Was at a works do tonight (just about to start on Pimms) when OH rung to say that Oscar had been kicked. He said that a lady on the yard had looked at it and recommended the vet came out. Then I heard the words 'there's lots of clear fluid coming out' and I nearly threw up.
Rushed down to the yard and the poor thing was not happy - he managed to put weight on it but when the vet came out he said that his hock could be infected.
Chocolate Log (being the star that she is) whizzed straight around with the horse box and we took him straight to liphook.
Xrays show no bone damage but the joint is badly infected (even though we caught it early). The boy is now in surgery and we've just got home, so I'll be waiting by the phone now.
Please can Oscar have massive hugs and healing vibes - I really can't lose him now x
