Some very good news from me (I am due some!)

[madhector]

I was asked by the vet to get a urine sample from Jerry as he has now been off his antibiotics for 2 weeks, and she was worried things might have started going downhill again. Well she just rang and said it was all normal, no sign of any blood, or anything odd, he isn't dehydrated at all. So we are really pleased. She wants to test a sample every month for the next year to make sure it doesn't happen again as we still don't know what caused it.

But the even better news is she thinks it is time he does some proper work, and has said i can start schooling him again. So I am planning a schooling session for tomorrow, expect loads of pics

Have you got any tips on successful ways to get a urine sample from a horse (a mare actually)?

 

[madhector]

Yep, Im quite well practised at this lol

Take all the bedding out of the stable, leave horse in with a net for a few hours, then either turn out, or add nice new bedding, usually works, but be ready with a jar or something!

I started off following him round and round the field in the morning but wasn't too successful, he got very suspicious!

 

[madhector]

Seems to be, he still doesn't like you touching his side, but doesn't mind me brushing it, and I clipped his tummy and it didn't worry him, so think it is just association now. He is very lively though, so schooling should be fun

Great news! Hopefully now you can put it all behind you
