Well the snot's really hitting the fan. The coughing horse is Roly, the elderly pony, next door. When he trots he coughs LOTS....but I can't decide if he has a chronic lung condition or if he's "full of you know what???". Might have to ring the neighbours.
The phone rang hot while I was feeding up doing obs. Obs which were, to a horse, very very normal. No coughing. Everyone fanging for food. Hotter day today, so temps a little above the average temp to date.
Keema - 37.8
Noah - 37.8
Paz - 37.8
Amazzon - 37.5
Bartie - 37.7
Frontier - 38
Lucky 37.8
Is this a slight elevation for all? Or is it the fact that we had a hotter day. Time will tell.
Yes, the phone..... Daphne Herman (over the road, over the hill) left a messsage & Carmen rang back to say yes, they were now definite members of the "snot trenches". Her well bred black ASH mare has a good amount of snot, all of them the cough. They are.... practically a neighbouring property.
Another message from the Bergmans - to say that their pony at the Sawmill on Lake Manchester Road has EI - & chasing drugs!
Still another from Merton, just 500m away, in need of drugs for a mare out at Glamorgan Vale who looks like she's got over the initial bout to develop a secondary infection.
Instructions and supplies of Bute and Bromotrimidine for the lot!
Hope that's it for tonight. Come on Keems, we have to get you foaled down! Maybe I NEED to go for the valium tonight.....the dog is definitely on the chain with an ACP tablet! Thanks Marty for working the afternoon on stopping him from getting under the house. We can't afford for him to chew the phone line in two.....he has slowly been destroying all the plastic related "lines" under the house...... Don't really need a dog with a plastic fetish at a time like this!
