So sox has been on the steriods for a week now. Well a week this Saturday just gone.
However Saturday night he had strong pulses but at the time I couldn't keep him in. I was down early Sunday morning due to work and his pulses were pretty much bounding so I kept him in with a deep bed and wet hay and rang the vet after work as to whether to give him the steriods that night. He firmly told me not to . Not until his pulses had come down and to ring my vet first thing tomorrow to dicuss other treatments.
Soxs pulses have come down alot thank god!
However I still rang the vet. I felt his pulses today and they were there but no were near as strong as before.
A farrier was down so I asked him to have a look and he said it may just been concussion from the hard ground but if his pulses are up to keep him in but he doesn't think he has had laminintis. The vet returned my call and basically said we need to see him tomorrow if your work commitments don't allow it can someone hold sox tomorrow for the vet. I am down in the afternoon so the appointment is booked for then. Don't turn him out tonight. Wet hay and deep bed and vet will see him tomorrow and only after they have seen him can they see about steriods or another treatment.
really didn't want to have to pay for yet another vets bills so soon after the last one... which I haven't even got yet... its only been two weeks since the vet was last down...
Just want my horse back
