Monarchos

Wow. Fingers crossed for Monarchos. He's got an inoperable blockage, but has been in recovery despite a slight setback. They seem cautiously optimistic, but the word "inoperable" is never good. What makes blockages inoperable and (*scientific term alert*) are they essentially trying to flush his out with the equivalent of horse-draino?

Guessing: he's having problems getting intestines going again, functioning normally, post-surgery. Could be he was operated on for blockage (does say he was bandaged), but now the post-surgical or blockage-associated ileus (intestines not moving normally, not pushing stuff through the GI tract) needs to be resolved - if intestines not moving stuff just pools, refluxes, toxins build up, blood supply can be compromised, not good. No, there is no "draino" drug or oral fluid - that would harm intestinal lining, so not a thing to do. You treat inoperable blockages with keeping animal well-hydrated, fluids, attempt to draw fluid into intraluminal intestinal space via osmosis/drugs, avoiding drugs that decrease motility, etc. I always liked this guy, visited with him a lot when he was at Claiborne. Has a left front foot that turns out slightly, so stamp of "him", beautiful horse.

i'm trying to find something, no luck so far. i know nuckols has a facebook page, but i'm not signed up with that, so i doubt i can view that. trying to find a website for the farm now.
no luck. well, they say no news is good news, so here's hoping. also concerned since this isn't his first colic surgery...fingers crossed.

Saw on DRF that he returned to Nuckols Farm Saturday. On a special diet but doing well.
