More Problems............

[Skhosu]

So.. my lad currently has:
Suspected ringworm,
falling apart foot he lost a shoe on
bad cut on opposite foot
runny nose

And.... tonight he came in from the field with..



.,
..

...

...


..a swollen, warm back leg!
I swear he's doing it on purpose....
I have cold hosed it and plan to go out later and cold poultice it. Any other suggestions?
He has been out 24/7 so not from standing in. It is more swollen just above the fetlock...
I think I'll call the vet if its not better tomorrow?
Poor boy is all depressed now, and he is starting to lose weight

oh no! as a new horse owner I am now scared!! only kidding...**hope he gets much better soon**...just think how great it'l be once all the problems are solved

Oh no, horses just know how to test patience!!

Bud has decided that although minimal rain, its a good idea to have mudfever

just to test me that little bit more.....

 

[Skhosu]

oh don't worry, the coloured mare has mud fever too!
To top it all, sisters pony came in hobbling so he's in for the night too, although no obvious signs there!

well the top list isn't that bad all treatable, don't know about the new afliction

 

[Skhosu]

lol, all treatable, except he wont let us inject him so runny nose is ongoing.
Am just going to book him into the vets for a week or so and say FIX IT!
I suppose I'm only moaning because he without fail manages to be unrideable (sore lumps under his saddle currently, plus lame w/out shoe)
