What a difference 24 hours makes! ❤️🐴
Yesterday afternoon we noticed that our little Shetland, Roy, just wasn’t himself. He was very lethargic, had no appetite and then started showing signs of colic — which is very unlike him. I’m not one to take any chances, so I immediately called Loch Leven Equine Practice and soon Davide was on the yard giving our wee boy the best possible treatment.
It turns out that some barley from the shed, which had just been harvested, had leaked through into the Shetlands’ field without us noticing. Unfortunately, both Roy and Kenny had managed to feast on it. 😳
After pain relief, sedation, stomach tubing and a couple of days of no grass, I’m absolutely delighted to say that BOTH boys are doing great today! ❤️
It was a very worrying day, but we’re so grateful to Davide and the team at Loch Leven Equine Vets for their quick response and excellent care as always.
A huge reminder that these wee ponies can certainly get themselves into mischief when you least expect it! 😂🐴
Here’s to Roy and Kenny today being back to their happy, cheeky selves! ❤️
