Poor Cobbus

[conniegirl]

As if my vet bills were not big enough already!
Yesterday Cobbus came in looking like this:


So emergency vet visit on a bank holiday monday (yay!! My bank account was clearly looking a bit too healthy!)
Looks like the idiot has stuck his head somewhere he shouldn't and got bitten/stung for his trouble.
Vet gave him antihistamines, steroids and a pain killer (because he is a drama queen), she checked he hadn’t scratched his eyeballs at all with all the rubbing he was trying to do.

Why do things ALWAYS happen out of hours??
He is fine this morning but can my animals please stop running up large vet bills.

Poor lad. Glad to read that the treatment worked and he is feeling better today.

Poor lad. Looks like he's been in a punch-up! Glad the eye itself seems to be OK. Hope he's feeling better soon.

Poor cobbus. Hope he's feeling less poorly soon. Same goes for your bank balance...

It’s does always happen out of hours .
It looks sore naughty cob it’s, sadly unlikely to stop him sticking his head back in .Blue the cob has strange scratches on his rug , he must be wriggling into the sloe hedge for some cob based reason ...sigh .

Yes things always do. I had a horse with a trapped leg in a fence in a field that managed to untangle himself but was left severely lame, another horse with a venous bleed 35 miles from home and no vet in the area available - he travelled home on 3 legs to our vets and when we final arrived and he emerged looking worse than ever the inside of the trailer looked like an abbatoir, another with severe sudden ataxia (almost falling over) caused by a previous neck injury and my present horse with a left dorsal displacement colic. ALL on a bank holiday!!
Seems they like to keep us on our toes.
