Vet Visit 20th January

Fred

Eyes Beginning of cataracts both eyes, almost certainly age related, currently not issue as not impairing vision.

Heart Good

Lungs Good

General Cushings continue with management routine (Agnus castus/fibre diet/soaked hay) whilst funds allow keep him in bar shoes, not strictly necessary but Liz of view they are a good idea given his age and laminitus risk. Leaky bottom probably have to accept as he ages it may get harder to control, nothing new on market to suggest/try.

Chorister

Eyes Same as when vetted

Heart Good

Lungs Good

General Nosebleed stop worrying :goodvibes: , risk of gutteral puch mycosis low. Extensor tendon swelling (LH) disappointing that still filled but cosmetic. Warts on sheath as not progressing leave but keep watching brief. Condition Liz thinks he is looking good :thud: awaiting tomorrow's physio report with interest :lol: ND is very through and detailed suspect Liz was expecting Chorister to have turned into old crock from physio reports

Trot up RH slightly swinging wide, Liz not concerned as not issue under saddle. In general loathe to go in all guns blazing as can create issues as well as resolve issues and her view is that this for a 19yo is a non issue. Physio should be sufficient to keep eye on it.
