So sorry to hear about your boy, i lost mine in the summer so know how hard it is. Yes bandaged with softban vet gamgee and vet wrap and def didn't over tighten although have been doing it for 2 weeks now.The lump is directly where bandage has been finishing and is very localised. If it is a...

anyone?!

can you use magnet boots on a leg with an open wound? - wound is now 2 weeks old and would not be directly under the boot? thanks

I have a horse that cut the outside of his fetlock joint very badly two weeks ago. The wound has been cleaned and re bandaged daily, and i have just started to take the bandage off during the day to let the air get to it so it can start to scab over and heal. However since taking the bandage...

I have used visorbin for an anaemic horse and i was told by my vet net to keep him on it for long periods of time becuase he will become dependant on it and that won't help him!

Thankyou every one for your kind words, and thank you very much Tass. Its nearly 2:00am and i still haven't made it to bed. I can't stop thinking about him. I wish i could have just one more hug. Good night Jack sleep tight xx

Thank you all for your kind words it is nice to know others are thinking of him. I miss him so much already x

Thank you so much for posting this KatB I am sat at home not quite sure what to do with myself. I can hardly belive that you are no longer here and next time i go to work you won't be there. This has been the hardest decision i have ever had to make and the worst day of my life. Jack ment...

Yeah although even for him, he has been more grumpy recently, was better to hand graze today so bute obviously kicked in. Just don't want to be a cruel mummy keeping him going and going when perhaps a line needs to be drawn. I think the combination of both problems would seriously put a limit on...

oh i know its all just too much! i so wish it was clear cut! i hate the thought that he is in pain. spends most of the day being grumpy in his stable and pulling faces at me, unless of course i have carrots! Just think its such a lot to put him through surgery knowing he has other big issues...

Thanks for your replies. I suppose my main concern when it comes down to it, is that i have completely lost my turst in him and would be very wary about getting back on him, even in a school let alone out hacking. I find it so hard that he is absolutely fine one min and completely looses it the...

Thanks very much Grumpy_Herbert sadly i don't have a gut instinct on this one. Part of me is desperate for him to not be in pain or suffer anymore - as he has obviosuly been putting up with a great deal. BUT i would do anything not to loose him, but am so worried about putting him through...

Nope no rotation or dropping at all. he is just very footy and vet said the soles of his (rather flat TB feet!) are very sore aswell?!

They took his shoes off when he had his MRI and it made him so crippled he could barely walk at all! He now has egg bar shoes, dental impression putty and pads and i am very lucky that i have an olympic farrier shoeing him!! Forgot to say that he has sore soles aswell. Previous history - he was...
