Well I'm sure most of you are used to me going on about Jesper and his never ending problems... luckily he's ok *touches wood* but our old girl - Tally - isn't so great.
Last night I went down to check on her and found her left hind swollen. Not particularly hot and definitely not tender but lacking any definition. She trotted over fine for her food though so sent Mum down to check her this morning. She's no better so the vet came out. She thinks the little devil has been having great fun in the field with our new youngster and has basically given her joints a bit of a bashing. Considering she's 24 and had a pretty hard life you'd think she'd know better! So she's had painkillers and we've got some bute for the next week or so. Vet is hoping they'll be an improvement by tomorrow in the swelling and stiffness, otherwise we have to think again and have the vets back out.
So worried. We've had her nearly 13 years and she's tough as old boots. So HHO vibes required for a speedy recovery.
Oh and Jesper got his vaccination so he didn't feel left out!
