Lost In The Fog has colic

I guess it is a very minor case of colic.

This was posted already, but I hope that he recovers quickly. Colic is nothing to mess with.

I never did like Tiznow so I never read that thread.

I meant Tizlater... but there goes my brain again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tizlater broke down yesterday and was later euthanized.

By the way, why didn't you like Tiznow?

BB, you can jump all over me, but poor LITF. Anyone who's worked with a horse with cancer knows it really does affect them, and something that big (which may have grown rather quickly) could certainly explain some of his performances this year...although if it doesn't, I don't really care. I just hope they take care of it and that it hasn't metastasized. Cancer in animals is so tough to detect sometimes. Here's hoping all goes well.

I'm unaware of cancer surgery in horses. Anyone ever hear of it? This is just so sad.

I'm trying to think...we had a couple of horses with cancer at our barn, but obviously in nonprofit land the treatment options are a lot more limited...I might email my vet friend to see if she knows.

This is terrible news indeed...

I hope that they caught this in time for him to at least survive.

Bold Ruler had cancer in his late teens and since he was the Storm Cat of his era, every effort was made to save him - surgery, radiation, etc. Seem to recall that the cancer was in his throat but could be wrong.

I was a student at Auburn University when they brought the great Bold Ruler to the vet school for cobalt treatments. There was a lot about him in the school paper. He had a nasal tumor just below the brain pan if I remember correctly. The treatments shrunk the tumor sufficiently to get him another stallion season before the cancer took over and he was humanely put down.

chester house also succumbed to cancer when it spread to his lungs ---I can't remember where the initial cancer was .
