Please help me!!! Dreamer is having a pelvic nerve lock

[MBennettp]

It looks like she is thinking about taking over the cot.

 

[barnbum]

She's thinking if they'd lift her onto the cot it'd be a very comfy place to have her foal.

I think the foal will make an appearance today.

There's a good feeling about this outcome in my heart.

 

[shelia]

She seems to be getting around much better today! I have been watching her and she was so curious about that cot that she had to go investigate. She looks to be in good spirits. When her mom comes back in she goes back to eating. Then more investigating. It looks so cold there! The cot looks comfy though. I am thinking dreamer is thinking the same thing!LOL!

Just added where to go to see this prescious little mare.

Thinking of her and her wonderful owner. Bless you for all you are doing

Did not see her over at the cot, but sounds like she is improving slowly

I just talked with Theresa again and she has been recieving threats and if they continue, the camera will be turned off.

This is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would call and threaten her and tell her that she has no business owning animals. She thinks these threats are coming from another board that this has been posted on not from this board.

If anyone is a member on the other board, please ask the moderator to remove the post, there is no excuse for that kind of harrassment when she is absolutely doing everything she can to help this mare.

Can you say who the other board is?? Or pm me. I have looked at other boards but have not seen anything negative at all? Those people should be ashamed

 

[WeeOkie]

How very sad the situation is with your mare. I want to add my thoughts and prayers for a good outcome.

Poor Theresa, it's ridiculous that people would criticize and even threaten someone who is so obviously a wonderful, loving owner. OH! You can SEE the love between Dreamer and Theresa, and everything possible is being done for this sweet mare. I can certainly understand if they have to turn the camera off, there is enough to deal with already without having to deal with nutcases too!

Keeping Dreamer in my prayers, what a trouper she is, and her owners too!

 

[shelia]

That is terrible! (the threats). I remember last year there was something similar that happened on a different foal watch site. There always seems to be people who try to ruin this great tool we have. This is so important to people who need extra eyes on these mares! This is also such an educational tool for all of us! I don't understand how anybody can misinterpret what is going on! If they are truly watching they can clearly see the love between the mare and the owner! Horses are herd animals and take great comfort knowing there owners are there to protect them when they are vunerable! The person making these threats must not have any bond with there own animals! They must have never taken the time to truly understand how animals feel.

It is usually only one person who is causing the trouble and I hope the other forum can put a stop to it.

It is unbelievable how some people can be. In my opinion, Theresa shows exactly how an animal owner should be. She has unconditional love for this mare and it shows. I did go to another forum yesterday and saw a few rude comments on how she shouldn't be in there and let the horse have some peace. I was so upset at those comments. In my opinion they are the ones that don't know how to take care of animal.

Theresa, you continue caring for Dreamer the way you know is best. God bless you.

 

[barnbum]

Threats?

Theresa is probably too tired to think through and absorb the thought that there are 1000s of supporters vs. 1-2 idiots. Sigh. There are ALWAYS idiots. Hope she can keep it in perspective so it doesn't wear on her. Maybe someone can print these replies so she has something to read in the barn. That ought to help.

I bet it's even more overwhemling to think about when one is in such a state of exhaustion and worry.

 

[backwoodsnanny]

There is just no excuse for ignorance if anyone has been watching since Thurs and cant see the love between Threrea and Dreamer must be blind to the bond that exists between this owner and her mare. Anyone critisizing this owner just doesnt get it and hopefully doesnt have animals of their own. Also if they dont like it they have the option of not watching but this poor family doesnt need threats at this time they need loving support from the horse community. Walk a mile in their shoes before you make negative comments. I do think the forum that is allowing these comments should be identified so we all can avoid it. These cameras are a wonderful learning tool for all who watch and a big help to the owners who do need extra eyes to help BUT if it also brings comments and threats when one is already on an emotional roller coaster then some of the value is diminished. Continued prayers for Dreamer and Theresa and family.

Theresa now has some options. My vet said that if we can get the mare in the trailer and get her here he will try to help her. Theresa also has someone trying to get in touch with another vet that is closer to her to see if they can get help closer to home. If all closer options are exhausted, I will see if I can get some help to take with me so we can get the mare in the trailer and bring her here. The mare will have to be helped to the trailer but once in there can lay down for the trip. The problem is that we are 2 1/2 hours from her. If there is someone closer that has a GOOD equine vet that may be able to help please call Theresa.

They are located fairly close to the TX border so even in TX may be closer than I am. They are located north of Lawton, OK.

I think Theresa is overwhelmed right now and I know she is exhausted.

Keep up the prayers and good thoughts, they are helping.

Mary, if they can get her in a trailer waht about bringing her to Equine Medical Associates on I-35 or Oakridge Equine just off of I-35 on Waterloo Road. These are both top equine facilities with clients coming in from surrounding states. We use both and recommend them highly.

Reo please tell Theresa not to give up even iif the news is not good on getting Dreamers hip back in. For years we owned and loved the sweetest little crippled mare. She had been badly injured years before we got her and the previous owner had bought her to save her life and give her a chance. For close to a year she would go out and help the little mare stand up in the morning and she was good to go for the day. By the time i got her she could get up and down on her own. She had 1 back leg that was almost totally useless and the other back leg was not very good. She lived at least 10-12 more years that way and was the best horse. She enjoyed her life and was seen by a vet regularly and we all loved her. So dont give up on Dreamer yet.

I have permission to cross post this from the wefoal thread at marestare. I thought it was so beautiful and fitting. Really made me tear up reading this.

Quoted from Debandrich

Dear Heavenly Father, You know that if I could be on my knees and type at the same time, I'd be on my knees now. Lord, a little while ago I opened up Dreamer's cam and the scene broke my heart. Dreamer was still laying down and Theresa was sitting on the edge of her bed crying. My tears flowed too.

Dear Lord, I beg you, wrap Your loving arms around Dreamer, Theresa and all that love Dreamer. Protect them and give them strength. Guide the hands of Dreamer's care givers and especially watch over Dreamer's unborn foal so that it may come into this world full of spunk to a healthy mama and happy human family.

Lord, only You know why things happen the way they do and our job is to except. But I'm begging, please let this have a happy outcome. So many around the world are praying for this family and I know that when 2 or more are gathered in Your Name You are there too. I ask beg again, wrap Your loving arms around this loving family, bring the chiropractor as soon as possible and guide his hands so all will be well again.

All this I ask in Your Name. Thy will be done.

Amen.

Kay--

Perfect words.

And everyone replied [SIZE=36pt] AMEN! [/SIZE]

 

[afoulk]

What a lovely prayer Amen This family and Dreamer just need all the support they can get right now. It is so obvious that there is alot of love between Dreamer and her owners. I personally would like to thank them for leaving the Cam on as long as possible and opening up their barn for us to view and be somewhat a part of their pain. Dreamer has so much trust for Theresa and you can really see it. How can anyone criticize anything that they have seen on this cam.

Hello everyone. I wanted to stop and tell you all that Theresa is SO thankful for all the prayers and caring words. This is such a wonderful group of folks.

I am trying to execute a plan to raise funds for them to be able to help this beautiful mare. They are wonderful caring folks that just cannot afford the surgery that Miss Dreamer may need. I will be back with more info when I can.

Thanks again to you all~~
