Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Vets staying after ride

At the Malibu ride, my vet put in over 20+ liters in 3+ hours plus Calcium 
and dextrose based on blood work that was drawn at the time of tie up and run 
promptly.  She Never lost touch with me nor was out of shouting range.  I was 
instructed in great detail on what he could eat what to look for and all his 
parameters were monitored by her aprox every 45 min while the ride was on.  
The  cather in his neck was left in until 9 PM and at that point he was 
bright eyed and alert.  She said only bran mash his watermelon some carrots 
and no hay cause none had come out.  He had peed normal color and amount.  
But she advised me that he needed cont. monitoring thru ut the week.  She 
gave me info on how to get her ALL night long. At no time did I feel 
desperate or abandoned.  When she left for the evening Bob was stable and 
comfortable.  The next morning he was ripping my arm out and pulling me all 
over the camp.  I still had her number.  I called the Office on Monday,AM the 
girls there were already apprised of my and Bob and ready to fax info to my 
Vet.  She was there for me and BOB THE WHOLE TIME.  If a horse was not stable 
and the vet left I would feel differently.  Donna and BOB
