This is going to be short today because we are in a hotel in Stanton, Virginia, trying to get ready for the Brownstone Conference titled “Real Food, Real Health” being held at Joel Salatin’s Polyface farm.
Offering prayers for healing of Cara. Given her symptoms, please ask your vet to consider giving her homeopathic Colocynthis 30C or 200C dissolved in water, which could potentially resolve the colic.
My sweetheart almost died years ago from a sudden colic. By the time the vet arrived, she believed it was too late. She later said that she knew it was hopeless. But she also saw the rare bonding we had and how much I would miss him. She only knew to PRAY. Others prayed too, and it was a true miracle that he came out of it totally well. I will never forget it!!! Sending PRAYERS to your LOVELY mare!
I’ll pray for Caranja’s recovery. As you are so blessed to have and care for such a beautiful animal, she is blessed to have you both. I’m a firm believer in prayer and hope for a positive outcome.
We so hope for Cara's full recovery and understand the heartbreak you are going through. (We lost a beloved llama to something similar decades ago and still miss him.)
You'll likely get lots of advice, but the DMSO massage expressed by Nancy Needham was our first thought as well. It can do no harm and may help.
I lingered on the photo of Dr. Malone with Jeffrey Tucker and Jan Jekielek. Grief reaches out to touch us, but I hope Cara comes through, and that the grief is mitigated by a community of fast and like-minded friends. Perhaps in a better tomorrow, I may find myself in such a gathering; there must be comfort there.
Oh dear Malones, what a bummer, why do we humans get so attached to our animals? My heart goes out to you both, may God be with you and encourage you at this time.
There's only one problem with your comment and that is we tend to anthropomorphise the actions of animals, especially since thr secular world, which does not have a biblical worldview, equates us as being animals as per the theory of evolution, and not creatures made in the image of God.
How does saying they don't lie anthroporphising? They don't plot the downfall of nations, they don't get together to spin tales to deceive, whether it's evolution or God-given, they are who they are. And btw, we are mammals. And what is the image of God? All creatures are made by God, and you think there was no image in His mind before the physical creation? And if God lives by law and is omnipotent, why could He not have worked within evolution?
Are you saying we are not mammals? Are you saying that things were not created in the mind of God before they were giving physical form? In Genesis it says he created all things before there was anything on the earth. Two creations: one spiritual, one physical. Evolution will be proved or disproved when we meet the Maker.
Good morning, I have dealt medically with many horse colics over the years using a tincture that has Nux vomica, gentian, ginger and fennel in it - just like the veterinarians of yesteryear used, and to very good success. Just last week, a friend of ours came from SC to NC to get the tincture for their horse that was in an equine hospital for colic which hadn't responded to the hospital's treatment of epsom salt per naso-gastric tube and flunixin (Banamine)over the course of 48 hours. I talked to the vet there and they agreed to try the tincture and also to tube in 1 gallon mineral oil (although they were skeptical for sure, but being a vet myself we could talk shop and had mutual respect). Within 24 hours the horse starting on that treatment, she passed the impaction and went home to a very happy family. I've used this protocol on various other nearby horses as well. It's my standard treatment for colic and I'm not even an equine practitioner. Just using what was from the old vet books that I've seen. If you're interested in this, or if you want me to talk to your vet, please feel free to contact me. One vet in Indiana who works with many horses says that it has saved many a horse from surgery.
The tincture is botanical with true pharmacologic action (it is not homeopathic).
Enjoy the gathering at Joel's. He's been down to our farm here a couple times in the past and they've gotten rams from us for their sheep flock.
Global Healing.com carries a product called Oxypowder. It is taken for constipation. I read a comment where someone gave it to a horse with colic and it totally cleared it. It really is a miraculous product.
Ozonated magnesium oxide reacts with stomach acid to release oxygen in your digestive tract. The natural oxidation process helps loosen impacted waste, Soften build up, and promote complete healthy bowel movements. It works without cramping or discomfort. As an osmotic laxative, magnesium oxide draws water into the intestines, softens stool, and promotes bowel movement. It can help to relax smooth muscles including those in the digestive tract. This can ease G.I. discomfort such as cramping and spasms, and promote more comfortable digestion. The product is designed to alleviate the discomfort of gas, bloating and occasional constipation. The magnesium oxide in this product has undergone a process of ozonation, which may aid in relieving constipation through the slow release of oxygen as it works in the gut.
“Effortlessly loosen impacted waste and purify the entire digestive tract... unlike other solutions that are synthetic and harmful, OXY – powder is gentle on the body and non-addictive, allowing you to use it as needed without concern for dependency.
Customers say: OXY – powder offers a natural solution for digestive issues, effectively dissolving compacted feces and eliminating toxins. Customers report satisfaction with its ease of use and effectiveness and promoting regularity and cleansing the colon and small intestine. The product is praised for its ability to provide relief without causing side effects, cramping or indigestion. 4.8 rating based on 12,146 reviews!
Thank you. I'm a fan of magnesium in general. Its effects are immense in the body. I've upped my daily Mg glycinate intake and reduce the incidence to near zero of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) as well as lower back and leg charlie horses. Extra magnesium prior to calving also helps to reduce the incidence of milk fever in dairy cows.
Ozone therapy is a fascinating mode of therapy that some of my veterinary colleagues have pioneered in small animal medicine.
Ozinated Mg is something new to me but seems like a really interesting angle to add into practice. Thank you.
It is truly amazing how it works and how effective it is. You have to play with the dose a bit. It would take more capsules in a large animal than a human I’m sure. Good luck with it!

Prayers for Cara -- and Homeopathic Colocynthis, would be my first go-to in this situation.
YES! I have heard of homeopathy curing colic in horses.
I hope so.. :) yes.. we can pray for the health of Cara.. sounds like good plan. :) What a beautiful horse and filly :)
Thank you for sharing your insightful, knowledgeable expertise!
I am reminded of the old saying, "Two heads are better than one", as the proverb reminds us.

God is good...
You have my prayers and hopes for Cara’s full recovery ❤️🩹 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’ll pray for Caranja’s recovery. As you are so blessed to have and care for such a beautiful animal, she is blessed to have you both. I’m a firm believer in prayer and hope for a positive outcome.
Massage her belly with DMSO which will be absorbed through her skin and will relieve inflammation

May Cara regain her place in your family. What a beautiful baby she has!
We shall pray for her. Please let us know how she comes through this.
Bless you all.
Oh dear Malones, what a bummer, why do we humans get so attached to our animals? My heart goes out to you both, may God be with you and encourage you at this time.
Why indeed, except that they never lie. What an animals puts out to you is genuine, such a difference in dealing with other humans.
There's only one problem with your comment and that is we tend to anthropomorphise the actions of animals, especially since thr secular world, which does not have a biblical worldview, equates us as being animals as per the theory of evolution, and not creatures made in the image of God.

And if God lives by law and is omnipotent, why could He not have worked within evolution?
We are the only beings made in the image of God and evolution is an unproven theory which will never be proved.

In Genesis it says he created all things before there was anything on the earth. Two creations: one spiritual, one physical. Evolution will be proved or disproved when we meet the Maker.

Prayers for Cara and both of you sent!
