Greygoat (BTW, great handle!)

I think I found out what happened. Found this on The Horse.com in an article called "Colic in Broodmares: Special Considerations"

Colonic Displacements and Torsions

"Broodmares are especially at risk of developing large colon displacements and torsions, especially in the first 100 days post-foaling," Mair said. This is believed to be due to the increased space within the abdomen that arises following the birth of the foal; the increased space allows the large colon to move and sometimes twist.

This ailment yields different degrees of colic-related clinical signs associated with the degree of displacement or torsion in the large colon, Mair explained: "A large colon volvulus (twist) will present as a violently painful colic, often with a very high heart rate (60-100 beats per minute), whereas a simple colonic displacement (without a twist) may present with mild to moderate signs of colic with a relatively normal heart rate."

He noted prompt surgical correction of the displacement is necessary in most cases: "The prognosis for mares with large colon volvulus is poor. Surgery needs to be undertaken rapidly if the mare is going to have any chance of surviving. The outlook for mares with simple displacements of the large colon (without a twist) is much better, and most affected mares will survive following surgical correction."

So if I were to find fault in what we did it was having her bred. Well, pretty hard to have a broodmare and not breed her. We got her into surgery around 12 hours after we saw the first signs of colic. Was not fast enough to save her, the colon had already been too damaged.

Dave2 - we have a yearling colt 1/2 brother ("A brutha from a different mutha") from same stud. He is just 2 and is helping a lot. He is gelded and easy going. Just need to get the foal to stop trying to suck on him :oops:

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS ... [Read Article]
