I'm not clear on what they do during surgery for bruising on a small colon. Would part of it be removed? Maybe do something to reduce bleeding and stitch it up?

I'm wondering if this will be it for her for motherhood. She wound up at R&R for pain management after foaling the colt. This is a lot more serious.

The filly is with a nurse mare. Does this mean she stays with the nurse mare until weaning now?
