Bad night at Mountain Meadows

[MountainMeadows]

Our last foal of the season, Mississippi Belle was bred to HCM High Tech for her first foal -- I have waited 7 years for this baby, but I guess it was just not to be. Missy went into labor about 9 pm - wasn't progressing like normal - went in and checked and found a huge mass - didn't know if it was breach, or what, but ended up taking her to the clinic -- big mess there, the new facility was under some sort of renovation, the vets were disorganized the interns were inept (took nearly 40 minutes to get a catheter into my mare and she was sedated and just standing there! OH! . Ended up going to surgery for a c-section and finally got the foal out - needlesstosay lost a pretty little filly. Still touch & go for Missy - she is still in ICU, need to get the placenta out, bad night - I am pooped.

Chin up. Think positive. She is going to do fine. I had a mare (bis horse) that had ripped her abdomen open back by her utter. UCD didn't think she would make it so she stood for 3 days in a stall there. Then one day when they went in to examen her she totally ripped open and her intestines dropped to the ground. They wrapped a sheet around her to hold the intestines and rushed her to surgery. She was there for a month but she made it. Your mare while her surgery was for a c-section, she will be ok. Go see her as much as you can because they need something they know. She will get better. ((((HUGS))))

I'm so sorry.

That is just heartwrenching. I hope your mare recovers fully. Did you ever figure out what the mass was?

Stacy. i am so sorry that this happened, I will keep hoping and praying your mare does well with a full recovery. I had a mare once that had a C section, and she did well. I hope yours does also.

Sending good thoughts for your mare, Stac. You must be exhausted, horribly disappointed/sad, and worried for Missy.

[SIZE=12pt]I'm so sorry Stacey, all 3 of our C section mares have done VERY well and the one that was rebred went on to a COMPLETELY normal foaling career. It's so hard, but you know you got her the best care possible and hopefully she will get better daily. Also, all of ours spiked a fever about 48 hours post surgery, but it was likely from the shock to their systems and all then took a turn for the better.
