Kaila Jaide, Thoroughbred filly, with colic.
“I have a Thoughbred filly named Kaila Jaide who was around 11 months old when she got very sick. When I arrived at the barn one morning it was obvious she had had a busy night. Kaila lives in a covered pen which at the time had a plastic coated wire webbing stretched between the metal bars. The webbing had been there since soon after her birth and she had never bothered it. Apparently the previous night she thought it would be fun to tear it down. When I arrived at the barn Kaila was chowing down on breakfast and seemed just fine. I cleaned up the mess she had made ripping up the fence and started on my barn chores. A bit later I looked over and she was standing in a pile of hay and not eating. I walked her around for a while and after an hour or so she seemed to be fine. A few hours later she coliced quite dramatically. I called the vet and he pumped oil in her stomach and gave her a few shots for pain, etc. The vet was quite worried since babies don’t usually colic unless they have eaten something they should not have eaten. I told him how Kaila had ripped down her fence and could have possibly swallowed some of it. After the vet treated her she seemed to be feeling much better. However, an hour later Kaila was suddenly on the ground again. I called the vet and he said that if she was colicing again after he treated her it had to be because she had swallowed part of the fence and that I needed to get her to the hospital immediately. The hospital would more than likely have to operate on Kaila to save her. While I would have paid whatever it cost to save Kaila the problem was I did not have the money right then. There is no way the hospital accepts horses unless you can pay them on the spot and colic surgery is a bit pricey. I made an emergency call to Lynn to see if she could do something to help Kaila. She did some energy work on her. I don’t know exactly what Lynn did but I do know Kaila somehow got well. I don’t think Kaila would have made it without Lynn. I will be eternally grateful for her help in saving Kaila’s life.” -Jane Goth, California
