My vet was out today to do her teeth and give Dolly a thorough check over and take final 3 month bloods to confirm she is now well and truly 'cured' from whatever weird illness she had back in the late winter/early spring. He couldn't believe he was seeing the same horse - It is very windy here today and they are all very lively to say the least. I was flying a kite trying to hold her, in the end she had to have some light sedation to get everything done. He said he was delighted to see her so on her toes and lively and back to her usual self even if she was being a pain to do
Anyway - in passing he was saying how they still discuss her 'case' and are as baffled now as they were when she was ill....I said it seems silly now but I really believed I was going to lose her at that time. He said no not silly at all she was a very, very sick horse and he also believed we would lose her as her bloods were all over the place and just getting worse each week no matter what they tried to help her- and her recovery is as baffling as the illness. Fortunately he didnt tell me this at the time -not sure how I would have coped!
Not too sure why I am even posting this...just so happy that he is so pleased with her in every way - and even said her weight is just grand despite not exactly getting much work this year she still isn't overweight which is a huge relief as that has worried me this summer. bloods will be back next week but he has no concerns that they won't all be just fine.
Lucky me! Lucky Dolly! Love my life!
