Lovely to see, M. How much is he coughing now?

He’s coughing for sure but it’s much less severe, sort of a dry cough but not one that uses his whole body if that makes sense. And generally not unless he’s moving

Well you were certainly all correct. He is almost 100% himself and I can see now my issue will be convincing him that he is actually still a very sick horse!

Knew he’d perk up when he got home. Horses have no concept of tomorrow so he probably thought that was it, he was living at hospital from now on 
It’s no wonder he was a bit down in the dumps!

You would never know he was sick! Love that damn horse for his ridiculous plucky spirit. I’m just overjoyed that him being happy in a field doesn’t seem to be something I’ll need to worry about.
His attitude makes him look a million dollars even when he’s a hat rack

And now to get on with his recovery. So relieved for you. So it was some nasty bacterial lung infection? I assume it’ll be impossible to work out where he picked it up and it’s just one of those things?! So glad he’s on the mend
Pneumonia yes, two bacteria involved. How he got it is anyone’s guess. Possible choked in the night, possible a complication from a GI virus that didn’t show up, who knows.

They are amazing! The barn itself has been wonderful too. But so has everyone here, both horsey and non horsey friends. I came back to a card and a voucher for a massage and I am really looking forward to using that

I thought that yesterday when I accidentally clicked on the first page. It made me a little sad, this is not how I envisaged our American adventures.
But.. we’ve already had some epic ones. And I really hope we get to have a few more. And as hard as this has all been, and as much as I weirdly “hated” America when this first happened as if it was somehow the countries fault I had a sick horse, I feel even more at home here than I did a few weeks ago. I didn’t quite appreciate just how great a crew here Bog and I have already until now. It feels like everyone has put a huge arm around our shoulders.
As the people on the dive boat labeled me- I’m a Britorado now

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
Yessss! The bounce-back is real!
I didn't recognise my mare when I first saw her, she was so pinched. Like I said, she was almost back to normal facial expression once journeyed home!

You were right! I even got an annoyed ear pin from Boggle when I didn’t present him with food when expected. A delighted laugh from me was not quite the reaction he was hoping for
He has his trimmer coming this morning, those glue ons have been on since mid may now so they need to come off and his feet need some TLC!

Thank you!! Just once a day? I’ll go to whole foods
Once or twice a day - antibiotics do so much disruption to the gut biome that any support is a bonus.
Alos, bark thins and their all the cheese pizza are amazing (if the selection is the same in Colrado!). And the cold bred coffee. Oh god, now I'm going to have make an iced coffee

Awesome thanks.
Ha, I’ll have a look. Though I don’t need feeding up at the moment like Bog that’s for sure

Trader Joes and Whole Paycheck/Foods were my weaknesses

Wholepaycheck ha! I’ll be laying off their hot salad bar for the foreseeable that’s for sure. I am more of a sprouts kinda gal.. their pistachio muffins
Haven’t yet made it to a Trader Joe’s as there isn’t one that near me but I need to get to one!

No Sprouts out east that I found, although we did have an Erewhon equivalent which sold things like turmeric, cardamon and bee pollen oat lattes to go while you shopped! Price of groceries = 1 kidney.

I love and miss Whole Foods!
You can certainly use the yogurt and honey, but (and this was ages ago) I used Probios and it wasn't expensive. It was a power, I think, but also comes in treat form.

Hat Rack!!! He looks fab in those videos . You would never know he has been so ill, mind you I expect you could well end up being the hat rack by the time you have paid off your vet billYou would never know he was sick! Love that damn horse for his ridiculous plucky spirit. I’m just overjoyed that him being happy in a field doesn’t seem to be something I’ll need to worry about.

Ah mud, splendid
Aww he looks fantastic for a horse who's just been through what he has. Made me think back to that scraggy dull brown weedy creature you first had delivered all those years ago. Even after a severe illness he still looks a million miles from that pony now.

He’s loving the honey and yoghurt so long as it’s mixed in feed!!
Had his feet trimmed
I’m thinking about adding some linseed to his grain, current on small quantity of releve
