Ellie is on the mend :)

[MrsElle]

Since Ellie got attacked by a dog 11 days I have done nothing but worry about her.

She is still on antibiotics, two more days of them to go, then thats it medication wise. All her wounds have scabbed over nicely, but she is still a little lame and her offside hind is still a little swollen.

I was also worried about her weight as every little thing that goes wrong seems to result in her dropping weight - which she can little afford to do at the best of times. However, we have been on 'operation chubby chops' since she was bitten. She has gone from one feed a day to three. She is three scoops of pink powder a day and she is putting the weight on again

Hopefully next week I will be posting pics of her without her ribs being visable - for the first time since I got her!

Horses! More worry than the kids!

You're not joking, Mrs E.

Glad Ellie is coming along after her nasty experience and hope to see some piccies soon

So pleased she is on the mend!!

The swelling will probably start going down once she starts doing some gentle excercise - keep giving her arnica as there maybe some internal soft tissue bruising and it takes a long time to heal.

Glad she is putting on weight to - important to get oldies upt o weight in plenty of time for the winter. Looking forward to the piccy's!!
