Breeze trotted in nickering for her dinner tonight. She appears to be back to her normal self. She even tried to bully Bullet out of his feed pan
We are adding some corn oil to her feed to help "lube" her gut a little, so hopefully that will keep these incidents down as well. She will also be fed 3 times a day when we can manage it.. that is supposed to keep ulcers from flaring up.
She has pretty awful teeth, and if she was impacted, I would guess it was from not chewing the hay well enough. We will be switching her to soaked hay cubes this coming weekend to see if that helps too.

Did they check her manure for sand?
Yup, no sand. Thanks Dr. Betty!!!
Hopefully, the rest of the night will go well!!! I will keep you all posted on her progress.
Kelly I just now read this thread! I am so glad to hear Breeze is doing better, how scary that must have been.
You have had her such a long time, what a special bond you both must have with each other.
In all seriousness, maybe she needs some "Drift therapy"
But it sounds like you had a special talk with your girl Breeze and she came around!
You have a very special touch and a way with your animals, I am sure they all can feel it and know how lucky they are to have you for their owner.
Sending you a heartfelt message of support, and wishing Breeze continued improvement.

What a horrible weekend for you!
I do hope and pray that Breeze remains in good spirits and health for a good while longer.
(Thanks for the memories of my old horse - he was a chronic health issue with a tremendous sense of humor. He has been long missed, but I wouldn't trade any of my time with him for the world. You brought yet another smile to my face - thank you, and thank Breeze.)
I'm thinking you are up here in Siberia .... If so, not drinking water well gets to be a huge deal in these older horses and leads to impaction. Bran mash is a classic for this problem, though it is a huge mess to feed and not all horses like it. The bran mash is 1/3 bran which you cover with 3x the bran amount with hot water, cover with a towel and let it sit until all the bran is absorbed. Ask your vet if they recommend that. I used it a lot in old colicy horses in the dead of winter.
