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

I think the main reason being is that is hardly has any nutritional value, and you have to add limestone to it. It is basically classed as a pointless feed and not quite so readily available in feedstores. These days there are much better feeds on the market which are complete feed so people...

I have just watched that video and actually think I may have been right all along. Vet totally ruled it out when we told them, not one vet but 3. I will call them first thing. Thank you very much.

Yes, we mentioned the pigeon a million times to all the vets that have seen him. Vet basically said he had been contaminated by the pigeon then he would have been severly ill within 24hrs and dead within days so he completly ruled it out. The pigeon was more of a carcus, bearing in mind it must...

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...

My dalmatian is 12 and was in perfect health until a few weeks ago. I took up running and decided to take him with me, went 1k slow jog maximum. The next day he seemed stiff so rested him. Took him again 1 week later and he was 10 times worse. he is not at all overweight. He is reluctant to...

This is about my friends new horse. When she got him a few weeks ago he was quite hard to ride into a contact. Now all of a sudden he is very overbent. He is ridden on a normal eggbutt snaffle with plain cavesson noseband. He is quite a forward horse and works nicely from behind. She used draw...

Which is the best paint to paint the inside of a wooden stable with? It just needs tidying up a little. I am after something that would seal the wood as I put huge straw banks up which I only usually turn twice through the winter. Can I just use something like Ronseal? The stable will not be...

I am a nice sane owner and I share my horse My sharer has my horse 3 days a week, she does pretty much what she likes with him and has lessons on him. I do pop down occasionally when she is there to see how things are going, and will occasionally borrow a horse and hack out with her. I did...

Thanks very much

When towing a single horse in a twin trailer does the horse go on the left or the right? I know this has been asked loads of times before but I usually use a box so havent really taken much notice Thanks

Thank you all very much for the replies, I will be having a look at all the suuggesions this weekend, I really dont want a Defender though, I know they are relly good but I want something a little more 'pretty'

I am really considering swapping my car and box for a 4x4 and trailer, I have done all the maths and think it will work out better. Anyway I am a little stuck as to which 4x4 to go for. All of these I would be looking at getting a 1996-1998 one (that is the budget). Ideally I think a Shougun...

I would not go as far as saying it was cruel, but I certainly wouldn't do it to my horse. Horses put up with a lot as they feel they should not object or complain. You say he carried on, but that does not mean it was not hurting him. It is like we sometimes ride when we have an injury, but at...

I am debating whether to sell my little box and get a trailer, so I thought I would ask you lot. I am after the cheapest option (as in day to day costs i.e petrol, maintenence etc). I currently have an E reg transit box 2l petrol. I usually spend about £200-400 to get it through its MOT, last...

Everything about him is perfectly normal besides him being tucked up. He was still like that today but not as bad. I lunged him and he seemed fine. He has not been worked since Monday. He has pink powder as a supplement/probiotic. He seems perfectly well on the outside. The vet just said to...

He had definatly not been sweating, he was not that hot. He was tucked up before I took his rug off as I noticed it the moment I removed it. It was not that hot, I had a t-shirt, jumper and coat on, just quite a bit warmer than it had been.

Do you think it is possible his could be the other way around? It suddenly warmed up yesterday compared to the past week, it was 2pm when I got him in and he had a MW on.

I got Baron in yesterday and he appeared very tucked up behind. The only time I have seen him like this before is the day after I took him on a fun ride - it was a really hot day, he got very sweaty and would not have a drink afterwards. Anyway he went for a lesson on monday as usual, I gave...

Thanks for the advice everyone, I will look into the product suggested
