Chica needs your help

Hi there, my name is Cassidee and the cutie in the photo is Chica.

I have only had Chica since August of 2023. It is possible that before she came to me she was exposed to a stud, almost immediately after having had a traumatic stillbirth in June. It is unknown if the stud bred her or not.

Oct 25 she had what I believed at the time to be colic. It was remarked upon how "she looked like she was trying to give birth" but at that point I thought there was no chance she had been around a stud again and we continued to believe she had colic.

She has felt great for the last week, but tonight she started to "contract" again and is now passing tissue. I am 99.9% sure it is placental tissue as it has a network of blood vessels.. but it appears to be rotten so I am not sure how long she may have retained it for.

If you know me personally then you likely know that I have been unwell and disabled from work. I can't so much as heat my house right now, and a vet bill won't be cheap.

It takes a lot for me to grit my teeth and do something like this but Chica needs medical attention. I'm scared of infection and/or retained placenta.. and that's IF I am correct in what is wrong (she is aborting another foal). I am waiting on a call back from the vet and I won't stop that process, but I genuinely have no way of paying for it. I don't even know how I will get back home from the vet.

If you can help Chica get the care she needs please donate.. even if it is only a dollar or two. When it rains it pours. I have been financially stable up until this point and of course this is what is going on.

UPDATE 6:52pm - the vet agrees that it is likely a spontaneous abortion/miscarriage and that retained placenta and/or infection are the main concerns. Unfortunately they refuse to see her without a $250 deposit so time is of the essence! Unfortunately I literally just can not come up with that amount.
