The moment of truth...

Axey's leg is fine.
I took the bandages off this morning and the swelling has gone right down, he just has a very small localised lump underneath the cut/kick.
He trotted out sound

Phoned the vet and he is perfectly happy and said I can carry on as normal, riding him and turning him out etc.
I have some antibiotic cream and I am to keep the wound covered with that for a few more days.

I am allowed to turn him out today but I didn't because of the awful weather, so will ride him tomorrow and put him out on wednesday. Will have to do somehting with him later, maybe I'll just walk him out in hand.
His leg has swollen up a bit since the bandages came off but vet assures me this is normal and I am to keep him moving.

a very happy seahorse
