Angel close to collapse - horror story

[Box_Of_Frogs]

So yesterday, I'd fed Angel in her stable, slapped suncream on her nose (she burns in candlelight), and put her girlie pink check rain sheet on. I popped her headcollar on and started out of the stable. There's a little step down from the stable to the aisle of the barn. Angel walks forward until 3 feet are out of the stable. Then she stops dead. She can't move her offside hind! OMG! She's broken her leg? She balanced the last foot on the tippytoe for a while then tried shiveringly to bring it out but again couldn't move. Then she tried to slowly reverse back into the stable. At one point all 4 feet were in a tiny square like a circus elephant balancing on an upturned tub. Then her head dropped to the floor and a strange expression came over her. Her knees were begining to buckle and HTG I thought her last hour had come. I thought she was about to drop dead. Jo was in the next door stable and I screamed: Jo, Jo, come quick, there's something very wrong with Angel, quick, quick!!!! Jo dived to the corner of the next door stable that she was working in, to have a good look from behind at what I was seeing from the front. There was a short silence, then:

Jo: Barb, she's scratching her arse on the door frame.
Me: What? What? WHAT? WHAT?
Jo: SHE'S SCRATCHING HER ARSE ON THE DOOR FRAME!!!
Me: ................................
Jo: Come behind her and look.
Me: Ah. Right. OK then. Probably not a fatal disease then

They do love to scare the c*ap out of us don't they.

I thought the old pony next door had died yesterday when I went out - not even a flicker of an ear when I called her - she was most put out when I gave her a gentle boot up the backside to see if she was still alive.

 

[MrsMozart]

Okay, really glad I was lying down when I read that one! Scared my half to wotsit that did.

So glad the sweetie is just an itchy

[H's mum]

OMG I was just beginning to think the yard was cursed!

We can always rely upon you BoF

Kate xx

 

[LadyRascasse]

you made us all feel like you felt when she was doing it to you so not fair glad she's ok though had my heart in my mouth for a second there

 

[Llwyncwn]

ROFLMAO @ you Barb

I can see why Kate must think the yard is cursed

You can get rubber scratch pads to put on the stable wall - it is better for the bum than the door frame

Slinky - Bonny had another episode last night and again this morning

Waiting for vets to ring.
