No change in Lucy's status. Small amount of mushy manure this afternoon but not what we'd hoped. Plan for tonight is to let her be, give banamine to help her fell more comfortable and hope she passes something overnight. She was tubed again amd with the gas forming in her belly she looks pregnant! SHe's also holding up the wall again - remember how she spent all her time in one corner last year before she foaled Legz?
Speaking of Legz, she's not eating well with mama gone. I enticed her with beet pulp and green grass. SHe perked up a bit so we'll do the same tomorrow morning. At least Legz has Mars on the other side of the fence to keep her company.
Thank you for the prayers and kind thoughts.

This morning Lucy was very bright-eyed. She was allowed in the round pen to graze and seemed very happy and much better. The vet said she could probably go home later in the day. Unfortunately, by 1pm she was back feeling uncomfortable although she was urinating and passing manure. She's too unstable to make the long drive to Tuft's. So we wait some more. SHe's being kept comfortable and everyone at work is checking on her.

Oh no.. my poor little Lucy. She is one of my absolute favorite mares on Mare Stare. You, Chelsea, Lucy, Legs, Fiona (and your new guy.. can't remember his name right now) are ALL in my prayers. Good luck.. I'm praying for everything to turn out okay!

Lucy was perky again this morning and ready to graze. Her gums are pale, however, so we were going to take her to Tufts to get an x-ray. SHe's strong enough to make the trip now. Unfortunately, their ultrasound specialist isn't available until Tuesday se we have to wait. Dr. W. said he was checking on the girl today and will give fluids if needed. We'll also check on her again in the afternoon. If I'd been able to punch in on the time clock this past week for the time spent with Lucy I'd be rich!
I also emailed the rescue group from which we adopted Lucy. They will probably be able to help financially. Just to register and have and initial exam at Tufts is $360. THe x-rays would be $60 per view, the sme for the ultrasound. Sedation might be needed but I don't have that price. Because she has diarrhea (probably due to all the fluids we've been given her) she would be placed in isolation so her stay would be $100 a day. Then add the blood work, fluids, medicaitons, etc and we're looking at a hugh bill before anything is actually done to solve the problem. Does anyone want to buy Chelsea? SHe's a good worker...
Thanks for the prayers. Keep them coming. Lucy has the doctors amazed at her fortitude and I'm sure it's the prayers making the difference.
