It is ok Stumpy, the fact that you took time to even try to help is enough.

I am trying to help this pony and I dont know if she is going to make it, I am frightened and it is a very difficult situation to address.

I basically just wanted some prayers, I just feel so alone with this. This is hard for me, I am a mush and I just want to do right by this little pony that depends on ME for her well being.

Horses and ponies cannot throw up like dogs and other animals and humans. So, if there is something that is preventing the pony from getting food out of her stomach to digestion it can be dangerous to just add more. Typically one of the procedures is to pump mineral oil and water into the stomach so that if there is constipation that could help soften up the stool so that it can move just like in humans. If there is constipation it would also present gas so another thing to try is administering something that can help discipate the gas that can build up.

Unfortunately there could be many different reasons for a horse to present colic (upset stomach digestive issues)so it can be extremely frustrating to treat. And the pain can be so disturbing that they can lay down and thrash around which can twist thier gut and make it even worse. So, it is very important to keep a vigial and try to make sure that the pain is managed.

I am trying to do just that and right now I am also trying to feed her via syringe with a very watery
food to see if I can give her nourishment gently and see if I can help her regain function in her digestion. And it is somewhat guess work and a lot of hoping and praying that what I am doing isn't going to aggrivate her system even more. And I have to walk her as well which can encourage gas release and motion in her system. Constant monitoring is a must, one cannot just medicate and walk away, it is a very draining process.

I am praying that what I do works and I can get her resolved, however there is a lot of unknowns.
I am also praying that I can get her stable so I can do a job tomarrow as I need the money desperately.
I am praying that she doesn't take a turn for the worse and I have to address that along with trying to do the job.

It is a very stressful situation and I don't handle stress very well right now. I am trying my best.
