Experiences with colon displacement?
Hey everyone, it's 2 am where I am right now. My horse began colicking at 8 am this morning and by 1pm I had him at UC Davis. After a rectal exam and an ultrasound it was determined that his colon was displaced. They began him on fluids and put him in the ICU.
He was getting better for a few hours but just now they called saying that the safest option right now is surgery since no amount of sedation is making him comfortable.
I believe it is a left dorsal displacement, it's not twisted or anything but still very much not a good thing. I've had my other horse colic a few times before, never this severe though and I am obviously freaking out pretty badly.
I just wanted to know if anyone on this sub has gone through this or known anyone that's gone through this and can gave me advice on what to expect...
