Boggle- USA bound!

[Pinkvboots]

So pleased it's going in the right direction his obviously feeling more like his old self not wanting the back boots on bless him

My Louis can't abide boots on his hind legs his face is a picture of completely fury while he tries to kick them off.

 

[gunnergundog]

Haha I know, it’s a stress think. Coffee and cigarettes is a great combo though!

It could be worse....someone I knew years ago would have an absinthe chaser with his morning coffee and cigarettes - Gitanes, of course! Needless to say, he is now dead, although he did amazingly make his three score and ten.

Pleased to hear that the cause of your stress seems to be perking up! Long may that continue.

 

[Emilieu]

So pleased to hear a more positive update. Oh Boggle, stressing us all out like this!

 

[palo1]

Yay! Keep going in that direction Boggle Can't like a ciggie for breakfast but yeah, stress eh? And it could be worse I guess lol!! Glad you feel a bit more positive too @Michen; that is so good to hear. Perhaps the vets will have enough info to hit whatever it is with the right anti-bios tomorrow but it seems that Boggle is doing his very, very best without that. Keep going. x

 

[J&S]

So pleased to hear better news, keep it going Boggle!

 

[EventingMum]

So please to hear he is fighting so well, keep going Boggle!

 

[SEL]

When they start telling the vets to get lost with something like back boots then they are definitely feeling better!! Much more normal

 

[Red-1]

Fabulous news!

 

[Michen]

The barn boarders are talking about how to have him watched 24/7 if/when he comes home..people are so kind.

Time for a bloody Mary with the cigarette

 

[Michen]

Don’t know if it’s dumb to feel really cheerful. It’s like my body has found a bit of hope and blown it up. I don’t want to kid myself but I’m listening to chirpy music and sitting in the sun!

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Great to read a much more positive update! Many times have I reached for a cigarette at breakfast

 

[nagblagger]

Noo cigarettes..stop encouraging her .

 

[Michen]

I have reduced it to only half a cigarette at the time now

Just stick up a camera and we'll do it for you.

How lovely of them.

[Floofball]

C’mon Bog! Kick this pneumonia off like those pesky boots still got everything crossed for continuing improvements. Do whatever you have to with coping strategies M

 

[splashgirl45]

Good news, sounds like he’s not going anywhere, bless him , glad you are feeling more positive

 

[gryff]

This is absolutely the best idea I've ever read on here...and I've read some excellent ones!

 

[Nicnac]

Glad to read he's improving somewhat and you're feeling chirpier. Hopefully Bog is feeling the gazillions of HHO vibes winging their way across the ocean to him.

 

[Denali]

I admit I skipped ahead…. I am so glad he is brighter.

 

[Michen]

Ok! Bog has pooed! Yay!

The specialist vet just called me and she's really pleased with how he's looking. Apparently they took his boots off to give him a break and put fresh shavings in to which he immediately rolled repeatedly and seemed very pleased with himself.

She thinks his cough is a little better too and his fever although it's still there it's lower (100.8). They are going to start trying to wean him off the banamine. Because his white cell count is back to normal they are far less worried about toxic laminitis so they are dialing down the antitoxins too.

I asked her what her general thoughts are on whether he will get through this and she said she worries far more about the horses with an (understandable) financial limitation to the treatment, and that she's optimistic and hopeful that no "surprises" will come back on the culture (and isn't expecting them too).

She suggested a hay steamer so I'm off to order one of them- what's another $1,000

 

[Hobo2]

Excellent news he has had a shit!!! Steamers are fantastic and worth it to protect their lungs.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

So glad to read this update! Yay Bog!

 

[Kunoichi73]

Great poo news! Keep pooping Boggle!

 

[Haniki]

Fingers crossed he is on the road to recovery now.

 

[Michen]

Hay steamer ordered!! Takes seven days to arrive.

New toys for Bog

 

[Caol Ila]

That's all great news. I'm so happy for you guys. Hopefully he will be out soon!

 

[nagblagger]

Have you ordered the CCTV yet? So HHO can Bog watch..

 

[SEL]

Yay!!

I did think when you posted about the $$$ bill that it's a horrible situation. With surgery there's a yes/no decision and likely costs but poor Bog it's lengthy "it'll take what it takes" to get him well. Tough for owners and the vet if that's not financially viable. Bog is a very, very loved horse and I'm relieved he's on the mend

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Yay for poo .

 

[Dave's Mam]

So glad to hear poo!
