Hello to everyone.

[Sher Moore]

Hello to everyone, I've just registered. I am from Dorset but I live in Tuscany now. I have a 24 yr old gelding (quarter horse) and a 20 yr old donkey. I got them from the local knacker exactly one year ago. I have a question to ask but perhaps this is not the right place. It's to do with yellow, crusty scabs at the base of the mane. Should I wait? Start a new thread? Sorry but I'm a total deadloss with this sort of thing. (Never been in a forum before.)

New thread in vet forum, with photos.

Welcome, how are things virus wise in Tuscany?

Things are starting to get better now. It has been awful, but not as bad as up north towards Milan, Bergamo and Cordogno. Here, where I am, near Pescia (between Florence and Pisa) we've only had 3 cases and all 3 recovered, luckily. But a couple of weeks ago the death rate was terrible. I'm lucky to have a house in the middle of a large wood, with a bit of land, so the lock down doesn't really affect me too much. Now it's nice and sunny, warm from midday to afternoon, so perhaps The Virus will go away. I hope so. How are you all back in the UK?

We are just ramping up now. And the PM has just gone into Intensive Care . I hope you don't get a resurgence.
