Our darling, very very special old gentleman has been taken down with bad colic tonight
Hes 26 and usually fit as a fiddle (got placed at 2ft6 jumping 2 weeks ago) but my mums friend went down at 4pm to ride him to find him flat out in the field
To cut a long story short, two vets have been out and hes had as much medication as they can give him. Hes been for a little trip in the lorry (on vets advice) to try and rouse him to fight this (he loves going out in the lorry). It worked a tiny bit but not much
They cant take him in to operate as hes too old so its up to him now. Vet says its touch and go
Were all on vigil and have organised shifts through out the night.
Please everyone keep your fingers crossed for our beautiful, gentle little man. Im crying while writing this, we've had him 20 years and hes so healthy at the mo, its such a shock.
C'mom Herbs my baby, we love u so much please dont give up now... not when ur so happy and healthy at the moment.
Thanks every1
