Tuesday, apparently - found in the back of the field shelter, trapped by three horses, with fresh wounds. Happily, they didn't need the vet, and Beth found my tub of green oils that i'd left out and they're all healed up. and it was clearly horses week to panic minders - on Monday, the person minding someone else's horses had a panic as she couldn't find them, they turned up hiding in the field shelter, and Beth was panicking that she couldn't find Monf!
then today, he has a large lump on his throat, about half way down at the front, with a healed very fine scab over it..... very odd. Texted vet, and he advised hot poulticing for 10 minutes or so at a time - as i did with his jaw - and we'll see how it goes. he was eating etc fine, so not impinging on windpipe etc, but clearly will have to keep an eye on that.
and the plan for him to be ridden by RI during the week didn't happen, as it kept raining....
and person minding Nessie cat hadn't seen her all week, and she didn't appear last night, so we were worried - but she has come home this afternoon, phew.
Wonder why Monfy is getting picked on? Usually, the herd dynamics are sorted out by now.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to hear Nessie is back home. I guess she was upset that "her family" had apparently deserted her.
Bet you are glad to be back really and the holiday seems a long time ago ...... Good to hear Monfi is ok and Nessie cat is back home.
