So turned him out and RH was corkscrewing more than normal, so booked vet for Thursday forward to Wednesday AM, check ligament right fore has blown up, left hind is fat from hock to pastern, he us covered in bloody grazes wash legs and turn out
Very slow walking out and struggling on turns teetering on edge of losing balance ring vet and ask her to come Weds keep eye on him whilst mucking out as concerned if he rolls he might not be able to get up again
Seriously of opinion that PTS that afternoon is likely as went downhill so quickly.
Fast forward to Weds afternoon and he strolls down to yard as if the morning was just a bad dream, vet arrives I feel a fraud extending her day because I said he couldn't wait until the next morning
Get to yard this morning (Thurs) and he is much brighter wash tail and legs, rinse with antibacterial spray grazes with Hypocare go get Chorrie to turn out together Fred whinnies at C appearing and Fred walks out as normal
Hock us still fat , check still up but he is happier, vet is happy that he has sufficent quality of life so I am happier and grateful for more time with him
