Itβs been a very full season here at Miniature Horse Power - lots of travel, heartwarming visits, and memorable moments with our tiny "therapists."
But whewβ¦ the past summerβs heat really took its toll on us farmers (even *mini* farmers!), and I had very little time or energy left for posting. Thanks for sticking with me! π
Now for an update on one very special little guy: Chiron recently spent a day at VetMed for some diagnostic testing - including abdominal radiographs and ultrasounds - to investigate a few recurring mild colic episodes heβd been having.
Colic is super common in horses and often mild, but it can also become serious or even life-threatening. Even though Chiron had been improving with some gentle, natural gut-support supplements, I wasnβt willing to take *any* chances on missing a potentially dangerous cause like an enterolith or fecalith.
πππ The good news: His imaging came back clear - no obstructions, no scary surprises. Huge sigh of relief! The vet agreed the supplements are likely helping, andβ¦
πππ Even better news: Chiron hasnβt had any recurring symptoms since. Heβs feeling fantastic!
Weβll be doing a few additional tests to get a fuller picture of his health, but the most important part is: his tummy is happy and healthy.
Hereβs a little clip of him clip-clopping his way to the radiology suite - Go, Chiron! π«
