I need all the vibes you can spare tonight

[Jessey]

I had new hay delivered Saturday, tonight I’ve found hemlock in it. Confirmed from pictures by 15 experts.
I had a couple of small emergency bales so immediately pulled it from them and gave them all that.
On call vet checked with a specialist; basically they’re either poisoned or they’re not. Nothing can be done and nothing to monitor, it kills in hours if they’ve had enough.
Shitting myself to put it mildly.
I’ve called the supplier, he’s mortified. He’s going to pick up the stems to have them tested, he doesn’t sell a lot of hay it’s mostly made for their horses and sheep, so he’s terrified too.

O dear. Poor Jessey. How complicated and terrifying the countryside is. I thought Hemlock was something only in Shakespeare. You have all our vibes = OH and me - but we know that is not enough.

 

[carthorse]

How terrifying for you. I'm sending loads and loads of vibes xxx

 

[domane]

Oh gosh, Jessey! My fingers are firmly crossed for your lovely herd xxx

 

[Doodle92]

Oh no. Also sending vibes that it is ok.

 

[Mary Poppins]

Thinking of you, hope it all works out ok.

 

[Kite_Rider]

Sending everything I’ve got your way Jessey, how frightening for you.

 

[Sparky Lily]

What a nightmare. Everything crossed and good vibes by the bucketful.

 

[Bodshi]

You know it grows in hedges right.

 

[carthorse]

More vibes on the way @Jessey , I hope they're still all ok

 

[Jessey]

Yes all ok so far, so I’m hoping that means we’re out of the woods.

Now to figure out getting some other hay in a hurry!

Thank God for that! I hope you can get some other hay quickly, I'm sure your supplier will help if he can.

what a nightmare. Rose cob poisoned herself and was rushed to hospital to have a liver biopsy, she was given a week to live. I remember the utter shock and disbelief but Rose had other ideas, she recovered and lived another 10 years. We got a herbalist out and we traced alsike clover which birds had dropped seeds on our tracks and it had grown there, I didn't know that it was different from other clovers and for years was paranoid about clover checking the leaf pattern which is the only way you can tell it is poisonous. I am so relieved they are ok, you must have been terrified and feel so helpless
