Today, I call the dreaded call..."GunDiva, Estes is colicking, better get up here."
We don't panic about much up here. Not much at all; not even a little bout of colic. For Bill to make that call, Estes had to be in a bad way. She was and she is. This is what her poop looked like, right before she stopped pooping.
Wet kitty litter. That's what it looks like.
Vet came, tubed her, gave her a ton of metamucil and some drugs. Compass had already given her banamine. The vibe I got from the vet was that he didn't think she'd make it through the night (not that he said that). I don't know. I was cautiously optimistic earlier today, but as the sun goes down and she's refusing water and not pooping, my spirits are flagging a bit.
Mom's posted about it over on her blog.
I'll post more, when I have more news. Until then, I'm off to stand vigil over the equine love of my life.

Praying for her. I know how precious she is.
Was hoping she was better now.
