Paynter back in clinic; Colitis diagnosed..
they say it's a recurrence of the previous illness. fever, diarhea. taking in fluids, etc. they said the fever has come down. so, sounds to me that the original illness was a bit more serious than they first said. and not a good sign that it's back. i doubt the pa derby is doable now.

I think right now they are hoping tomorrow is doable. Collitis is a very serious illness, usually fatal.

yeah, went to drf site to see if there was more, and i see it's colitis. that's awful, sorry to hear it.
hoping for the best...said he's stable, but no real improvement. and the vet said he's worried to death, and mentioned the fear of founder.

Paynter found to have colitis; vet expresses great concern
By Jay Privman Paynter on Tuesday night was described as being seriously ill by Dr. Mark Cheney, the respected equine veterinarian who is overseeing his treatment, who said the Haskell Invitational winner has colitis - an inflammation of the colon - and that a principle concern now is also founder. "I'm worried to death," Cheney said in a telephone interview. "You've got to keep your fingers crossed. Just hope and pray."

yeah, for whatever reason (i don't think they've found why yet) stomach ailments such as colic and colitis have a connection to developing laminitis. i'm just hoping all ends well for him.
i don't know that there's been a crop of horses as star-crossed as this one. it's unreal.

I was looking up some things about colitis and it was suggested that Swale actually may've suffered from that, but it sure sounds like he was struck more suddenly than Landaluce or Paynter. Would the effects occur that soon? You could gallop and then drop dead within 30 minutes? I'd always thought it was a heart attack, but apparently the autopsy didn't indicate heart damage.

With Swale, if that's what he had, the gallop didn't give him the colitis, but would have exacerbated it quickly and fatally. FYI there are "heart attacks" that are caused by arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) that are not detectable on autopsy.

Colon in horse relatively much physically larger part of digestive system, horse colon has additional different functions than human (ferment substrates). So "inflammation of the colon" (= colitis) not the same impact in omnivore vs herbivore due to vastly different colons.

There was an accident that caused his death while he was being bathed.
I have been told this by more than one party, and all would be considered 'insiders'.

Hoping this is a good sign. Fingers crossed for Paynter.

Ahmed Zayat just tweeted this: "Paynter update.; just got this from Dr. Javsicas "he is eating fresh grass and more playful " whatever works!"
 For anybody on Twitter (I think you can see her tweets even if you're not) there's a crazy lady @getdownwolfie aka Gina Powell who's throwing around accusations of conspiracy to hide things about Paynter (she claimed earlier that he was dead and wanted them to show photographic proof he wasn't), she's raging to PETA and she's told Joe Drape "Please Joe follow the story on PAYNTER who is sick! You can provide an unbiased view unlike mainstream racing media!" followed by " There is a clearly stated rule that the NYRC should have invoked against Bob Baffert trainer of PAYNTER. Care and Custodial rule!" If you're on Twitter, this lady's clearly spamming it up with PETA nonsense. I reported her for spam and I suggest others do the same so we can at least get her temporarily suspended. It's one thing to have an opinion, but she's firing off constant crazy lies from rays that clearly went right through her aluminum hat.
