lived close to WSU, I'd just always go straight there--they have the equipment. When we had that colt break it's shoulder, we spent almost a week with a local misdiagnosis. There are other factors rather than just cost to consider--like what are his chances for surviving the surgery and what will his life be like afterward. If I could talk to you in person, I'd tell you more about my own stories--but it's TMI for this format. One step at a time....maybe it will be something much smaller than you think.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-11656169547911922272011-03-27T20:59:17.666-07:002011-03-27T20:59:17.666-07:00*Hugs* My little rescue gelding that I got with Tu...*Hugs* My little rescue gelding that I got with Tucker passed away a few weeks ago. I knew when I took him he would be a pasture pet, but we had a bond. The only advise I can offer is hope for the best and be prepared for the worst, and listen to what your heart is telling you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09228756155671995765noreply@blogger.com
