Coblets off to the vets Sunday - another wobbler out hacking today :(

[SuperCoblet]

Some will remember I posted a while back about Gypsy falling over on the road and feeing very puffed out and wobbly as if he was about to fall when we had a canter around the woods.
I updated the other day saying he's fine now on sugar beet, took his to the woods again today and he just wasn't right he had no enthusiasm for a canter (he usually goes mad) and at the end he almost looked pale and started swaying and it was all very strange. I got off, took his flash noseband off (for a bit more breath) and walked for a couple of miles. He then seemed fine so I hopped back on and we plodded back home.

We've phoned the vet as soon as we got home and she suggested anemia or heart/lung related.
So as we have no facilities were taking him to her place and going to ware him out a bit so she can do some tests, and hopefully get a blood test out of a very strong, needle-phobic cob!

I do hope it's nothing too serious for the little guy, he's been going so well recently

Wishing you luck Hopefully it will be nothing serious and he will be back to his normal self in no time

Fingers crossed for you both - let us know how you get on.

Thanks Jackson, and will do DM

Poor fella, he hates the vet so much, I dot think the vets too keen on him either, he eats all her treats before he becomes friends with her

Does sound like he could be anaemic. Very easily solved though, assuming it's dietary.

Poor lad. Fingers crossed for him...

I haven't read your previous info but has azoturia (Tying up) been ruled out?
