11:30am Good news, as of this morning, Hickory is doing better, he stayed comfortable throught the night! He is passing some manure and they have lowered his IV fluids. He is still in the clinic though and they are watching him carefully.
We had decided that he was a canidate for emergency colic surgery if it came to that. Hickory is only 4 years old, otherwise healthy, and has his whole life ahead of him. Colic surgery can cost anywhere from $3500-$10,000, but usually averages around $5,000. Luckily, so far, it looks like he will recover without needing surgical intervention...
Will update again when we hear back from the vet with an update on his condition!
