Poor La La - there are quite a few mares who just cannot stand folk 'messing' with their babies, they just dont realise that baby needs help.

Alongside that, there are also a lot of foals who 'resent' being helped to the milk bar and give up when you try. What about a dab of kayo syrup on La La's teats? But I'm sure ou vet will be trying everything to help pull your little colt through.

Still offering prayers and sending ((((HUGS))))

Checking in to see if there's another update. I agree with Diane and the rest of the girls, the sucking reflex is a great sign. Keep going little guy!!!

just got back from hospital. The colt 'appears' normal now...doing all the normal stuff except nursing! I was so relieved to see that. It was 'feeding time' when we were there and the vets and staff did everything just as I would have wanted. I couldn't fault them on their approach. And they are all so willing to talk with us and share information.

They have him on every 4 hours feedings wanting him to get hungry enough to really try to nurse. and he will try longer now, but he just isn't there yet. I'm not seeing anything going the wrong way so if we just keep feeding him, at some point all of the electrical connections in his brain should get hooked up.

He sure is colorful. Homozygous for tobiano I'm sure & splash white and blue eyes. I finally feel safe thinking about that now.

Thanks everyone for your concern and prayers...it works you know.

Oh, I forgot. Everyone sure respects La La. She seems to be doing pretty much ok. they are watching her closely for any problems with her.

oh that is just wonderful news, if we all keep praying I am sure he will pull through. Hugs coming your way.

Sounds like good news! Hopefully, things will 'click' and he will start nursing on his own. Fingers crossed for him and La La!

 

[bannerminis]

Thats excellent news and will keep praying that he keeps moving forward and nails the milk bar

 

[AnnaC]

Oh that is great news let's hope he will soon get the hang of feeding on his own. I'm so glad they are keeping a close eye on La La too.

Still saying prayers for a full snd speedy recovery.

 

[palsminihorses]

Any news about your foal, Charlotte? I hope he's doing better.

 

[Eagle]

I am still

praying that the little man will soon be feeding alone.
