September and October have been the month for keep the vets busy and in the money.
Rosie cob first of all has been attempting to die of liver failure since July - she has been to hospital at great expense for a liver biopsy - which showed that she was a very ill girl indeed. She was so scared at the hospital - all these glossy expensive horses, all neatly turned out, and a hot sweating cob who was in a tizz and worried about it all. She was so glad to be home and running on empty that she managed to fall and split her cheek open the day she got back. Fortunately her second test results are a bit better, so while her prognosis is that dreadful word - guarded - we are hoping that she will at least recover enough to potter about.
Molly cob, already on a permanent sick note, clearly gave Rosie instructions on how to get ill and no longer able to be ridden.....
Tintin, the amazingly large donkey has had a swollen gullet and neck, so he has been tubed to see if there was any obstruction, and now is on tablets to see if it will go away. He was a very brave boy to have a stomach tube put in without being sedated.
Aimee has also decided to get in on the act by being lame - she is being poulticed twice daily.....
Naturally none of this comes cheap - no xmas presents this year.
