Laminitis? SOS

[misst]

So pleased for you on all counts..
Waiting for new pictures of the pig as not been seen for a long time

Thank you so much everyone! I am delighted with him this AM! I just dared to give him a proper soundness look and he looks brilliant, his floaty trot is back and I can’t see anything. Hopefully not just Adrenalin because his paddock is small so he can’t muck around much but he just looks so much better.

And his attitude is totally Atlas!

His little friends head, don't forget about me expression.

I thought how well he holds himself when trotting in previous photos

Love the little pony friend

Amazing really. I had a connie when I was 13. She came in on 3 legs one day. Farrier nor vet could see what issues were. This was 50 odd years ago.
Turned out it was an abscess, came out heel bulb 8 days later. It was in the days before mobile x rays. No vet hospitals close by. No transport. But it was an abscess.
Onwards and upward in California. X

Oh @Michen so sorry to hear the ginger one is testing your stress levels again. Was late to the party but so thrilled to get to the last page and see he seems to be recovering well. Look after yourself xx

I'm another who was (very) late to this thread. Numerous times while catching up I was dreading clicking to the next page, so I'm incredibly happy to see that it's been good news! Hope things have continued to go your way

Hi! Thank you so much! He's doing really well. Looks great on his feet, I'd say he's about 80% as annoying as he was

Photos in his new home incoming when I move him to his mid term “recovery” barn today. And he meets… the pig.

Here he was having a little ten min walk to the pond yesterday morning.

Can't wait to see pig again

Can't wait to see pig again

Here you go! The first time Atlas saw it, sneaking through his run. He immediately wanted to investigate.

And that just sums up this horse and why he was so worth saving, as his vet admirer said!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Awww, the way he's going straight over to check her out! He really is a stunning wee guy!

 

[Bluewaves]

I am in awe of that pig being able to squish its considerable tummy under the fence, no wonder he went to investigate.

 

[Michen]

Yeah he’s extremely interested and curious about her. Not remotely fearful. As soon as he saw her he walked right up to her to figure her out.

He has such a good brain on him!

And the pig yes, is surprisingly agile!

 

[misst]

That's so lovely to see

Atlas' face in the first pic is like "ooohhh Mom what's this here in my run? Can I play with it please? I'm going to go say hi!"

Love how curious he is about things - it's nice when they think things through before deciding to leg it into the next county, leaving you hanging on like Kermit the frog

I'm so pleased he pulled through - he looks like such a diamond

Yayyyyy The Pig is back!

 

[Michen]

Yayyyyy The Pig is back!

I'm literally watching the pig waddle towards Atlas now. I'm staying in the little cabin air b and b on the ranch so I can get Atlas wrapped up with his meds before I have to go to CA next week. it makes for entertaining viewing whilst on work calls!

Sorry to say I’ve only just read this thread. Really felt your pain. He’s beautiful, so glad you were strong and did your very best for him. He’s looking wonderful and worth all the worry.
