Mocha has crossed over
|
jjlittle@...
I lost Mocha to colic last weekend. She was at an equine hospital. It was unexpected. She was alert and did fine with the trailer ride there. She has been back in full work the past few months. Are PPID horses more pone to colic or could Prascend make them more prone? It seems like several others have loss horses this way.

Hi Marcy - I don't have answers to your questions but just wanted to tell you how very sorry I am to hear this news. Words seem so inadequate at times like these. Hugs and support coming your way.

I am so sorry Marcy. This has to be a huge event for you.
IME here, PPID/pergolide horses are not more prone than the general population. Drinking inadequate water can be part of the pergolide veil. Run free, Mocha.

Marcy I’m sorry for your loss, I don’t know if PPID has anything to do with it but we have lost a couple in our small community to colic in the last month.
Again my thoughts are with you. -- Bobbie and Maggie Desi (over the rainbow bridge 7/21) Utah, Nov 2018 ECIR Group Primary Response https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Bobbie%20and%20Maggie https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=271156 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Bobbie%20and%20Desi https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=78821 |

Hi Mary, I'm so sorry for your sudden loss, especially when everything was going well. I hope you can focus on the good memories and let her fly free.
I don't know of any statistics on PPID in particular, but many many non-PPID horses are also lost by colic, as I'm sure you know. There have been studies on causes of death in geriatric horses. This one looked at a population that was half PPID and half non-PPID and found the same causes of death (The majority (95%) of mortalities were euthanised, most frequently due to colic (20%), old age (19%), and lameness (15%)). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0737080621004536 -- Kirsten and Shaku (EMS + PPID) and Snickers (EMS) - 2019 Kitimat, BC, Canada ECIR Group Moderator Shaku's Photo Album Snickers' Case History Snickers' Photo Album |

Marcy, I’m so sorry for the loss of Mocha. Losing a horse to colic is devastating. I’ve been there a few times. Most recently with my PPID horse, Logo, whom I had just switched from pergolide to cabergoline and he seemed to be making great progress. He was 31. Of course, all the same questions you had went through my mind as well but I push them aside. I’ve had so many years with horses with PPID, including about 15 years of Logo on pergolide, which have been colic free.
