not quite. i feel bad that he didn't make it. i know you attribute their efforts to greed....i don't. they knew it was a slim chance of saving him, and they tried anyway. it's too bad more people don't do that, especially if there's a chance.

Oh.

I mistakenly thought it was colic that killed SNA and almost got Paynter.

Sorry.

Just saw it mentioned that maybe all the pain killers and antibiotics, etc., might have led to the colic. I wonder if there could be any truth to that.

Wouldn't be surprising. Too bad they don't use kratom on horses for pain.

As far as antibiotics go.....
