Update.. not so awesome

Hello my happy chappies!

Afraid not amazing news about Blue, Equine Metabolic Syndrome....
Sorry I haven't updated in a while I have started my new nursing placement far away from home and it was just such a stressful time that I didn't have a chance to sit down and get back into this blog. What happened in short was, Blue came down with mild laminitis and was given danilon and a restricted paddock, 4 days later I came back from night shift came out to see Blue and he could barely walk, vets got called out again and bloods were taken. He has been diagnosed with equine metabolic syndrome which is in the same family as cushings but not nearly as severe. Hopefully, with a bit of sugar restriction it should be easy to manage. Blue has had 10 days of stable and starvation and is sound and happy and back on a very small patch of land with a muzzle strapped to his head.

Since everything seems to have settled and things appear to be on the up, I thought I would chill out and give you guys a wee update. So that's the sum of it, Blue is recovering from laminitis and we should be back in the swing of things be a week on thursday. See you then buddies x adios x
