A wee tiny bit positive

[doodle]

Vet was at yard today so checked in with Robin. He is tentatively pleased and we think he has turned a corner. We can’t say he is “well” but I am confident we are making progress. Vet admitted quite how worried he was about him. He is such a good boy to have his inhaler. A friend had turned him out this morning so I took inhaler to field, stuck his headcollor on and did it in the field. He is tricky in that he tries not to breathe but hopefully enough going in to be helping. His breathing rate is down to 14 after sitting at 20 for ages (26 at worst). He was interested in chatting to the vet, he had been switching off and blocking out the vet, and happy to eat his hay while we were talking. He is much happier being groomed and although dosnt eat his hay constantly he will eat (this was a huge alarm point when he was ill as normally he dosnt stop eating so not eating is a bad sign).

Hoping very much I am not tempting fate but just perhaps there is light at the end of a very dark, long tunnel.

That sounds very positive. So pleased for you both. Fingers still crossed that the progress continues.

Thanks ?. He was quite pleased Robin felt able to career about being a twit on Saturday and not too worried that he was puffed. I guess he has had no exercise for 4months so wouldn’t be fit anyway even if not ill.

I agree, that sounds like a step in the right direction. I will keep my fingers crossed for you both.

Keeping my fingers crossed! My little companion pony has a breath holding capability a deep free diver would be proud of when it comes to taking his inhaler, so I feel you there!

It's not often it makes me feel genuinly happy hearing that a horse is careering about behaving like a twit, but today's one of those times. So glad to read your positive update.

Lots of {{{{{{Vibes}}}}}} for that it continues onwards and upwards.
