He desperately needs some famous HHo vibes. He has been off his food for over a week. Eating hay, grazing but just picking at hard feed. Had vet out Thurs and she couldn't find anything, Bloods came back fine.
Sat he couldn't put his head down to graze and was very wobbly. He is 31 so I thought we were going to have to say goodbye.
Vet came and his temp was high so he is on abs and see how we go. She thinks it's viral. Temperature back to normal today but he still can't put his head down and still wobbly. Have left him munching hay but am desperately worried.
Any ideas about the stiff neck?
 
Oh bless him sending good health vibes and thinking of you both. My boy is 29 and I know exactly how you feel. And its an awful feeling. xx
 
Thanks guys. I've had Haddy for 28 years so he is very special to me. In himself he is quite bright and does eat some feed. MM you are so right I will be glad to see the back of this year already.
I go away a week on Monday so am hoping things will be resolved one way or another. Plus I have to give him his jabs for the next 5 days which I hate doing!!
