Lari has had his bloods taken today for the insulin resistance test and also a free cushings test.

I await the results of both with baited breath.

As the vet couldn't find out whether sedation would have any marked effect on the results I decided not to sedate with sedalin and to give him his due he was good being led both to and from the field which is probably a quarter of a mile walk. But he did go a bit stupid leaping and broncing for a few seconds.

We made a small paddock on the grass he was on before as there was no where else for him to go.

Big decisions to make if the results come back with a huge spike.

The vet was very pleased with his tendon which was still down and faintly warm with the boot removed and was pleased with the way he was walking.
