Danielle's horse

Danielle's horse, Ty, colicked badly Thursday. She spent all day with Dr. Robbins and putting fluids into him via IV drip line - which Danielle manned. But Ty was still feeling pain. So in the evening, they took him to Bandera to the Equine Clinic with Dr. Nightingale. An overnight stay and more fluids and lots of attention and he seems to be okay now.
Turns out he had 2 very large masses in his gut. The size of basketballs! Where does he put it? Those are gone now, and he's to be on a very special diet from now on.
SO GLAD he's pulled thru!
