I spoke with the doctor yesterday afternoon (Mon.) they took an x-ray of her leg and it doesn't appear that the infection is in the bone. :aktion033: He that I made the right decision to go head and have Meagan treated. He said that he may have been a bit zealous in suggesting as one of the options to have her put down. She does have a couple of abcesses that they drained and flushed. He said that it looked like she would be able to come home for a week on Wednesday. I would, of course, have to treat her with antibiotics. I was elated at the news! It is going to cost me a bundle, but knowing that she will be alright is worth every penny to me. Your thoughts and prayers for my little Meagan really worked! Thanks so much!

NEW UPDATE THIS MORNING: As I was driving to work this morning the Doctor called me and said that they had a "mishap" occur during the night! Meagan's leg started to bleed and she lost a considerable amount of blood and was weak! :new_shocked: They gave her a tranfusion and she is under oxygen! Poor little baby!!!! :no: The doctor believes that the abcesses may have weakened the walls of the blood vessels in her leg. It didn't start bleeding until hours after they had flushed her leg. So now, they will watch her closely for the next 24 hrs.

[SIZE=12pt]PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP LITTLE MEAGAN IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS! [/SIZE]

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY HELPED HER EARLIER.

P.S. The other news the Dr. reported, which is almost humorous, was that Meagan's mother escaped from her stall and busted thru the ICU doors and broke them! (She left Meagan in the stall). I guess once she got out and went down the hall she paniced realizing that her foal was not with her. So, not sure where she thought she was going. Of course, he said that I wouldn't be responsible for that! I bet there will be some serious butt chewing going on this morning! :nono: :nono: :nono: :new_2gunsfiring_v1: :new_argue:

Oh poor Meagan =( I was reading that first part and was so excited she would be coming home for a week and now her poor leg....is she still going to be ok? I mean, more bills and more immediate surgury care but...is she still going to be ok with some healing time?

Boy that mom, I bet she's trying to give the vets a good ole one-two just for funs sake =) Glad to know mom is in good spirits!

My prayers are with you for little Meagan

Oh Karin...what a rollercoaster ride for you!! I too was reading the first part and was smiling then read the next part and my heart dropped. Of course we'll continue with the positive thoughts and prayers....please keep us posted!!!
 
Oh no, just when things were sounding so good! I hope dear little Meagan will be OK. She's been a fighter all along....she won't stop now! Sending prayers! I had to laugh though when I read about her mama's adventure! LOL!!! :bgrin
 
Minihoofbeats - They are going to keep a close eye on her for the next 24hrs. Since they gave her blood the doctor said it is good for about 2 - 3 days and hopefully she will start making her own blood. It is a possibility that they may have to transfuse her again. As far as her leg goes, it sounds positive.
 
Sounds like the angels were with you and your baby when you made the decision to take her to the hospital.Good place for her to be until she is out of the woods.Keep us posted about her progress.
 
Prayers and Positive thoughts going out to little Meagan!!

Oh poor baby. Here when I started reading your post I was so ready to be happy. It still sounds like she'll be okay though. We'll keep her in our prayers. I bet momma was just bustin out to go find help cause Meagan was needing attention! Good girl, keep them doctors on their toes.
 
Hadn't read about Megan earlier but sending best wishes for a full & rapid recovery. Heartbreaking to watch the little ones suffer.
 
Hang in there Meagan! Sounds like she's a fighter. I'm keeping her in my prayers!
 
OH GOSH!!!! The doctor just called (12:30 pm), the news is not good! :no: He said Meagan crashed! They had to resuscitate her and are doing everything they can to keep her alive. He will call me if they lose her. If I don't hear from him, that means he is doing everything to try and save her. It seems that the infection has really done a number on her blood vessels in her leg. What a roller coaster!!! My heart is in my throat and I am fighting back the tears. Poor little Meagan, she has been such a fighter.

: I know they will do everything they can for her. This is sooo hard to go through. Yesterday I had to have Jack, my cocker spaniel, that I've had for about 9 years put to sleep. Now this! GOD PLEASE HELP LITTLE MEGAN!!!!!
