Thanks Everyone... I'm in work so sorry for late reply...
The vet called - shes doing ok, has eaten a small amount of hay on her own, she has produced 1 poo! They will not let her go until she has eaten/drunk & pooed more. Maybe this evening. Fingers crossed.
My only concern is that she will start to go downhill once off all the pain killers, she always has a bad reaction to Metacam so I'm not sure what they will give her.
Anyway - got to keep thinking positive - my baby will be coming home today!
