Same here - no matter where I am or what I'm doing I log onto this site just to check on you guys. Today I am home acclimating three new horses that just arrived via Fed Ex and all I can think about is you and Bigun. And I gotta tell ya - I am so paranoid and am examining these guys through a magnifying glass checking for any signs of problems. This journey of yours has certainly touched us all.

Sue,
I wish you all the luck with your horses....I keep looking at Skinny over and over too...kinda takes the enjoyment out of having them...But hopefully all of this will pass, hopefully BIGUN will recover (or decide to let go), and hopefully I can go on w/o being a paranoid hobbyist

poor little guy! it almost looks like there is something eating his tale! i know he's alone... i really hope you get some kind of news from NY while it can still help! Keep fighting BIGUN!

It does look like something is eating at his tail IMO.

Well not too much to report...BIGUN just got his tube feeding. He is back in his qt.after w/c and new meds
He was laying on bottom when I got home today...after feeding he tried to swim....he did not do too well, although he is up slightly on his little bridge. I will let him rest, and place him on his castle later if he does not do it himself....
OHHHH...I did forget to mention that his eye seems LESS swollen, but still not right

 

[katsafados]

Maybe you can hold him upright and guide him for a swim. Might do him well to have the water flowing by his gills(if they have them

, dont know ne thing about sea horses)

Their gills are enclosed. The area of skin enclosing the gills is called the operculum. They is more or less what one might refer to as the seahorse's "cheeks"; the part that inflates and deflates with breathing, with a single hole at the top of each.
With enclosed gills, I don't know that moving him through the water is going to do a heck of a lot more than what he is doing himself by huffing and puffing. If he were to stop breathing, I suppose the best method of artificial respiration (for revival purposes only; say, in a case of not awaking after anesthetic), would be to "blow" water at/into his snout via a syringe or eyedropper type device.

Same thing...different day....I am going to try to tube feed him 2x today (maybe) But I have to go pick my doggies up from the vet...
Will report later...

I've done this... it works.

 

[meowzer]

This is something I was never hoping to say...BIGUN has given up the fight....About 30 minutes ago, I took him out to feed him...I knew right away something was different about him....I held him in my hand in the feeding bowl carressing him as he took his last breaths. I only hope I was comforting him....RIP BIGUN.....

 

[cranberry]

Oh No!! I'm so sorry! You tried so very very hard.

 

[gypsana]

Sorry Meowzer, this is a hard loss but at least you gave him everything possible so you can always be comforted that you did your best. We will all morn the loss of Bigun.

 

[melypr1985]

i'm so sorry meowzer! you did your absolute best, dont be too sad. remember at least he's not in pain anymore. RIP BIGUN!

 

[katsafados]

SORRY!! Meowzer

You tried your best, nothing else you could do!

 

[meowzer]

Thanks guys...I had to put away and clean up all his stuff...i could not stand to see his qt and castle w/o him.....I also just buried him in a shady little corner of my garden...he has his castle and bridge as his marker....
