Cris, i am glad you managed to get the vet sorted and Flower is getting the right medicine.

Sticky Maddie says she is up for another night keeping you awake and she will make sure you have you wash in the morning (she has pleaded with me to send a goody bag with her today so i have included some bones for maddie and a cream cake for you).

Cris I am bringing the cream cakes with me so shove over on the arm chair and i will be there soon we can take it in turns to keep am eye on Flower.

Seriously cris we are all there with you in spirit willing you along and willing Flower to get better.
Do you know it is going to be a colt now then?

Sending hugs and maddie send extra special Kisses to keep you going( she would give them to you herself but she is up with Sticky already)

Love Tracey and Maddie.

Hi Cris,
Wow you have got your juggling hat on there. I am truly amazed that you have managed to only be at zombie!!! I wish the owner could chip in more time for you. Poor Flower she has really gone through it, I do hope the ab’s work quickly and she will be able to feed her little’ un when he arrives.
Fingers crossed tonight will the last night you are on call.
Hugs as always,
Lv, Ix

Oh Cris :shock:

Just calling in on half hour foal watch duty with you and keeping my fingers firmly crossed. How frustrating to need the vet and not be able to do much without the owners permission last night!. Oh I do so wish she was yours too.

You have, and are doing ALL you can as you always do all for your charges and are prepared with the colostrum and milk so take heart.
I know you will be several notches below at the minute but I am thinking of you and hoping it all goes well.

Much love and healing to you all. ((( ))))

Evening all - Wonky calling in as PA for Cris, who is otherwise enaged :roll: :roll: :roll:

As you can see, it's a tad late/early so I'm afraid I haven't read all the posts first. Please bear with Cris, as I daren't put into print just how little sleep she's had just lately, and well she's not likely to get too much in the next 24 I fear :eek:


Cris asked me to let you all know the following.

She's so tired she can't see to post, but Flower is brighter today, and has picked up a lot since the vet visited.

The foal is still moving about but not showing signs of coming out. Cris's back won't shut up, and that means that Miss L Legs, Tracey, Sticky and Maddie are doing duties tonight including the new duty of pointing the drunk-walking zombie from door to mare and back to the door

Oh and Cris has got the colostrum and the powdered milk all arranged too!

To be honest I don't know how she's doing it, and I think she could do with all the supplies of energy, cope and keep-awake potion we can all muster ...... not to mention volunteers for the 2-hourly feeds which will be needed once the foal appears :shock:

Thanks on her behalf for all the messages of support, but please understand if the PMs remain unanswered for a while and her posts are not so frequent.

hugs to you all
WOnky

H Wonky and thanks for helping me to keep awake xxx

Long night and not a good outcome but it nearly was.......

For so many reasons the foal didn't make it.

Least she is up and ok though still in 3rd stage so not looking brilliant just now.

I am just waiting for her to completely cleanse and then phone her owner before going to bed with no alarm set!

You all take care and sorry its not a happier post. Cris xx

Hi Cris

I am so very very sad :sad:

......and am hoping that you are resting just now and that Flower is feeling ok healthwise at least.

I KNOW that what happened is no reflection on you even though you feel so upset about loosing the foal.

Can l just say that no mare could have receieved better care anywhere than Flower did last night.

Love

Me too, love. Look after yourself now. You need rest. And thanks for involving us all.

annie_mial

Oh maid, I am so sorry! I hope you are having a damn good sleep and that Flower is recovering well. I can only echo what all the others have said - she could not have had better help and support wherever she was.

There will be others of course, but each one lost takes away a little of us each time.
