Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Vets staying after ride

Well, here is a question I have wanted to ask for a little bit.  Years ago,
at a ride, my mare tied up.  We chose aggressive treatment to mimimize
damage and blood was drawn ASAP to be analyzed later.  The ride vets started
IV fluids and I think by 5 that day, we had two five liter bags into her.
Horse never showed any symptoms or seemed very distressed.  At 5, the head
vet told me that I either needed to haul the horse home (over 2 hours) and
find my regular vet to continue treatment, or haul the hour to U. C. Davis,
as all the vets were going out to dinner and leaving.  Not knowing if I
could get a local vet, I chose to haul to Davis, where they continued fluids
all night and I picked the horse up two days later.  Due to immediate
treatment, she was fine and has done 50;s afterward. However, someone once
told me that if a vet started treatment on a horse, they could not abandon
it?  Any comments on this?
