Re: My Horse Dixie
The woman's other horses all look in pretty poor condition. She doesn't worm her horses regularly and she doesn't vaccinate regularly, if at all.. If I had known that prior to moving Dixie, I would have NEVER moved her.
Dixie was also being boarded there(not a barn, just a field without any shelter, about 15 miles away) for 2 months. She had maintained her weight at the previous place for over a year and had been fine(1200lbs, plus or minus a few lbs here and there).
It also doesn't take 2 months for intestines to die. She hadn't shown signs of colic or discomfort for the 1.5 weeks she was at the new barn(5 miles away). She started showing discomfort that Wednesday late afternoon and passed the next afternoon. She was also passing waste the entire time she was there, minus those last 2 days. She had also started to fill in just slightly, be it just being well-hydrated or actually being fed decent food. Unless she had some sort of fast moving cancer, which I highly doubt, then I am just suspecting that the dumb woman didn't feed her and didn't worm her properly. My vet says the clots just happen sometimes and her condition didn't help. There wasn't anything we could have done anyway.
