Everyone, please send Terri hugs today as Fleury by Erzsand out of Flugprinzessin passed over the rainbow bridge this morning.
She left Terri with a beautiful Stiletto filly born last year and will be missed greatly.
She was a great mare who taught me to be a better rider and she was a loving first time mom to her filly.
Sending you lots of {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} today, Terri.

I know that there is always the question of what happened when you lose a equine partner. I opened another thread just to express the heart felt side of this horrible event. Now I will share with you the story of what happened to Fleury as it is something I never expected. Fleury has been running a fever for the last 3 days, the vets suspected flu. We where able to bring the fever down with bute and she continued to eat, drink and the all important pass manure during this time. I was in constant contact with my vet and we where monitoring her closely, temp, fluids, stress level on all other parts of her body. I had put her down for the night and checked on her at 8:30 and 10:30pm at both times she was slowly but surely going through her hay. I woke up the next morning with a strange feeling and felt immediately I had to check on Fleury, it was at that time I discovered she had laid down, went to sleep and died. Their was no struggle, no outward signs of any problems and when I found her she had not been gone long. I know those that have gone through this can well imagine the host of feelings that take you over, but of course the details must be taken care of and the rest of the herd cared for. We made arrangments for an autopsy and the service that handle the situation where quick in respond, this I am grateful for as not knowing makes the situation worse. Fluery had a mass in her colon that was about the size of a softball. Apparently this mass is not that uncommon and usually starts with a foreign object that builds up calcification around it. the center of her mass was hair. It started in her stomach and did move enough through her digestive system to make it to the area it was found in. The mass had aggravated her stomach to the point of creating paritnitis (sp?) which was making its way through her whole digestive system and effecting her liver. This was the source of her fever. The autopsy vet states this would have been a tough problem to diagnois and by time the outward signs appeared the infection was very advanced. The solution would have been surgery with 6 or more months of recovery time with the chances of actually making it through very slim. The vet was surprised that this mass did not cause an impacted colic but apparently there was enough room for manure to pass through. The cause of death was endotoxic shock, her organs shut down. This is what happened to this beautiful mare who only days ago was full of life and spirit. It will take some time to come to terms with what happened and only hope she did not suffer much.
