good news

well its kinda of good news,its better than what it was.

My boy has an abcess,it has burst above the heels along the coronet band,so poulticing and antibiotics. At least its not laminitis.

YEA.. They say when a horse gets sore like that it's an abcess until proben other wise.. Good news for you for a change..

I bet you are relieved.

I`d say i am. You would not believe whats gone wrong this end this year.
You poor people have had to listen to me moaning.

Need a holiday but cant afford it right now,so wanted to go to the World show to get some serious shopping done but oh well theres always another year.

Still fingers crossed my boy will be sound soon then i can get some serious riding in.

there are those years you wonder what in the heck????? now for a quick recovery and a quiet finish to this year for you...

WHEW! I know he is ouchy.. But what a break!

I have other frineds that have had a TERRIBLE YEAR.. Their stallion died and they lost 6 foals for one reason or another.. Then they paid 10,000.00 for a nice stallion prospect who ended up with terrible parrot mouth. He was not that way when they got him. His butt went 6" above the wither and his face went every where.. The were devistated as you can imagine.

We lost two this year. One week old filly and of course my darling Chad. Course that was not before we spent 6000.00 trying to save them.

Next year is going to be better.. I can just feel it in my soul..

It seems to be a rough year for alot of people. I lost my Sterling Baby in August, and there have been dozens more since... Next year will be better, I agree!

that kitty picture sure put a much need smile on my face thank you.

So its just not me with the awful year. So hoping it will change.
My little foalie has a umbilical hernia which is getting bigger,will get it repaired when we have sorted his leg out. Hate to think how many horses i could have brought with how much he costing me in vet bills.

Now he on box rest its getting bigger as he losing his muscle tone.

Aww glad it made you smile! Hope your little dude bounces back quickly!

How long would you say is best to use a hot poultice on his abcess before i can then start using a dry poultice.

Dont like the idea of making his foot all soft and gooey
