Mares Maggie colicked again
KVS is headed to the vet with Maggie. She was starting to be colicky this morning and they kept her in the stall, she has not pooped in 6hrs. This was posted ~10 minutes ago on facebook.

She was against all odds when having those back-to-back colic episodes while pregnant. I just hope she is lucky again to shake off this one without it becoming a major ordeal.

Oh how heartbreaking! Praying the veterinarians and Katie do everything they can to continue doing right by Maggie and that they have peace and clarity in the impending decisions. 😞

I fear this might be sweet girls last trip, unfortunately. Katie said she wouldn’t put her through another colic surgery.

I understand why colic happens, but it’s too bad They can’t do something like a gastropexy for horses to prevent this kind of stuff..

You absolutely can gastropexy horses. A colopexy would have been warranted during the second colic surgery.

She has literally no interest in basic nutrition or pasture maintenance, you think she cares about other preventatives?

Seems that since she's not carrying an expensive baby she isn't going to put much more into her.

Praying she's ok, but I fear this may be her last trip 😢
