Congrats Susan!
So, what does it mean? Was he actually collicing all this time? Was
he in a ketonic state (creates the fruity/acetone smell in people who
are ketonic), if so, does he have blood sugar issues? ?
I am so happy to hear he is back!

Dear Fjord horse list,
Many thanks to all of you who sent me advice re: Alf.
By Last thurs. there was only slight improvement in his attitude; vitals
were stable; so had the vet come out and look at him; and decided to sedate
and tube him. Tolerated everything well; no impaction on rectal still she
commented on how weird and acetone/fruity smelling his manure was. Spent the
night in with Val again; and then both were turned out in the AM with their
grazing muzzles on for 4 hours to get them re acclimated? to them again. Same
thing Sat Sun. By 5 pm this evening; my beloved buck n toot boy was once
again charging around the pasture in usual fashion; showing Diva, Jake; and
Valdemar who the prince is!
Will continue to check vitals;attitude; gut sounds feet ; etc; but I think
we have turned in the right direction. Lymes is pending; will repeat the
chemisties and CBC this week. Manure appeared normal today and yesterday.
Thanks again for being a great source of advice for the novice owner.
Susan
