Part 3 Nikki and ray-dealing with ulcers

May 2013

Mud fever gone, but now have another wet related      problem…..liver fluke! Just been diagnosed by the vet through blood tests and dung samples.

At least that could be an explanation for the weight loss!!

All treated now and grass starting to come through, so hope to see an improvement very soon.

We are doing well in the dressage……almost there with the regional qualification—need 3 more prelim points before the end of June (watch this space)

June 2013 

       What a fab brilliant horse, we have just got 5 prelim points, so that’s it….we did it! Hope to go to the regional s in August, but I would just like to see an improvement in Rays overall condition.

       Ray is not quite himself……..has been out on spring grass and getting plenty to eat, but still not putting on any weight (this picture is 2 weeks into a fresh new field of grass and all the other horses have blossomed) Vet is coming tomorrow, we are going to have full blood tests done,     Nothing untoward showing with bloods, so Becky Wall from Three Counties Vets has suggested further investigation.
