two of mine are vaccinated for both and one for tetanus only. One of the vaccinated ones got flu two years ago so im not convinced about the efficiency of the vaccine but the two that are done are from world horse welfare so have to be otherwise I would just do tetanus.

morning folks vet came out thursday and agreed that the eye lid having blown up like that was causing far more issues than the ulcer was. Swelling is finally back to pretty much where we started from 9 days ago! and ulcer is much smaller but at least I can get the eye ointment right into now...

Thanks folks, the eye its self actually looks fairly ok to be honest its just the eyelid, which has gone down a bit every day but its a week in now and still more swollen than what we started with! im really annoyed that ive been ringing the vets every day and chasing and only got a call back...

Ok folks came home from work last Tuesday, got horse in from field. Eye swollen and running it was half closed. Wasn't overly concerned Presumed eye ointment would sort out .Vet came small ulcer on eye and gave anti inflammatory but then injected some paste type antibiotic under the top eye lid...

warble?

Good morning lovely folks of HHO. I m looking for a not ridiculously expensive cctv system so I can keep an eye on my boys in the stable. The stable is approx 15 metres from the house. I would want it to have night vision and I thought wifi system would be easier than faffing with cables but...

twiggy I totally agree something like RNLI or even a service paid for by owners which could be sustainable. Unfortunatly dialogue with NWFR is that they are stopping service and that is it, no back up plan or looking into other models. It was decided at a meeting in december and went public late...
