Hi all,
My little NF pony has gone off to the local equine vet hospital today, he has not been right for a few weeks, lame on three legs which has not improved even with rest and physio. He is due to have a full body bone scan tomorrow as there is no point nerve blocking as its not obvious where the pain is coming from. He will be in isolation until Thursday and then depending on the results, possible further tests.
He was not happy at being left in the stable and made his disapproval perfectly clear by making a right racket, im sure they will have had enough of it by thursday! I kept him in last night as it was an early start for us this morning and when i left him for the evening he was rearing in the stable (he settles but not until everyone has left) - he is going to go stir crazy, poor lad!
If the outcome is that he cannot be ridden but be a companion, i will be keeping him or aiming at putting him on a loan close to home (as a companion as he is cheap to keep) no matter what anyone says as i do not believe in PTS just because he cannot be ridden anymore unless I seriously cant afford it.
I just hope the tests do not make my worst nightmares come true, he is a cheeky, funny, kind little thing, he always brings a smile to my face. He gives me a reason to get up each day even if I feel like giving up...
So, please can i have some famous HHO vibes? I really dont want to lose him like this.
Thankyou for reading, wine and diet coke is on offer!
