Chuck:
I am not computer literate enough to link articles or websites to the TG board,
but the following comes from "the horse.com (Your Guide to Equine Health Care)".
Article 10072, dated July 28, 2007, authored by Cristy West, contains the
following:
"The first six months after colic surgery is the critical period, and if you
get to one year after surgery, you can relax a little," [Dr.] Freeman
said. "People think that a horse after colic surgery is finished, but thats not
true. We know that many of these horses go back to very top level performance.
For example, Left Bank was a thoroughbred who colicked as a two year old and
had some small intestine removed. He raced from two to five years old and had
24 starts and 14 wins..."
The Dr. Freeman who is quoted is a veterinarian on the faculty of the
University of Florida.
Your approach, and your writing style, are such that the occasional inclusion of
some facts would do nothing to dilute your posts or soften their impact.
