Update on Finni's Visit to Dr Ralph

[Ferdinase514]

Feel very silly now for my hysteria this morning. Can only put it down to explosive diarrhoea, i'm afraid

Anyway, the fat man is fine. Dr Ralph had pronounced both eyes in working order.

Goodness knows what the original vet was going on about.

Can only draw the conclusion that Finn is officially an @rseh@le and there's no medical reason for it

So, thank you so much for all you good wishes this morning, I can't tell you how lovely it is to know people care.

Am exhausted from all this worry and upset of my bowels. Am off to regain some energy in preparation for quadrille practice this evening

P.s. there was talk of him having gastric ulcers though......and the immortal words "are you insured?" popped in to my head

 

[teapot]

glad there's nothing wrong with him

 

[sleepingdragon10]

So glad that he's OK.....must be a huge weight off your mind.

Now Fin, start bloody behaving for your mum!!

Glad he is ok

Did he have anything else check or just his eyes?

 

[Enfys]

Phew! What a relief for you, I am SO pleased to hear this news.

 

[SSM]

Knew it was good news when I saw your smileys!

Would coligone help his gastric ulcers??

 

[Ferdinase514]

Just his eyes. Think vet put his behaviour down to him being a T/B. Bit difficult to convince that for the first 3 years of owning him, you could let a bomb off next to him, without him doing a thing.

Now he has a habit of being "that" horse in the warm up....

 

[Ferdinase514]

I'm thinking something like that is the way to go.

Vet offered scoping, followed by proton pump inhibitors and then re scoping to check ulcers had gone. Am considering it, but think an antacid in the meantime may help.

Great News!

 

[BBs]

Glad everything is ok with the big lad

 

[KJJ]

YAY!! Glad everything was OK!

 

[Safina]

Great news about his eyes.

Now stop worrying about him and go and get some rest yourself!

 

[Sooty]

I've got some Ranitidine he is welcome to use! Glad all is ok. Way too much information about your lavatory habits, thanks very much!

 

[Blizzard]

So pleased his peepers are ok!!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Brought up in very bowel talk household, i'm afraid

 

[icestationzebra]

Phew! Glad FMC is ok, what a worry!
A good equine nutritionist may be able to offer you some tips to avoid discomfort from his ulcers... they can be managed with a good routine

 

[cosmo_sam]

Phew!! So glad he's still in the 20/20 club!

(unlike us lot who's eyes are fried from too much webbiness!

)

 

[Jo C]

Glad to hear all is ok, they just like to worry you occasionally I'm sure.

 

[Bananaman]

Glad to hear he's fine.

Could a calmer possibly help him with show days?

 

[Law]

That's great news FMC-

 

[Ferdinase514]

Have started him on Top Spec to see if that helps
