He is still in surgery, but LoPresti called to say it's the best case scenario for colic, nothing had to be resected" (cont) (cont): "If he recovers from it well, they're thinking 6 or 8 weeks off at the most," said LoPresti, added this shouldn't be career-ending

"He had a routine gallop, trained great this morning, and about an hour after training he started acting like he was uncomfortable in the stall," the trainer explained. "We medicated him and he didn't respond. Once we got him over to Rood & Riddle, they ultrasounded him and the vet saw a piece of small intestine he didn't like." The 7-year-old Wiseman's Ferry gelding did not respond to attempts to ease the issue naturally. "We got him out on the lunge rein and tried to jog him around and he didn't work out of it," LoPresti said. While Wise Dan was still in surgery, LoPresti called the issue "the best-case scenario for colic" after Hopper was able to investigate. "From what I gather, he's got a piece of small intestine that flipped the wrong way," LoPresti said. "If we didn't go in there and do it, he would have lost blood supply and it would have been a bad scenario; the only way to fix it was to do it this way." Hopper expects Wise Dan to spend about 6-8 weeks on the sidelines at the most, but the incident should not prevent him from coming back to run again as long as he progresses well through recovery. "He's going to have to show me that he's okay, but I don't think it's career-ending," LoPresti said Read more on BloodHorse.com: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...#ixzz31tVgP0ol
