Update from Gingerwitch

((((((((((((((((GW !!)))))))))))))))))))

Pus is such good news :D So glad you have updated, and it's good news - been thinking about you.

When all this is over, you need a month in the sun to recover ;)
 
Sysmum... no way am i going anywhere EVER - i have fought to long to have my boy here and no way do i want to miss one breakie, one dinner or one turn out or bring in - we only borrow them for a short while before God wants them back and I am sure as hell making the most of this big lad !
 
Great news, we like pus lol, so pleased for all of you, and so pleased that you are more positive. That is always good, think you need a nice little glass of something and try and get some sleep when your night time checks are done.
 
I feel exactly the same, and as I was typing i thought........NAH !! I am just so glad there is better news, what you have been through is just horrendous.

Make sure you take care of yourself though, stress and all that :)

ps could you put some pics on at some stage of the big lad ? x
 
oh my lord GW you had me fearing the worst then:eek: but now i'm :D who'd have thought pus could be such a joyous sight!!! i really do hope this is the last of the tears for you.x
 
Attheponies - we have thought we have turned so many corners... and each time something else has come and kicked us in the teeth - the sodding mud fever has started up again yesterday and whilst the vet says it priority 10... he is back on antibiotics AGAIN ! - bless my 2nd lot of vets they really really have done everygthing and more to help and have been available night and day - and i do mean night and day - i have had phone calls at 10.30pm and 11 pm and 6am as they know we are with the horse then.
 
We must be the only sort of people who love to see Pus, poo and wee!
Fingers firmly crossed for further recovery.
Both of you are very brave, and your OH sounds like a rock. x
 
I have been following your posts and I really feel for you as it's been such a roller coaster ride.

So pleased things are looking positive again though, I have my fingers tightly crossed he is finally on the road to recovery.

And well done for being so brave xx
 
My OH has been fab... I had a major meeting at work today and he went to hold him for me with the Vet... I wrote him a list of questions and lo and behold he asked every one and made notes. The big lad was impecable for him, and even lowers his head and puts it the right way in the head collar for him.

I was worried about the bill we have run up - and all he said is look - the vets job is to fix him, your job is to look after him and love him, and my job is to pay for him ! that made me cry even more !
 
So glad to hear the good news :) I can quite understand why you never want to go away, neither sis or I ever go away for more than three nights running and never both of us at the same time!
 
Pus and loads of it !!! The words we all wanted to hear, glad your big lad is feeling much better, they put us through the wringer, but we'd jump into it ourselves if it would keep them safe. GW your big lad is one lucky horse to have you, and your a lucky beggar with as cool and caring a partner as youve got.
Jeres hoping the crisis is over and let the healing really begin x
 
Reading your updates with bated breath, your OH sounds a star, it's a bloody roller coaster, so glad to hear he isn't in such pain anymore, fingers crossed things keep on the up for him x
 
That is such good new. I haven't commented before but I have been following this thread with everything crossed. I am so happy for you GW and your big lad :) Happy days!!
 
We have a new game now..... its called we won't eat our dinner, breakie with the nasty make you better medicine until someone holds the bucket and strokes my neck - now this is fine on the late late night check as hubby often tells the big lad all of his woes whilst he is holding the bucket for him.. but 1st thing in a morning when I am trying to get a HUGE load of antibiotic powder into him.... well that has now added anohter half an hour on to the chores... the half hour earlier I now arrive is a little bit too early for the big lad, and he looks at me in disgust, with little winkie eyes... this morn I had mucked out the little fella before the big lad decided he would get up and investigate breakie.... i just wish you could get antibiotics to stick to hay - then it would be gobbled up in no time ! lol - its just nice to have had two days the same, another vet visit on Monday, and I have arranged for him to get a massage a couple of times a week - my hubby wants the same but I told him to "do one" !

How is he with needles? I couldn't get my boy to eat his antibiotics so the vet gave me syringes and the medication and I did it myself. Not great but he needed them to survive so it had to be done. Fingers still crossed!
 
Am glad you have pus.......I am waiting for puss at the mo as lami came out stable yesterday morning with swollen leg and lame so cue panic call to vet. Vet came out and he reacted to hoof testers.....cue more panic!!!! But she thinks it's an abscess so am going with her. Just waiting for the puss tO come out.
Xxxxx
 
good news GW ! Hope you manage to sort out the medicine refusal - once I had to use injections as the horse wouldn't eat his meds, fortunately this horse was not a kicker !
