Ok I'm not one for tempting providence but having said that with my luck recently I should be changing my whole superstitious outlook lol..!!! So I thought I would just post what the vet said and not say whether good bad or indifferent lol
KK well yesterday massive worry with Tom as you know thought his pedal bone had come through turned out all was ok and a false alarm..... Anyway the vet who came to see him was Oscar who has not been out for the last two weeks as he has been on hols but he was the first vet treating him for his laminitis when it first started and saw him at his absloute worst... he did not really coment much yesterday apart from saying he looked brighter than when he last saw him...
Well he was back today to see the grey horse then went to see Tommy... he checked his heart rate, asked Tom to pick his feet up (which he did easily) and checked all his pulses.... The upshot was he said that he was comfy!!! comfy and the meds were holding him at last..... for the first time his meds are enough to stop most of the the pain and he thinks the attack is over he just now has to heal the damage..... If he is still the same in a weeks time we can look to gradually reduce his medication...
He still has many hurdles to overcome and so many things can still go wrong for him but the B****y hateful laminitis is at last under control....
*hiding behind the chair ddodging the thunderbolts*
Oh and thought would add pic showing his £450 pair of Jimmy Choos!!!!! Was taken weeks ago he is still firmly locked up lol
