We thank everyone for their continued purrs for Snap.
Meowmy went out this afternoon hoping to find her chipper and found her lying in the field. Her gums were dry and didn't have good capilary reaction. Meowmy called the vet right away and walked her until he got there.
This time the poop that came out of her was rock hard and had the vet not very happy. He put a big long tube up her nostril into her stomach and pumped mineral oil and water. Then he gave her 2 more of the shots he gave her last night. He told Meowmy to feed her some nice green grass and if she wasn't herself by 6 or 7 call him back again.
After a harrowing trip to Villanova to return a computer that HAD to be returned today they returned to the barn (she was being cared for by Jess while they were gone) and searched fruitlessly to find Snap some bran mash. Luckily Jess had one serving for her. Snap looks much better but still hasn't pooped in her stall this evening yet. Jess's boyfriend is checking on her when he gets back from Penn National racetrack late tonight.
Meowmy will head back out there dark and early to check on her again. This is really rough on Meowmy so I've been having to sit on her and purr a lot too. Thank you so much for the continued purrs. We'll keep you posted.

We are keeping all of our paws (and #1's fingers) crossed that Snap settles down soon and returns to good health. Seeing anyone suffer is tough but we think horses have a particularly tough time. We're rooting for you, Snap!

Poor Snap (and your Meowmie too) I hope the drench the vet gave her works, mineral oil can be really effective. We will send some sub- sonic rumbly purrs to help loosen everything up inside Snap.

PS: Mum remembered that Slippery Elm in bran mash sometimes helps, but ask the vet first as she last used this a long, long time ago and treatments might be very different now. Best of luck!
Oh I hope Snap feels better today!
We want this to be a really good new day for Snap (and all of you)... we want her much much better today, and we're purring hard that will happen.
Oh no! We are sorry to hear Snap still has colic. We thought she was over the worst yesterday. Does she like peppermints? Sometimes that can help ease trapped wind. We hope you can get hold of some bran, because a nice warm bran mash is the best thing.
We're purraying that Snap will feel better real soon!
Oh goodness! We just found out about Snap and her colic! We are sending tons of purrs and purrayers and poop easing wind your way! Get it all out Snap!
