I have poseted full info with pics in photo gallery. Baron is a 16.3 12yr old Bay IDxTB with small sock to near hind. I had him since a 5year old and made hearbreaking decision to sell him in November 2010. He was sold to a girl called Laura in Ormskirk, I kept in touch while she had him...

Aplogies for the late update. The post mortem results showed a virus that attacked the nervous system.

Yes they are going to carry one out. Missing him so much :(

Thank you for all your good wishes. Sam was put to sleep this morning. Heartbroken doesn't even come close. A diagnosis wasnt made :-(

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you all for your advice and good wishes. We went to see him yesterday and he is still the same. He has improved very very slighly and seemed a bit more like our Sam yesterday but the paralysis is still there (he cant move his ear at all or blink his eye at all...

Thanks :-) I have done more research and it seems botulism can take 7-10 days to display recogniseable symptoms. This ties in with him. Also he is displaying every symptom. I have spoken to vet again today and they have not tested for it, and still insist he would have displayed symptoms...

Can anyone that does not usually visit the vetinary forum please help.....horsey is critical and we have hit a brick wall. http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=522614

My loan pony Sam is currently in Leahurst Vetinary Hospital and has been since yesterday afternoon. He is suffering from paralysis to right side of his face, large cyst in right eye and swollen left one mainly. I will start from beginning. Sunday before last we went down first thing and he...

Are day and evening tickets seperate or does one ticket entitle you to both?

Can anyone tell me the best day to go to Olympia? I am looking at booking hotel asap to get it a bit cheaper (more shopping money for me). I am looking at getting a bit of a mix, but would prefer to watch the showjuming or prisance if possible. Also I am looking at day performance rather than...

oh and it is both of his back legs not just one, sorry forgot to mention in original post.

He is used to long walks and bombs round the house like mad after our puppy so I didnt think it would be a problem. Yes I have learnt the hard way and wont forgive myself for this if its my fault :( No he did not x-ray it, just watched him walk up and down and had a little poke around. I was...
