Keep Lost in the Fog in your prayers...

Post by **The Steward** » 17 years ago

Not supposed to say much about it, but Lost in the Fog is struggling himself, although he is "responding to treatment," so keep him in your prayers.

Mild colic, according to Bloodhorse..

Post by **The Steward** » 17 years ago

Was told by the trainer yesterday that it was more than mild, but when I called the vet clinic they say that he would be fine eventually.

Wow. The size of a cantaloupe? That sounds pleasant. :huh:

I know many believe this horse to be a fluke, but what a ride he took everyone on last year. Hope he gets better, soon.

the lymphoma, how long would it have been in there for it to be the size of a cantaloupe? :blink:

If I'm remembering right, lymphomas are usually contained to a degree. Sometimes, though, an enlarged lymph node can be completely benign, just the result of a big bad infection. FIP will do that in cats. How long does it usually take, though? Not long...
I've seen proportionately the same growth in less than a month. Might be something else that started the inflammation and it went from there.

Dang press releases..

Foggy is no fluke. He may not be pegasus, but he's genuine.

IsaP · Post by **IsaP** » 17 years ago

The press will never truely believe in racing. I think they would even consider Secretariat a fluke if he were still racing today.

LoL Very true Isa.

And yet, Nascar is popular. Where "the car was loose" is a reasonable excuse for getting whooped. Go Figure.. <_<

LOL!

I think it's hard for them to understand a sport where two minds, equally brilliant, collaborate for a win.

I did some research on splenectomies in equines. It seems to be something that has a pretty good success rate, though they didn't publish the recovery information. As his trainer says, Foggy's a warrior, though. He needs our prayers to see him through.
