Best wishes for your mare, Mintano. I hope you will soon be able to post a photo of your mare, happy and healthy, and nursing her good-looking son.

I am haunted by the fact that I will never know what sort of chestnut bling Tapit has hiding under all that grey.Sparrow Castle wrote:DJFiske @DJFiske

Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

Special Me (dam of Stonetastic, Gift Box, ect) foaled out a Speightstown filly at the decent hour of 11:45p.m. on Saturday night. I turned my head away from the stall for 10 seconds to talk to the other person in the barn less than 20 minutes after she was born, looked back and she had already gotten to her feet. The freaky filly (in a good way) was up on the first try and never fell or stumbled when she started walking. Hopefully she lives up to what her siblings have been doing on the track.

The registered white mare, Packed Powder (The White Fox x Ms Icingonthecake, by Marquetry) had a white colt by Get Stormy (I think on 4/25).

Thanks all, unfortunately things aren't looking very good after today.
Monday morning, a few hours after she foaled she started acting colicky and started shaking. Luckily the farm she's at also has a clinic and her owner is the veterinarian, and he only lives a half mile down the road. I called him when she started acting NQR and when he checked her out things got grim pretty quick, she had a tear of the uterine artery. Seemed like the bleed was slow and she wasn't extremely painful which was a good sign. Started her on supportive care to hopefully get the problem area to clot and she was looking good and eating well.
Tuesday morning when I got in she looked great, bright and eating. Two hours later she was shaking and soaked in sweat and had spiked a fever, developed peritonitis despite our best efforts. We got more aggressive with treatment and despite the fact that the prognosis had become more dire she was eating like a champ and was feeling good. During the night things took a turn and her fever spiked and her milk production started going down.
This morning she was acting quite depressed, the first time she's really looked down since she first got ill. Her milk all but dried up so we had to acquire a nurse mare for her colt, he wanted nothing to do with milk replacer. He probably would give in eventually but it's much better having the real thing, and a mother figure as well. The nurse mare arrived this afternoon and allowed him to nurse right away which is a good sign, and he was starving! Hopefully she'll accept him and form a bond. The colt is the nicest little guy, very friendly and full of personality. Hopefully we can take them out tomorrow and let her handgraze and him stretch his legs a bit, poor things been stuck in a stall since he was born.
Mom is hanging in there. It was tough taking her foal away, you hate stressing her out which she doesn't need while fighting for her life, but at the same time the foals not getting any nutrition and if she goes downhill suddenly you don't want her to go down on top of him. We tranq'd her before we did it and she handled it well, she was still pretty lethargic when we took him away but when she came out of the tranquilizer she perked up and started picking at her hay. Also started crying a little for her foal which was hard to listen to but hopefully without having him trying to nurse she may be able to relax and recover better. Still has a high fever but hasn't yet given the impression that she's ready to give up. She's shown herself to be a very tough girl, for as sick as she is you wouldn't know it.
Really hoping I can give you guys a good update tomorrow and thanks for thinking of us!

Thank you for taking the time to update us in the middle of such a difficult situation. Best wishes to the mare, and that her colt prospers, even if he had to change moms.

Have a happy update for everyone (and sorry for basically hijacking this thread)!
The nursemare and foal are doing great. We took her out to handgraze a few times today and he got to run around like a nut. She is a great mare, tolerated him from the minute we introduced them and by this afternoon she nickered to him when we took them out for grass and pulls her hay over wherever he's laying in the stall so she can eat with him. Tomorrow they'll go out in a small grass paddock under supervision but it looks like they've connected!
Best news of they day, mom definitely has improved! By 10AM this morning her temperature returned to normal and her heart rate started going down. In the afternoon she visibly perked up and was munching hay again and had a little bit of grain. She very happily took a peppermint from me and proceeded to harass me for more.
One concern we have now is laminitis. At the end of the day when I went to change her bandages (I also work as a vet-tech at the clinic she's at) I noticed her right front was warm and there was a signifigant pulse. Up until then all her feet have been ice cold and at that point all her other feet were still so. The hope is that it's cellulitis which she's had in the past, the whole limb was warm and was a bit swollen which isn't consistent with laminitis. Just to be careful we immediately had her in ice.
I just got a report from the night crew and her vitals are holding consistent, she's munching away on hay and all her feet are cold again which is a good sign! It's looking like if she keeps progressing well and makes it to day 5 that will be a big step toward recovery.
Very happy to be able to give you guys a good update and thank you again for thinking of her!
I'll leave you with a picture of mom (Lily) that I found from last summer so you can put a face to the name and a video of her colt (Percy) very much enjoying his bit of freedom today;

Great news, and I hope she recovers completely.
We need one of those 'dancing banana' emoji's, or something like that.
