Ickle Conker <3

Oooo Lavender.

I will keep my hooves crossed for Conker.

Come on Conker!!!!

<3

Hope Conker makes it xx

is it a sort of bowel blockage or in his stomach or intestines

is there some jollop he can be given to clear him through ?

guess though the vet would have done that already if its a possible

Come on Conker get it moving mate !!!

COME ON CONKER you can do this xx :-D :-D

Aaw love his name.

Thank you so much. I can't believe he's so poorly looking at him now.

We are going to ask for another painkiller tomorrow and give him a bit longer unless it's obvious tomorrow that he won't make it.

It is possible for a pony to visit an equine centre and be sedated and tube fed but it's a very costly procedure. I'm not putting him through all that, he's only used to being on the farm. It's a tough decision, but fortunately he doesn't belong to a child so we don't have that to add to the equation.

Hoping it won't happen and then we won't be left with his little friend, it would mean either finding a home for him or getting another little one. Don't want to be thinking about that yet whilst he's still out there enjoying the grass. <3

Come on Conker!

I hope all goes well, for the wee fella,Lavender

poor lad hope he picks up :-(

I will have my fingers crossed for him
Colic is a serious thing for a horse /pony

My heart goes out to you :-( :-( :-(

Fingers crossed for him and for you. Poor lad, hope he picks up now. <3 <3

Our two miniature Shetland ponies have kept really well over the years..

However, the last three days our chestnut lad has the colic. He's about 20 years, we've had him since a foal.

The vet has visited three times with his painkiller jabs. He had barely had a mouthful of anything the last few days and has lost much condition. He's normally a typical well-rounded boy.

This morning the decision was made to give him until tomorrow. The vet said he hasn't a twisted gut but more a blockage. The jab has picked him up and under instruction we've turned him into the field. We were surprised he's been grazing and even drunk water from a bucket.

Keeping everything crossed that the grass will push it's way through and a miracle will happen. It's good to see him enjoying the afternoon somewhat, but hoping it's not his last supper.

Had a good cry but still hoping.
