Piper has been kicked

[Clodagh]

Well its really swollen...just as much as before the op.
Trying to speak to a vet is like trying to get a direct line to God.
He is also a bit lame, which he wasn't before. He reared yesterday and that hurt and now he keeps resting it.
I have left 3 messages with Rossdales and 3 with my vets...receptionists are bored with me now.
I am going to rebandage it now although it is meant to not need it anymore. He has got a pressure sore just above his hock which is from my vets bandaging. I am rubbish at it at the best of times! Maybe just a tubigrip? Any thoughts?

Just spoke to Rossdales and I am not to panic!

See me not panicking!?

....... Any thoughts?

Is there any heat? If there is, then a cold hose? 20 minutes, at least. Make him stand still!! Eventually he'll give in, with 2 or 3 of you there.

Alec.

No heat. He doesn't mind being hosed, already having had it done quite a lot!
Have now spoken to all vets and apparently it is all pretty normal. Just as well I never wanted him to be a show horse.
Thanks Alec, and I love your signature!
