Waffled a lot!
Horse got a nail in the frog, been at hospital two days, initially good, but now looking like may be infected and require operation.
Horse is my horse of a lifetime, done everything for me, but is 20 and recently been diagnosed with Cushing and arthritis. She's already on medication for both, generally doing ok. But is it fair to put her through box rest etc if her future is possibly restricted grazing etc. On the plus side I think she will be ok mentally on boxrest and we have a large hard standing turnout around her stable so I could manage it.
My heart is saying operate, my head is saying is it for me or her? What would you do?
