thats why iam worried wilh de-ago hes allways got his

nose on the ground and eating leave ect....iam so glad to hear finn is better..i was so worried about him

and you
 
Kylie just rang me back... Finn has taken a small step backward, he has done a poop which is good but now has diarrhea, he isn't drinking from Suzie and is depressed... she is going to connect him back onto the fluids to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated... he won't be coming home tonight
default_sad.png
its good that he has bowel movements but we don't want him to loose to much fluids and electrolights.

going to visit him this afternoon... might take some carrots and apples for Suzie

she has been SO GOOD through all of this! letting us do what we can for her little baby man!

Please keep praying, the prayers are helping! our God is one who cares and loves all His creatures! he has already gotten Finn through the really hard part! I know He will get him through the rest!!

Oh Cassie, I hope your vet finds out what is wrong with Finn soon so that she can help him get better.
 
I hope it is just a little set back Cassie - I expect he's still feeling uncomfortable in his tummy after all he has been through. Believe it or not, watery poo is often a sign of constipation/blockage - the water/fluid can get through but the 'blockage' cant.

I think it unlikely that Finn has had a twist, he would have got worse and not shown any signs of improvement at all. I suspect he has got his little system a bit blocked somehow. Maybe he ate something that was a bit difficult to digest (we all know how babies like to investigate everthing and anything!) and that caused a 'slow down' in his stystem plus I think you said that you had to keep him and Suzie stabled for a couple of days due to the awful weather? The lack of his usual grass (moist food) plus the lack of exercise could have come just at the time he had nibbled/eaten what ever it was and the two things/circumstances could have resulted in his digestion 'drying' out, hence causing and slow down and eventually a blockage?

Has your vet said what they are giving him/doing to help moisten and shift any blockage or are they hoping that just keeping him hydrated will hopefully do the trick. Love the way your vet has been spending time with him, and so pleased that Suzie is being a good girl as she must be feeling a little confused by being away from you. She will be so pleased to see you today bless her.

just came back from visiting my beautiful boy n his lovely mumma!! <3

they are set up in a beautiful stall, with heaps of straw, and AIRCONDITIONING!!! LOL lucky things! Finn is in his own pen in the side of the stall n suzie is in the big part, they have him separated while he has the fluids running,

he is very miserable, but when he smelt me he lifted his head and got up
default_wub.png
he is very quiet, but was still bratty enough to try n bite me LOL I've never been more happy to receive a little nip LOL

Kylie wasn't there this arvo, and none of the other vets could talk so I will ring her tomorrow morning, Suzie is happy n I spent half an hour with her brushing her n talking to the both of them, giving her some dinner and carrots n apples!

I miss him so much

please keep praying for us... I just hate seeing him like this... I know he is in the best place, but I wish he was home, running around and playing with his ball, lying on my lap and trying to bite me... I miss you and love you so much Finley boo!!!!!!! and Suzie, she is the BEST mare ever! she lets them do whatever they have to, she knows they are helping her baby n that she can help to by being a good girl, n she is being the best girl!!! I will have to restart her diet! as I think she has hay pretty much 24/7 with her, but it keeps her calm... so it can't be helped.

Thank you for all your love n support I wish I could hug you all!! though I would probably cry all over you all LOL

I didn't sleep well last night so kept saying extra prayers each time I woke. This morning I rushed to the laptop at 5.30am to catch any updates!

Awww bless him, he does look a bit miz doesn't he, but he will be feeling a bit off with all the treatment I expect. Still it is all for his own good and he will soon be all better again and home safe and sound.

Praying really hard for you and Finn, Cassie! Like Anna, I couldn't sleep well last night and prayed each time I woke up for the little guy.

Really hope he improves. He does look miserable. The picture of you scratching him just melts my heart. So cute.
 
Thanks everyone, I'm about to ring the vets now n get an update i know he is in the bet place
default_smile.png
especially with the heat today lad they have air conditioning
biggrin.gif
Will post an update once I hear back from the vets I might start a forum on the main page too... To see if anyone has any ideas of something else they could do... E.g dr Taylor n it's always nice to have the extra love , prayers n support. Thank you everyone! I'm sure my little warrior will get through this!!
 
Just spoke to the vet,

Finn is looking a little brighter this morning and was trying to lie in Suzie's feed tub ♥ he was eating a little bit of grain, but doesn't seem really interested in mumma's milk yet... they will keep him on the catheter until he drinks, so the sooner he drinks the sooner we are to getting them both home, he still has diarrhea, but hopefully eating will get things happening better!

Thankyou for your continued prayer and support! God is getting my little man better! we honestly thought he wouldn't live this long, so THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!
