She’s so SASSY!

As many of you may be unaware of Sassy’s history, I thought I should share her story. When Sassy first came to Beauty’s Haven in 2020, she had been colicing for days, so we took her straight to UF. They had to perform surgery in order to remove a blockage which can leave scar tissue, which, in turn, can lead to recurrent colic. The top image above shows us as we made our way home from UF in 2020.

Everything about Sassy is quite small – she only weighs a mere 161 pounds. So, we naturally became quite concerned this past Friday when our little girl experienced a tummy ache. While her temperature remained normal and she did have gut sounds, she still had not had a bowel movement.

Although she appeared to feel a bit better by the afternoon, Sassy still had not passed manure, so we immediately headed to the Equine Medical Center of Ocala.

Once there, tests revealed her bloodwork was normal and she was not dehydrated. Sassy’s ultrasound did show some fecal matter, but there was no indication of sand or an impaction being present, so fluids were run throughout the night.

When I visited Sassy on Saturday, she was not at all a happy camper about being in the hospital! She was also unhappy that I could not give her any treats. She was still hooked up to her IV drip and she was now, thankfully, passing some manure. She was also started on a feeding program.

We were able to bring her back to the rescue on Sunday, where she soon was back to being her little Sassy Pants self!
