Update from Gingerwitch

wooooohhooooooo indeedy GW:D fantastic positive piece of news, will be keeping everything crossed that the big cheeky pony continues to get cheekier and healthier;):D
 
I am bloody knackered though - and hubby whom is a workaholic has really been a godsend - he seams to enjoy his nightly visits to the big lad - and he sees a real differance in him, whereas I am to close....... he has had to pay my credit card bill though today too

Whoop so pleased for you.....the hay diet was the hard part for us too, he was only allowed 14lbs in 24 hours of soacked hay along with the feed with the metformin and danilon in.......
 
Well they like to floor you dont they ?? went back to check at 11pm OMG - horse on 3 legs, me in tears, husband trying to reason with emotional tired wreck (whom had had half a bottle of wine ) -me onto vets.... vet being very good, very reasonable, and me still a crying wreck !

It should be pretty obvious that once all the pain had gone (nerve block) and the poor chap had done more walking than he has in a month on his poorly let that the poor lad would then go BOOM - in agony again - but try telling this to me last night.

Must go an apologise to hubby - i did call him a few not very nice things... thank you lovelly vet man - at least I did not drag you half way across the county to give me some reasurrance - he did say that he knew of our case very well .... but never seen him before ---- wonder if i have a tag on my name saying "hysterical egit on phone" !

Big lad - bit more comfi this morn, put his stable bandages on, and he seams keen enough to eat - so maybe the darkest hour is just before dawn as my mum always says

Hate to say it, but I told you.
Honestly, it is like the longest, most dippy roller coaster ride ever :(.
My poor OH used to dread me coming home, not knowing if I was going to be mildly happy or a sobbing wreck :o. I have never cried so much in the dark hours of night whilst nursing my pony :(.

Glad he is more comfortable this morning!
 
Bad news city arizona..... big lad just has not picked up since yesterday - been lay down most of the day.... vets coming back tomorrow and doing the works on the x-ray.... we still cannot belive that he is in this much pain from the degree of rotaion he has..... so were back to where we started.... we know he is lame.... we know it is his 1 hoof - nerve block proved this.... but everyone knows its too much pain to be the lami?

I am in bits.... vet has promised me an answer by Sat night - if x rays dont find the issue then were going to start a process of nerve blocks into every joint of his hoof.

So yet another night of pain for my pony and another night of pain for my heart - if i loose him i am giving up - i could not bear to loose one like this again -
 
Thats crap.....,are they going to take different ankles? It will cost more but it might br worth it to see the different angles of the joint.

Sendinf lots and lots of hugs
Xxxxxx
 
Oh Gingerwitch i feel absolutely horrid for you :( I really hope big lad picks up and that you have your answer. You must be an absolute wreck and nobody can blame you for that.
Thinking of you x
 
Vet is going to do angles that would make pythagarous excited !

We will find out one way or the other.... then decisions will have to be made.... I dont care if it costs 10k to have him pain free and never ridden again... it will be found for him. But I won't let my big man suffer.... he is to noble and brave and honest to see in pain for no results i.e. no turn out ever.
 
Been thinking about you today. I'm so sorry, this is such an emotionally exhausting time for you - I would be completely in bits.

There are so many peeps on here sending your lad vibes, and to you too. Remember you are doing all you humanly possibly can. Hope there is better news in the morning.

Shysmum xx
 
How totally gutting hun, but he seems to be a fighter and I'm keeping everything tightly crossed that he pulls through x
