Temp got up to 106 and pulse 80 - just before he left for the vet. I spoke with Peggy Fleming DVM a classical homeopath and she suggested two remedies - one which I had. His temp was down to 104.8 within an hour of receiving the remedy.
He is now at the vet, they did an ultra sound as they thought he could have peritonitis (sp??) and then did a belly tap and have done a culture on the fluid. I have another remedy to get to him. He is on IV fluids and antibiotics. When I have a sick horse I call in all options to help and have had some incredible results with homeopathy when all else had failed. I don't want to leave any possibility untried. The vet was supposed to call before 7:00 - if I don't hear I will call. Thanks for your thoughts, the other horse is still not 100% - but has passed the oil so unlikely he has an obstruction. He is not wanting to eat but not lying down or distressed seeming. Will have acupuncture on him tomorrow. Robyn
