Paynter back in clinic; Colitis diagnosed..

What a garbled mess. That's why people shouldn't use twitter...especially for medical news.

There is far too much room to misunderstand what he's saying and his intent.

Those assorted tweets make me wonder how much insurance is on the horse.

I'm seeing it the opposite way, Coachie.

I'm not on Twitter or FB but I'll look at certain stuff...

I don't pay too much attention to owners... I really don't know anything about the Zayats at all but I think they're pretty amazing.

It's extraordinary that they would repeatedly break away becaue they know that people who are simply fans are concerned... that they would not only break away but tell us their most personal thoughts.

I have nothing but admiration for the way they are handling things and i hope this poor horse makes it of course but it really is not sounding good. They won't let him suffer and that decision, if it has to be made, shows the ultimate kind of love. The selfless kind.

They seem like very decent people and I wish them the best.

Well...

I'm interested in how all of this is going to play out. From what I've read it could get real interesting...or at least has the potential.

Quite frankly Medicaid keeps people with illnesses living longer than this nonsense.

I'm amazed as to how they actually know how much pain the horse is in and how death would totally be a better option for the horse than pain.

I hope the horse has more than 10 days(?) to recover. Because right now it's feeling like a metaphorical strike count. 3 bad days and you're out.

"Depressing" is all I have to say.
