Thanks. I couldn't find it on the site, nor did google yield any results, so that's saved me unpacking!

As the title says really. To save me scrabbling through (still packed a year later) boxes for my scales would anyone happen to know the weight of a stubbs scoop of Fast Fibre please? Many thanks x

Woo! Congratulations!!

My pony too can get rugs off without undoing the straps...well...not that I'm implying he COULD undo the straps if he wanted, you know what I mean lol! I don't rug him up now, he doesn't need it, it was me thinking he needed snuggling up warm lol plus every night I left him I was filled with...

My gelding's prone to it in one of his hinds. I'll never forget getting up one morning and the sickening sign of his enormous leg. It was horrid, oozed pale yellow liquid and was so, so swollen. A jab and oral antibiotics cleared it up in about 5 days but it was really scurfy and almost sunburn...

I had a polish arab who looked very similar. She's lovely :)

I had a horse that had cushings when I got him, he fitted. The first time was in the night, we didn't know what the hell happened, he was in a right state the next morning. The second time I was just about to get on him, he dropped to the floor literally just before I put my foot in the stirrup...

Me again! It's about the same size wise today but there definitely more drainage, though he's been pretty active. I'm wondering if the on-off rainy weather we'e had for the last few days may have hindered it a little, as he spent time under the hedge during the wettest parts of it instead of...

I know what you mean, my vet estimated £200-£300 that was the narrowest margin I could get them to commit to! I budgeted £350 when he ended up having more sedation, then more...as he wouldn't go down, then more jabs for something else etc I started thinking eek, this is really going to be...

He's moving fine, his usual self, quite active without being silly, wound's looking good, I think, though I worried if it had closed too soon? It seems to be the norm in USA to keep them open but my vet said to leave it be. All that's coming out is the honey coloured water, like what comes out...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll cold hose him and give him a bounce in the morning then! He was quite happy to be handled around there earlier, so fingers crossed he'll be a good boy in the morning. I've never seen a castration before and found it quite distressing as he was very...

Hi all, I had my 10 year old gelded a fortnight ago. The procedure went well and he was back with his field companion within a couple of hours. He was sore for a couple of days, walking a little gingerly, which the vet said was to be expected. He's quite an active guy without being silly, and...

I just looked on my bill, the castration was £93, £111.60 with VAT. Then there was the visit and the following meds: Ketaset inj Domidine 20ml Dolorex inj Depocillin inj Equipalazone inj Equipalazone sachets Lignocaine & Adrenaline Eq Intravenous Injection Fee

I paid just over £200 a fortnight ago to geld a 10 year old. That was call out, he was put on his back, op and the extras. the actual procedure was £111 I think.
