Miss Joe (1979) QH mare. Miss Joe was turned over to MHR by her very caring family, a couple who could no longer afford to care for her. She will be well cared for for the rest of her life.

As I type this I can view Miss Joe, a 30yo QH mare, from my desk. She seems to be a bit more comfortable, but we are keeping a close watch on her.
She is having a bout w/ gas colic. Dr. Hadland tubed her with oil, water and electrolytes. I have attached video of the procedure and his assessment. He states that putting something in their stomachs eg., fluids, generally will get the gas to pass. He did do a rectal exam and found no compaction or blockage of any sort, but did note a great deal of gas. Nothing has changed in her diet, so we now wait and watch. She has passed some gas. He gave her a shot of banamine.

Miss Joe
Miss Joe tried, Dr. Hadland tried, we tried...but she could not go on. At 3:05pm Miss Joe received her wings. We as humans could do no more for her except to let her pass w/ dignity.
