Hattie has been at the vets since Sun night. Vet was supposed to ring me Mon to update me on her fluid problem, he didn't. Nor did he ring on Tues. I went over to ride her tues night, no one was about apart from someone in the office who didn't no what was going on.
I phoned the vet this morning to be told he sent her swab to Newmarket and was expecting the results today (he told us on Sun he would take the swab to Langford personally on the Mon), but didn't have time to talk to me more then.
So I went over there tonight to ride her again and briefly spoke to him as he was looking at another horse.
The fluid contains E Coli, same as before, which is because she poos down herself, he has now only just washed her out.
She really is very unhappy there she can't see any other horses during the day and only a mare and newborn foal at night. She is pooing all down herself something she doesn't do at home and never on hay, this is her way of saying she is stressed, but the more she poos down her self the worse this fluid thing gets. She calls to me when I go out of view and really screamed the place down when I went back for my hat after I tacked her up. She loves her rides and really chills out when we are out but gets really tense when we come back to the yard. She's not a real worrier but you can definitely see she is unhappy. I drove away in tears tonight as I hate seeing her like it.
And the worst thing, no one has told me when she can come home or why she needs to stay there. And the fact if I didn't go over to ride her she would be in a stable 24 hours aday with no exercise.
Dad is going to ring up tomorrow saying I'm not happy and want to bring her home that night as I know if I do it I will start crying again.
I really am thinking whether to forget the whole thing and try again next year with a different vet. As my bosses vet has 24 hour turn out and will do most of it from my home, which I'm sure would suit Hattie better, I just don't like the vet.
