Update:
Nellie DID NOT receive a tranquilizer this time.
The vet did a rectal and there is a mass that he could not push over. He oiled her and gave her metamucil. We are now to watch and hope that whatever is there comes out.
The vet stated this potentially could be a stone; this is worst case. If it is a stone, she will not pass it and surgery is an option. However, he stated we are looking at in excess of 8-10K.
We also do not know how far along the foal is for sure. All we can do at this point is pray and hope it is not a stone. I wish I had better news and hope that nature takes its course for the GOOD.
