Poor Popeye

He has been sick for 2 weeks, Spurts and Ulcers. Did not take to being hauled to another farm. There was a sick filly in the stall next to him, they thought it was just because Mom had alot of milk. Well guess not. His mom gets Ultrasounded today and if shes not in foal, were not breeding her back. Hes just not doing well enough to take the chance to leave the farm, and worry about them giving his meds. Bless his heart, about the time he starts to fill out a bit, it hits him again, and you just see him start to go backwards. Tummy tucks up and ribs start showing, Hes a fighter. Hes a doll, he takes all his meds and yogert like a champ. Just as soon as he gets back on his game, I'll post a updated photo of him. Hes growing, just not blooming.

poor lil feller. Prayin' for a quick recovery.

Vet just left, She is open, So, due to his health, We wont be breeding back. Theres always next year. Im just not taking any chances.

awww i hope he gets better soon

Geeze - sorry to hear that - I take it no shipped semen?

We treated ulcers in my filly and she was 100% within 2 days...

We gave her 1/4 tube of ulcerguard a day for 16 days and also gave her 150mg of Zantac dissolved in water 1x per day...
She also got biosponge the first 2 days...but she is doing great!!!!

finished treating her over a week ago and she is one happy camper...

I got my treatment from Kesmarc

I read about the ulcers a lot on this forum. I have never had this trouble... Nor do I know anyone who has... I have delt with the poos though and just kept them clean and dry.. Pepto and it passes after a few days. I find this happens when they start eating with mama. I have also delt with phenomia in weanlings after a horse show..

I hope he gets healthy soon. I will be praying for him

Thanks, he was fine when he left my barn.. NO problem, No problem with my other filly. Just caught something. Thats the chance we take with using outside studs. Sure are times I miss a stud like NOW!

I'm glad the boy's doing better... poor thing... he needs to come to Texas and run in green grass instead of couped up with snow and rain coming down faster than cats and dogs... just joshing with ya!!!!

Uh, you know, I can fix that problem you have with having no stud... HA!

Oh, thank you for your offer! BUT, No thank you. NO MORE STUDS! Hee Hee.. Im Done, I like being able to leave home and thinking who can I get to feed a stud.
