Really not been a good day

[madhector]

Well today has turned into a bit of a disaster really, Had the vet out this moring to see how Hector was doing ( I thought he looked loads better) and she tried to lift his front foot up and he went straight up in the air, did the same with the other one, trotting he looks awful behind still, the bute hasnt helped much, so after alot of talking we both decided enough was enough, he will have the next couple of weeks, but we wont put him through the trauma of being shod again.

Then went to work, got back and turned out Jerry, went to get Hector to turn him out, was leading him to the field, when the hairy pony decided to stick his head out of the field shelter (where he is living till he is less wild) Hector freaked, Went up in the air, and some how managed to kick me in the ankle and knock me over, kept hold of him, not sure how and was stuck there for ages as couldnt get up, eventually managed to get through to dad on mobile and he came and took Hector from me and turned him out.

Off we went to A+E, was convinced it was broken, and started panicing about work and what to do with a fit bolshy 5 yr old, but thankfully it is just acute soft tissue damage, and will be ok in a couple of weeks, and no plaster

So not a great day, but have survived it

Im getting used to the idea, at least I have had a few weeks to get used to it, but wont make it any easier

My ankle is huge, and a nasty shade of purple,

Oh and the pony has a name now, thanks to him scareing the living daylights out of Hector he has been named Spook

 

[Pidge]

no not an easy decision to make

Have you taken anything for your ankle like ibuprofen? Just had a thought have you any arnica gel as that should be good to help soothe it? My own first aid kit tends to be bits I've nicked out of Pidge's, aloe vera gel is so soothing you could always try some of that?
Ah well at least he has a name then - could have been worse I suppose you could have called him"you little ******"

Poor little chap didnt have a clue what was going on, dont think Hector was expecting a pony in his field shelter (even though he had seen him there in the morning) Decided Spook was an apt name
