Celebrating life with a jump of joy...we hope!

[ursula wilby]

Life is not always easy and things don’t always run as smoothly as we wish. We were delighted with our filly, well built legs, full of joy, but then, day 3 she was walking on three legs and run a fever. Not all that much, but enough to worry us and bring a vet out.
The result was a trip straight to the animal hospital. A long and nightmarish drive with Ivy calling for her foal in the trailer and us knowing we had an unsteady three-day old foal standing or laying next to her in a very confined space.
But the trip went well and the foal (still unnamed) was operated on straight away, flushing the joint on her back-leg.
We were told the outcome was uncertain.
But then we picked both up one week later, the foal shaved in various parts of her body, but now with a very good prognosis of full recovery as the joint was not affected at all.

There are still daily injections and a lot of medication ahead. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this is the end of the nightmare…
It looks as if things are moving in the right direction.

Poor little one! All the best wishes for the full recovery! What had happened or was wrong with the joint/leg?

Oh dear, I have had years of owning ponies and still have one 28 year old that I bred (bred 3 altogether) and they can be such a worry so I have been feeling for you this past week knowing that with horses things can go very well or very bad. You will be so glad that she is back home safe and I very much hope she will continue to improve and make a full recovery. She looks very happy to be back home. Good luck with all your recent babies.
