Gah!

[Nic]

Went out to check on ponies last night & noticed sharer had put D's wraps on wrong legs, so take off to refit & what do I find, not a pony leg but a heffalump leg!

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

So no BSJA for us today

Panicked at first as it looked like tendon, but think he has just managed to kick himself while on the runway yesterday. So vet has been & gone (Sunday call out, ouch!) Poor brave donkey got a jab in the neck & 2 in the bum, he trotted up sound so nothing sinister (THANK GOD!)

So bandaged & box rest for 3 days

Also pleased though, as the vet commented on how very well behaved he was poor soul looked very worried during his jabs but didn't flinch at all

So hopefully should only be a setback for a week, fingers crossed. Gah horses!

I think you should be Gah'ing more at the call out fee rather than the horse

- my dad refuses to pay for call out fees and suprisingly gets away with it....managed to knock a tenner (not much but it is somthing haha) off his last bill...god knows how he does it haha.

Hope that the setback doesn't last more than a week, no wonder you were "argh'ing" at the bandages and the leg, don't blame you.

Glad to hear it is nothing serious though, hope he recovers fast and well for you

Oh bloody hell Nic

Poor ponio! hugs to you and him and i hope he has a speedy recovery!

Sunday call out GULP! 9 times out of 10 if i have to call the vet out you can bet its on a sunday

I swear they wait til a Saturday night/ Sunday on purpose!

He'll be fine, but it's just another annoying setback
