Asking for good old board magic

[superkitty]

MA, I am so sorry to hear that there's been no improvement, I definitely understand your pain and frustration that Racer's in so much pain. Sending many *good healing vibes* to him.

MA how is Racer this morning? I hope and pray that he is better

I hope that you are okay as well, have you gotten any rest? The boys and I will still be praying for him and for you.

I don't know what all you want to hear? I would love to say that he has reached his stability point and he is finally comfortable, but he has gone downhill. The vet was out this morning and was not encouraged either. He says that from all the symptoms Race shows, the inability to want to move, the cowed (bowed) front legs, that Race is probably going to make a liar out of him and be one of those rare horses that don't read the manual. In other words, the vet now thinks there has been rotation on the coffin bone, which if I am understanding this right, in the first instance of founder, this rarely happens. I am to stop feeding him anything but junk hay, his pain killer has been kicked up a notch, he got a pain shot and I am to stop feeding him this special mix called strategy even though I don't feed him but 2 cups of this a day so he can get his meds. x-rays were taken and the vet said he will call. I am to spend creek time with him 35 minutes 3 times a day- and I was given a list of things to watch out for that would mean he is getting even worse instead of better which I can only pray does not happen.

My farrier is on his way out and will stop by today on his way home to talk to me.There is little he can do at this point until Racer stablizes, because touching his legs and feet just results in a lot of pain for him. I wish I had better news- but I don't.

Oh nooooo , I am so sorry M.A. (((((((HUGS)))))))

I will continue to pray for you and Racer

Oh, MA, that is depressing news. Well, we'll just keep the prayers coming. Don't forget to take care of you!

 

[jugen]

Oh MA, I'm so sorry.

 

[shell]

I'm so very sorry Maryanne! Still sending lots of prayers & good thoughts to you & to Racer!

Speaking for me, I just wanted to hear how you & Racer were, even if not the best of news.

I wish there was something I could do to help, but since there isn't, just know there are prayers being said for strength for both of you, and healing.

 

[hissy]

I just heard- there is no rotation! This is good news, though the vet cautioned me there still could be some. But for right now, the bone is still intact!

 

[sicycat]

Glad to hear the good news hissy
