Just like to say thanks

Hi Everyone,

I know it has been ages since I have been on here. With working 3rd shifts all the time, i don't get my me time on the computer as often as I use too. But , thanks to this forum, and the members on here, I was able to use what i have learned about colic and I saved my Buddy. This was my second bout with colic. Posie coliced really bad about a month after coming to live with me. 6 days, a lot of prayers, and a whole lot of money and she came home. But, with Buddy it was different. It hit him hard and very fast.. Now, I think I know what caused it.(antibotics for a drippy eye) One minute he was fine, and the next on the ground with his eyes rolled back. Couldn't find a vet(On Vac. out because of the holiday). So I jumped into to action and started with mineral oil, banimine(sp) walking. I was with him for over 24 hrs and my little Buddy started to come around.. I thought I lost him a few times, but I never gave up, and neither did he.. Now everyone in the barn loves power ade, but Buddy..

Thanks to LB for being there. If it wasn't for LB, I would have never gotten my first mini..

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this forum either. I have learned SO MUCH HERE-their are some wonderfully knowledgeable people on this forum.

So glad you boy turned around for you. And YES - Gatorade - Powerade is wonderful for these horses when they are sick. Respiratory or colic, puts fluids into their system almost as quickly as Iv's do.

Good luck,

Beth

Great job saving your little pal. I agree that the help and advice that's available here on LB is worth more than it's weight in gold. I had been a lurker until Bambi colicked. Got on here and asked for help and it was there immediately. Great people on here who are ready to lend a hand when we need it.

Art and I would be lost without this forum! The people here have saved 2 of my horses...Dreamer and Lady. If I had not gotten such quick replys about Lady we would have lost her. Calcium levels are not something to mess with! Dreamer, well she now belongs to everyone on this board! There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum. If you need help or advice at 1-2-3-4 am or any other time of the day, there is ALWAYS someone on to help.......I am so glad your Buddy is okay...Theresa
