Just got off the phone with Lexi. Summer has been doing very well, until late this afternoon, when she started to run a fever of about 103. Lexi called the vet to come check her right away, and now the vet is running back to the office to get supplies to flush Summer.
I was very surprised to hear that the vets had NOT flushed Summer after her ordeal yesterday -- especially with the long manipulation period it took to remove baby. So, the vet will be flushing her, and I suggested giving her Banamine for the fever.
The vet also said that Summer could have a tear -- but that would be the worse case scenario.
Asked what I would do if she were my mare, I said I would flush Summer tonight and tomorrow, but if Summer continues to run fever after 2 flushes (48 hours), I would suggest taking her to the vet hospital to look for a tear.
I believe that is what she's going to try. She is going to call me either tonight, or tomorrow morning to let me know how Summer is doing and I will update here. Lexi said she has come to check her thread, and thanks everyone for their comments and prayers. She said she feels like she has a large family behind her, and once Summer is out of the woods, she will be back to post for us.
SO MORE PRAYERS PLEASE. PRAY that after all that manipulation, and not being flushed yesterday, that this flushing and anitbiotic will work just fine, and Summer will continue to heal without any further problems. Your prayers helped to save her -- so now let's pray to get her well!!!
Just wanted to give an update.
