Bonnie's foal rushed into surgery tonight

[Llwyncwn]

Just got home from the clinic where Bonnie's rescued foal had to be rushed in for emergency treatment. He came in very lame - 2 puncture wounds just below the fetlock joint at the back of the foot. Looks like blackthorn and the poison got into the tendon sheath. Soooo, after x-rays, scans and general anesthetic, he has had tendon sheath flushed out. It will be touch and go tonight.

Good vibes please for Magic

shantih had a tendon sheath flush at 5yrs (vet left it 5 days before he would take her in too

) and recovered.

Having just had my horse go through this procedure I know it's a worry, especially with such a young one but when I dropped Millie off there the nurse suggested that it is quite a common procedure so hopefully should go fine.
Thinking of you both.

Just reread, and saw the blackthorn comment... Is this a snake bite?
here's hoping they got it quick and that you have a bouncy foal back again in no time!
