What is it with horses and bank hols. HOW do they know? and despite knowing and looking absolutley innocent butter wouldn't melt...HOW do they ALWAYS do it??? I swear its a scam by vets using microchips for alterior motives!

This weekend, I have one lame from infected invisible cut that re infected despite almost stabling her in a lorry full of hibiscrub, iodine, hospital handwash style wall squirty things and scrubs to go in or out of field.. I have one who has pulled a face at another gave him a scotch kiss and broken a tooth which will need pulling if i can get a vet or horse dentist to answer the @^£&$£& phone...and is doing his best to sooth it by packing his hamster cheeks full of anything dirty-bare in mind this horse is usually a clean freak to the point of being hind quarterly retentive about being tidy & clean & I wouldn't put it past him to spook at his own poo while its coming out because its not pristine clean..and another has gashed her inside near fore which is now filled and she has decided to become petrified of anything I have hidden about my person so have resulted to trying to clean & dress it ninja style My fourth one decided to try airs above the ground in the vague general direction of Mars this morning as a bit of rain touched him.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: The display was rather similar to the pyrotechnics at the Palace last night and I actually think he was trying to break dance. My sheep and goats were standing outside their warm dry shelters shivering and blaring and decided they were too cold and wet to even move into the dry when i put their hay in (and it was finest horse hay as I'm out of theirs)all pulling wallace and Grommit faces with knees knocking.
and the polar bear fell over a cat yesterday mid gallop(dog not horse!) and decided to play ball with it in the raspberry bushes and cut his dew pad on a spikey bit of hissing black & white furball :-( before anyone leaps to kamikazi cats defence, it can often be found trying to kill me by performing amateur dramatics when i'm in the tight squeeze breath in double gates to the field...padded nicely with lots of stone wall around the narrow gaps & tight corners..so we aren't best pals as he's the cause of much bruising of ribs, horses and mine-polar bear has witnessed much of this and think he was just re negotiating some cat manners.

i simply dread to think what I'm going back to in a mo...secretly hoping no dramas of any shape or form, that would be much appreciated

so i have come to the conclusion that microchips are infact just a device sold to us by vets which they can then sync to their work calendars to ensure business booms when its double call out... Horses you have been rumbled!

Anyway...not that anyone cares, but off i go, hope to report back later in one piece with no more dramas...please...just for once..????
 
I said exactly that to the vet yesterday!!

My horse I lost a fortnight ago got ill on a Saturday, resulted in emergency callout to pts 10 days later..

My smallest pony came down with a horrific abscess on a weekend just before Xmas..

And my mum's cat, who lives with me right now, had to go to the vet yesterday with this:

Oooh, I recognise that feeling!
Amongst others we had a mare cut her knee in the field on August Bank Holiday Monday the emergency vet was petrified of horses so looked at the knee from the other side of the box and decided it didn't need stitches. I had been on holiday from work for 6 weeks by then but had to get up extra early to meet sis and Dad at 6.30 am at the field every day for 3 weeks to wash the wound out.
Mind you, the vet was so worried by the whole thing that he left us a pair of scissors and forgot to charge for the visit and on an even more positive note, even though we could see all the structures inside the wound no permanent damage was done and it healed with no white hairs.

Crikey, your poor cat, v sorry to hear about your horse-had similar in aug 2010 that was a bank hols and had the vet out 10 days earlier too, same sad outcome but EAM ..I do hope the pony & cat are recovering well and please may I clarify...that does look exactly like the naughty cat at my yard...but DEF not yours..this one is ferral and only had its fur/pride ruffled:eek::eek:

So sorry, but have to :D :0

They do have quite the knack don't they ? Xx

Hope things come right for you and yours xx

Don't they just! V sorry to hear about your cat xx

I know how you feel! I've had laminitis and 2x spasmodic colic on bank holidays .. I dread them now!! :p

I hope yours all mended ok/as best they can? knew it...it IS a scam...we're being done left right & centre! I seriously recon its a brainwash chip and they are led to believe they are the ones getting double carrots....

Very true and they also know when you have been given birthday money or won something on Lotto.

Guaranteed that they will tear a rug or chew their reins to unuesable.

and they are synced to ebay too!...there are millions of horses world wide now, chortling away..what we think are burs are infact not...they are clip in blue tooth horse earpieces...Charlies Angels style..with some uber fat controller vet with a sinnister laugh...you KNOW this is true as they ALWAYS replace the burrs frantically if you dare remove them!

Oooh, I recognise that feeling!

Hmmmm...I think that sounds like the horse owning equine vet who has a horse phobia who refused to stitch my youngster - another rant of mine not so long ago... he's recently moved here from your area too!.....glad yours healed ok tho..and scissors are always useful!:D:D


And yes...am finally back in one piece, tho have just had a huge blow to my nose..by my polar bear going bonkers to Elton John re runs from Jubilee Concert..tho in the polar bears defence, he was brandishing a roll of purple vetwrap while flying round the bedroom like a whirling dervish on rocket fuel...its just my nose thats doing the red arrow impression now..:(
