No foot, no horse

[odycee]

The vet came out to Oscar today and she was as shocked as I was that he has laminitis. I never even considered it as a reason for his lameness. He's been lame for about three weeks now which is way before the grass started to come through. For goodness sake, he's a thoroughbred cross and there's not exactly an abundance of grass in the field. How can he have laminitis? Rah. So he's on painkillers now and off any hard feed. He's going to drop weight spectacularly now. I was looking forward to him being out for the summer in a few weeks but really, he's going to have to be in at night still for a while yet to restrict his grazing. Well, he's only got it mildly and we got it in plenty of time so I'm sure he'll be fine.

In other news, I invested in a new TV and got a DVD player for my room (very cheaply I might add). I am indeed made of money. Ha ha.
