It was my lad's 25th on Sunday.
He's had a parasitic thing that was gross & scratchy, so the full clip was done Friday once his cuts had healed, & so I could shampoo him. It's a bit cold, so he has a duvet under that rug overnight.
He's now 2 months into his cushings treatment & the weight is going on, so I've been leading him out twice a week in an attempt to build his muscle a little. He's back in the field a couple of hours a day too. I can't believe how much he's improved. In a few short months he had a tooth abscess, a cut artery in his leg, several dentals trying to correct the tooth that had caused the abscess (just one more left to do in May, then I'm on 4 monthly), a sinus infection, cushings diagnosis due to massive weight loss, & a skin condition that attacked 2 other horses at the stables - but because of his weakened immune system, he got hit with it full force. I thought he was going to have to be PTS, but the vet kept coming in all enthusiastic, with a "we can fix this" attitude with each new issue.
