Gosh, how glam is horse keeping! Last night, about 9pm I sort of "knew" Storm would need a wee - she normally does one whilst OH hangs her net up! So, bucket at the ready (on vets orders - I don't normally make a hobby out of wee catching:tongue I managed to get some, gosh I was pleased with myself, but had only an empty Sainsbury's Basics litre water bottle to hand to pour it into!!:giggle: Vet been again this morning and taken more bloods - poor Storm is still not herself. He has also drawn fluid off the lumps near hear udder - she was so good for him, he put a bit of stuff on to numb it, but she was very calm even with the shaver. She really must be feeling out of sorts!! The antibiotics haven't worked obviously - she had the last one this morning. Anybody else had horses with mystery lumps? She still isn't right at all - eating but not in her normal huge amounts. He had a look inside too - couldn't feel anything wrong, nothing obvious anyways which is good. She has been thoroughly prodded and poked today:skull: The horse flies are awful here today, I am toying with idea of turning her out much later complete with rug of course.
Vet said it would be sensible to not expose her to the horrid insects as it would make her want to run away from them and she is in no fit state for that.
Has anybody's horse sucessfully had treatment for lumps / growths? He did say it wasn't in the normal place - as it was further back than they normally appear.
Any thoughts appreciated.
