QR - IMO people were trying to help you, You asked for advice and they gave it, in which you then proceeded to ignore it.

for a start i can't think why anyone would come on here to ask about a suspected illness/injury serious or not, they should be out caring for their horse

The vet should have been called straight away instead of leaving it, what happens if you were to turn up on saturday morning and your horse be dead? I think it's appalling to be honest

Why don't you stop being so obnoxious it's well past your bedtime now!

You've twisted this story to suit you all the way through. If you can't accept help and advice given freely with no strings attached, by people who have your horses' best interests at heart, then just don't bother.

We have had horses for over 10 years I do NOT need to go and learn the basics. I have had horses that leave to a ripe old ages and are fit and healthy. Currently I have a 26 year old that still jumps and gets ridden. I look after my horses very well, keep them clean, poo pick every day (unlike some) Clean stables well (never deep litter) Pick out feet daily, groom. I do know how to look after horses – but thanks for you concern!!!!!

I have spent many a post on here (those who have been in the soapox will know) trying to prove that the younger users of this forum - and teenagers in general - can be mature and make conversation with older people.

Your attitude smacks of rude "know-it-all"ness. So thanks for proving against my point.

This forum is an amazing FREE resource that anyone of any age can use. There are people on this forum with valuable horse knowledge that they will happily share, even though they dont have to. You can get all sorts of information and advice that you might not otherwise get.

And at the grand age of 15, regardless of "owning" horses since you were 5 - maybe you should actually take more experienced people's advice and stop being so rude.

excuse me. stop acting like a child.

you know fine well that you were strongly implying that you weren't going to call a vet out. the very fact that you stalled for such a long time was indication enough for the majority of people.

feel free to carry on dragging this up. i don't think you're going to change anyone's mind. last night most people started off feeling sorry for you... it turned to concern... now you're just really starting to p*ss people off.

in reality, you should have come on here today, given us an update (some of us were genuinely worried, i was one of them) and said thank you. because i don't believe for a second you would have called the vet out if it hadn't been for everyone on here telling you to.

i couldn't imagine their website would say 'this product is crap, and doesn't work!'

by the way, i do think bute x is ace. and yes, it may work. BUT IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUE FOR A VET. find me the paragraph on their website that says 'if you suspect your horse has laminitis, this product does better than any vet'.

Oh I read it alright. And all I saw was you describing serious symptoms, saying you were gonig to wait til monday, making excuses, dosing your horse up with drugs and then calling the vet. Your story keeps changing.

And as for the reason you didn't call a vet while your horse was down being because you wanted to get him to the yard first....disgusting. If a horse doesn't want to get up due to pain then you get the horse to go to the vet!

People tried to help you, and you started throwing a teenage tantrum because it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

She's not a troll, unless she spent a lot of time building up a background (see youtube thingy in her profile).

However, I do think she is a little tired and needs Calpol and an early night

Beth, please, calm down a bit and retire gracefully. People were genuinely trying to help. Stick around and you will work out how to post for advice without getting shot down in flames.

Okay i am not going to carry on going on about this and arguing in a forum because its making us all quite angry (me the most)

Cyril is a fine today, absoulutley normal. Swelling gone down trots in hand fine. Rang the vet he said it probably wasnt lami and just sore feet as throughbreds are prone to that. and he hasnt got the best feet in the world! SO he said tomorrow take him of the bute and see how he goes - if all is well then gradually let him out in the day. This whole thing is not a joke and i would have rang the vet regardless of what you said. i was just asking for some other pointers on lami. Hope this puts a stop to this pathetic ranting as its driving me insane.

Cyril is happy in a deep straw bed, eating fine and moving about normally. next time i think i will think twice about posting and not rushing into it and not getting my point across!!

hope this settles things down.

if bute x was a proper painkiller then why isn't it prescribed by vets and why aren't we using it instead of bute which shuts down horses liver etc it might be ok for my horse that has arthritis but in no way should it be used for a horse that is lame when you have no idea what is causing the lameness, the vet should have been called as soon as you saw the horse was lame. And thats the advice you were given which is what you asked for so accept it

Have been out and about and missed most of this, and haven't read the posts, but this sounds like a plan for a return to Forum harmony.

I read your other post, but I didn't reply. Tbh I can't find anything hurtful or offensive to you that was said?

It just seems everyone was genuinely concerned for your horse as Laminitis is very serious and they were giving you the obvious advice which was to call the vet! If you don't like people's responses then why post?

I have just looked at the original post and TBH i cannot for the life of me find anything, rude, insulting, or nasty???? You have been given the same advice as i would give - to call the vet.
As for laminitis, it doesn't just affect ponies, some years ago i took on a 16.1hh anglo arab mare who had had such serious laminitis in the past she had to have a dorsal wall re-section. Laminitis can also be brough on by other things than just grass or obesity. It is often a complication of cushings disease, and equine metabolic syndrome. As well as those conditions you can get traumatic laminitis caused by hard work on hard ground, stress induced laminitis and even mares that have just foaled can suffer with it.
I really do hope your horse is ok and recovers from whatever the problem is.
