Just passing through...
... as I have to ring that insurance company to tell them LC is going to the Animal Health Trust at Newmarket next week for a full lameness workup.
We can't get to the bottom of what is wrong with him.
He tied up earlier in the year, for no apparent reason. We got over that via weeks of box rest (he was no good at field rest), came back into work nicely, went lame again. We got over that, came back into work, all nice and steady, and now he's gone lame again. This time it's like a twisting action of his off hind and he seems to be moving slightly cockeyed. Tried field rest, no improvement.
So, rather than spend x amount of time faffing about, LC is off to see Sue Dyson at the AHT next week. D1 is coping, but stressing; I'm trying not to think about it, other than this having to ring the insurance company. I won't be able to go with them as I can't sit down for that long.
This is a lovely lad who has never been sick nor sorry in the three and a half years we've had him.
Not sure why I'm posting this really. Maybe to make it more real.
(For those not in the know, I had a TBxID four and a half year old mare who I took to the AHT nearly two years ago. She had chronic damage to both hind suspensories. I'll never forget the call when Sue Dyson told me. I asked, in my totally naive way, what we needed to do to fix her. She couldn't be fixed. I had her pts a couple of weeks later. I dread getting that sort of call again. Oh poo. In tears and D1 is here. Don't want her to see them.)
