Update on Colin

[SirenaXVI]

Well, vet came at 2pm (on the dot!), we tried to see if we could quietly load him without drugs - wasn't going to happen

Once sedated, we had to literally inch him on moving his feet for him. Left him for 1/2 an hour for the sedation to wear off, and then travelled to the vets. Once there, poor little lad was lathered up and did not want to come off! Have had to leave him there overnight and they are going to x-ray him in the morning and do any other tests etc that may be necessary.

My poor baby, I have never had a horse lather up like that before and I felt just terrible leaving him there, although I know it is all in his best interests. It goes to show what an honest boy he is, as to get him off I had to stand on the ramp encouraging him whilst a vet and a nurse literally pushed from behind, not once did he even threaten to kick

So guys - he still needs good vibes

I have my fingers firmly crossed for you both. He is now at the best palce to get him sorted out.

Do you think his hesitancy to go on and off could be down to his leg problems.

 

[SirenaXVI]

Thanks Ali - all vibes gratefully accepted

Yes, I really do, because he can't feel his feet he feels really unsafe so it is a huuuge ask of him poor baby

 

[Alibear]

Prooves what a little star he is then, brave chap to do all that.

Hope they can make him feel better.

Oh what a horrid day

Will certainly keep the positive vibes going x

 

[SirenaXVI]

Yes - a real pig of a day, just made worse by reading in Comp Riders that Pat Priestman died this morning - I knew her really well and that has upset me too

The vibes are much appreciated

Have just come in - been waiting for an update. Hunni, he has to go through this to find out what is wrong, you are doing the right thing - dont beat yourself up so much.

Praying for Colin and a positive outcome and sending you both lots of love and vibes. xx
