Painful leg

[CharlieChook]

Hi all,
I’m new to pony ownership. Sadly my wee boy earlier today hurt his leg, he was unable to put any weight on it. Vet came immediately, suspected ligament / tendon issue, worst case scenario a break. Really hope not. 😢
He’s had an injection of painkillers, and is all strapped up. He’s stabled, and quiet and quite fine. Nibbling his hay.
However, the other pony comes to check on him, and he gets a bit twitchy about her doing that. I think there’s a bit of a power struggle coming from her...she mothers him, or maybe it’s bullying....
Do I keep her away? Lock her in the other field to give him peace or might he be better having her to visit?
And, would you go to check on him through the night?
We last checked on him an hour ago, I’m going again in an hour.
He seemed peaceful enough and quite chilled.
Do we continue to check on him every hour or so? We don’t live nearby but it’s a short drive away.

If he is quiet and settled in the stable, I think I might check on him one more time tonight and then, so long as all is well, leave him to it undisturbed. If the other pony can't get into the stable, you probably don't need to fasten her into the other field but if you think she will disturb him , perhaps fasten her away. Will she call from the other field?

Fingers crossed it's not too serious.
